Hi OTFers and badger fans  I would have posted this is the Badger forum, but for some reason we don't have one! For shame! Anyway.
This thread is for discussing my badger film and of course it focuses on the Badger/Womble war. I thought about calling it Badger Wars but naah . . . instead it's going to be called, wait for it, the Revenge of the Badgers! Catchy title, eh!
We are lucky enough to have secured some major woodland acting talent. Bernie Badger himself is set to take the lead role of 'The Badger' and his mates are all mucking in as supporting characters and extras. Wally the Wombat, that antipodean legend, is going to make a cameo appearance as a giraffe. (We'll need some cgi for that I think as the cardboard long neck keeps falling down.)
As for humans, there might be some in it, as cannon-fodder. Wombles? If I get REAL Wombles on set they'll end up fighting with the badgers so it's cgi all the way, baby.
Pre-production is well advanced and we expect to commence shooting (in Epping Forest) shortly. If you feel you have something to contribute to this worthwhile and dead serious project please post in here. Ramdon rubbish will also be tolerated, cos lets face it, any nonsense you lot come up with can only improve the film.

Any room for a puma? It has it's own hat!

Hmmm....I'll have to discuss it with my client, she was thinking about going vegetarian. I'm sure she'll change her mind though as she's been longing to work with Wally for a long time now.
Epping Forest you say? I'll send her for a screen test when you give the word

okay . . . . if it tips the balance, she can wear her hat in the film. Deal?

I've heard a rumour that the Ewoks will be making a cameo appearance as rebel fighters. Any truth to this?

OK, so you have badgers, and wombles, and I heard the rumours of penguins (though I don't know if that's true; could you please confirm / deny?), and you said something about a giraffe - so, are you going to make a monochromatic movie?
I was thinking, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"-style. That one rocked!
What do you say?

One snag, Giraffes arent black and white, they're orange and purple.
Penguins: check
seagulls: check
crabs: in negotiation

What about a zebra instead of a giraffe? It's also a lot easier to get into frame.
Crabs, huh? I hear they are very diffcult to work with...

OK, a giraffe, then - but what is its dramatic function? And speaking of which, who is writing the script? I mean - what's it all aboot?
... or ar the crabs for the catering people?

Hm. So this is a movie about badgers fighting wombles, yes? Written by badgers? ... It seems it's easy to see who's on the winning side. I only hope history won't be changed for this!
