Why would some sick person dangle an Edmund Fitzgerald movie carrot in front of someone like myself who has sooooooo much interest in the song and the shipwreck itself. I am a little bit frustrated because I've been looking forward to it so much. I've told my family ( who know I'm a Fitzgerald buff) then my Mother asks when it's going to be done and I have to say "I dunno" , makes me look like I made up the whole thing ( like some demented, 70's castaway, Lighfoot Lovin,
Bell bottom jeans wearin, 8 track tape listin,Fitzgerald crazed fool.
People already think I'm three decades behind everyone else and now this has to happen. If I don't get my movie I might try to make my own or go crazy trying to.
Let me see: Borderstone as an Oiler
Watchman as Captain Mcsorley and BillW as Bernie Cooper. I'll fund and direct, produce and promote the whole project.

I haven't really been keeping up on it, mostly because I think the producer of this last movie attempt jumped the gun a bit when he put up the website, which lead us all to believe the movie was indeed a definite thing. I do recall reading somewhere that they ran out of funds and were looking for other sponsors. I don't think this particular producer (can't remember his name) has a lot of experience with a big time production and just underestimated the cost. Personally, I hope he doesn't do the movie, because I'm afraid, with the lack of funds, that he would not do it justice. I believe one day someone will do a successful Edmund Fitzgerald movie, but it won't be this guy, and until there is an actual movie, we'll just have go listen to Gord's song and use our good old imaginations.
