Saints and Soldiers – Behind the Scenes

Hello everyone,

this video appeared on Wargaming channel, without any portal news, so some of you might have missed it.

 

 

Well, the good thing is, the video has Nicholas “The_Chieftain” Moran, one of the best WG employees (at least in my opinion). I liked the “drive me closer” quote :) The Panzer III looks great as well. Apparently, they made the movie because they actually had access to these tanks in first place, which is IMHO not a good way of making movies, but… we’ll see. This video makes it look interesting.

Oh and there are subtitles in various languages.

  1. Is this going to be a made for tv film or something? production values look a bit shit, but as above, its piqued my interest as well

  2. This is the 3rd movie in the Saint & Soldiers “series”…
    I recently discovered that that a 2nd movie existed, and now this too.
    Now, of all movies that could have sequels or made into a “series” of sorts, I did not think the original Saints & Soldiers would be a candidate. I remember that movie as a…”thinkers” war movie, less focus on action and more on consequences and mental impact on individuals (first movie centered around a warcrime). Its didn’t succeed too well though, IMO.
    And now these sequels, apparently action is basis, and for the 3rd (as seen in the trailer) racism/segregation in the US armed forces (fair enough, if done right).
    But the icing on the cake; “we had access to some tanks, so we decided to do a movie”…the Panzers may look cool and all that, but to me this screams of a turkey!

    Why can’t they (Hollywood) makes independent movies; hence not based on earlier stuff, making sequels and reboots and shit? :P
    Jackasses.

  3. Re: Reboots and sequels:

    When they (hollywood producers) are throwing around that amount of money, they want a guarantee return on the investment. Hence the sequels, it’s a scientific well thought out process.

    You know about Panzer 88 right?
    And let’s be honest here, the 1st S&S was pretty well done for a “low budget” film, this one looks just as good and the tanks seem to be real, so that alone is a good start. I’ve seen far worse in higher budget films (Green Lantern anyone??)
