Aronow Movie?
 

I thought they already filmed it, where is it? I can't wait to see it! I love all of that Nostalgia stuff!:D

Urban Legend....sorry

Ask Norty. He might know some details. Who stars in it again Norty?:D :D :D :D

It'll never really happen.

LMAO :D :D :D :D

Let's make our own! :p

There was a story that was published in Poker Runs Mag. about Michael Mann producing a film about Don and it was to star Tom Cruise. MM is an old friend and I was miffed that I had not heard of this before so I called him. According to him, it is all ficticious...there is no truth to the story.

A company called "Four Starz" productions was going to produce an Aronow movie a few years ago, but unfortunately it wasn't produced. I still have a copy of the script. Four Starz had done some decent projects, "Boys of Company C", for example. I never found out why they never went forward with it.
:confused:

Believe this! They approached me with a packet explaining the production and how they wanted the Boat Manufacturers to pitch in 50-100,000 dollars to help make the movie and get a thanks and support on your sponsorship posted at the end of the film. At the time it was a huge risk to fork over the monies to assist a producer, writer and director of a film company to call the movie Donzi, which was Don Arronow nick-name.They did produce the sound track of the movie that never happen which i do have in my safe keeping. The movie was going to star either Alec Baldwin or Robert De Nero as Arronow. It was still up in the air. For now since the last contact by the movie people in 1997. No Movie, No supporting funds for Hollywood.

I'll do it for FREE! :fish:

Denny Sunsation,
Wasn't "ZZ Top" supposed to do the soundtrack? I think ZZ did the sound for Miami Vice, and Four Starz wanted something similar.

Jan Hammer did the original music for Miami Vice. There were a lot of contributing musicians on a per-episode basis, e.g., Glenn Frey, Phil Collins, The Gypsy Kings...

I saw a movie of the week on TV in the late 80's or early 90's that had similar story line as the dealings with Mr. Aronow and Mr. Kramer.
They had the storyline based on the "Blue Thunder" contract being revoked due to drug convictions of the new owner of the company, and the return of the company to Mr. Aronow him giving back the contract price for the sale of the company without giving the cash he had received under the table.
I can't recall if they used the real name but I doubt it. It was a little cheesy and was only a TV movie.
I tried to find the name of it on imdb.com but was not successful yet.

We talked about that on a thread within the last couple of weeks. It was a TV movie called, I believe 'Thunderboat Row'. It was pretty cheesy. I have one of the few copies around and am trying to get someone to copy it because some OSO guys want a copy.

Robert Geoghegan.. no no , What i have from the motion picture that never was, is the sound effects of Arronows Cigarette engines running on take off, drive byes, idling by, more take offs etc, then at the end where the cock of the gun is heard, frogs in the back-round , sounds of the night birds, and then a ton of flying bullets hit him, his Mercedes, then starting of the boat and the killer taking off in Arronows Cigarette and going past him again with engines roaring still shooting at him. Very very earry.

It Figures
 

Can't get Miami Vice on DVD and no Aronow film, but yet you can get a stupid show that barely made it through a season on DVD? I thought I read in Powerboat a year or so ago that they were looking for people that had Aronow and other Don creations to use in the movie, my buddy had a 24 Aronow cat at the time and we were gonna use it? oh well!

OC Barry, if you are gonna make copies of that movie let me know, I'll buy one from ya! One of the only boat movies I can remember, even though it was a little far fetched.
