Thunder Man Movie
 

What ever happened to the Thunder Man ( the Don Aronow story ) movie that premiered at Cannes Film Festival May of 2007.There is a web site however no info if it was ever released to the public. ???

I just finished reading Speed Kills and am half way done with Blue Thunder. It would seem that Mr. BK down in Marion has some ties with some less than friendly people and I'm sure there would be some reference in the movie to these "people" and BK. So I'm sure the producers and owners might have had a talking to.

Bizzarre. Great reading though. Aronows murder will never be solved, but it appears that some of the players are already where they belong.

Just finished Blue Thunder and according to this version, Aronow was owned by the mob. BK was a family member and took everything he wanted from Aronow and nobody could understand how or why Aronow let it happen.

An alleged Grand Jury Subpoena is what had everyone worried Aronow would talk and he was wacked.

Very interesting books but like most of these cases too many open issues and no proof of anything. It will never be solved.

Aronows son Michael has written a book. I'm going to get it next.

The large scale version of the movie is in the process of being made by producer Tony Scot of Scot Free Films. Tony Scot is Ridley Scots brother (aliens).

Tony just got done with American Gangster and is currently shooting a new film with Denzel Washington. After this movie is done he will proceed to shoot a Don Arronow movie about his life and death. It is supposed to be in the realm with American Ganster, Goodfellas, Casino, etc.

The rights have been bought. The idea has been sold to the studio. The producers are excited. Now, hopefully the writers strike does not continue so the movie can be put in the can asap. If all goes well I'm guessing mid to late '09 release.

I have a 3 minute trailer to the Thunderman movie. The 1st smaller production by :
Writers
Paul Castro
Luca Giussani Story
Arthur Jay Harris Story
Silvio Sardi Story
Producers
Max Alvarez ... executive producer
Luca Giussani ... co-executive producer
Donald Ranvaud ... producer
Silvio Sardi ... producer
Production Companies
Silvio Sardi Communications


And the larger production much later (now in planning) by the famous Ridley and Tony Scott Brothers from movies including Top Gun, True Romance, Crimson Tide, The Fan, Enemy of the State, Man on Fire, Domino, Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, and Black Hawk Down

I have a copy of the documentary, its pretty good narrated by Andy Garcia

Hope that helps :drink:

Cool thanks.

Not a bad movie, but I was expecting a motion picture, not a documentary. Thoughts?

Dont know yet, I havent had enought time to watch it yet.. :( Hopefully I will get a little time this weekend.. I have had the movie at the house for over a week already!.. Its killin me waitin to watch it already.. lol :) J

I have the video. It is very informative about Dons life and death. Not much boat action in it ... Very few minutes about the boats. ...Jeff

I was a little bored. It needs MORE BOATS! More action!

Lots of talking heads, still it is interesting, but I was expecting more, great music video!

Does anyone know if this is available commercially anywhere other than Amazon? I'd like to grab a copy locally if it's available in South Florida somewhere!

Thanks,

Harry

Just finished watching it. Hoped more for the the "life and times" as opposed to the "who done it". Interesting to see all the connections but a bit boring as doc's go! Not enough boat action but the tunage was cool!

Try ebay under Donzi .

Amazon was real quick, probably 2-3 days to my door.

It was ok, didn't think it was much better than the A&E special. Expected more boat action, etc.
