Not so good news about "The Patriot"

Posted by Clabert on October 30, 1999 at 15:38:23:

I just talked to a few reenactor friends of mine telling me to be glad I didn`t take up the invite to be an extra in the new Mel Gibson movie "The Patriot". Seems that the director is more into making this a "Mel Gibson pretty boy" movie then historically correctness. Quite a few of the reenactors walked off the set after they were told HOW they were going to do something instead of HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED to be done.
Again, this is just what I heard from them so we may not have a movie that is close to being as good as LOTM. (but could there ever be?)
