The majority of film productions hit snags before completion , and I would be surprised if " SO " was an exception ......

If one of the leads has done a Bobby Paris , it will be interesting to find out the reason why ........

COME ON 'Souled Out' reps? Where are you? I thought you were going to keep us informed.. When you want extras for nowt, youre on here ALL the time? Whats the score?

perhaps he,s walked out cos he knows the film is gonna be crap. only going on from what iv,e heard from friends who have been left sitting around for days waiting for something to happen while filming. they tell me also that the film is not truly representing northern soul as we know it.

Well! There a suprise ...wrong clothes for the period, No smoking in scenes, wrong badges for period, wrong shaped people for period, wrong style of dancing for period...not giving a flying f--k about the extras, a deep lack of knowledge on the subject matter....mmmmmm and now actors are walking... I hope Levine doesn't have a go at me for being negative But..................

...wrong clothes for the period, ..................

That's always been one of my problems. Well, that and being the wrong shape as well

But still, I hope the problems are resolved. I can't wait to get down Cineworld to see this when it comes out.

woohoo !!!! we have a breakthrough

Did the filming of the exterior shots actually happen in Birmingham as planned?

I know they changed the date/s once - but when I went past down the Hagley Road didn't see any activity as I would have expected.

Maybe I still got the date or timing wrong??!!

"I heard it through the grapevine" That this production has run into difficulties and that one of the actors has walked? Can anyone from the film enlighten us?

I took my youngest son to this just last Monday, he'd had a call about being an extra, so being a winner of N/S dancing contests of we went. Phew, sat, walked, and frouned my way through the day up until 3.20am when filming stopped and then back Tuesday for a session from 1pm through till midnight.

Being able to walk round the set was great, seeing all that activity and folks doing specific jobs but as time went by it became more and more obvious that the homework hadn't been done to any great extent.

Talking on the set with a member of the crew on the Monday night I was told by this person that they "only knew two things about N/S, one that there was loads of fights and two there wasn't any drugs". It was obvious from the scenes I saw being filmed that that was exactly what everybody else thought.

Most of the extras were teenagers either from agencys or from Stoke and surronding areas who quite clearly had not been given any real idea as to how you dance to northern and this again was reflected in the scenes, some of which made me cringe.

Ok I know you have to have a story, and there was a lot of energy in the dance scenes mainly, and thankfully because they chose not to use (on this occasion anyway)balding fat blokes who still think they can dance the way they did back then.

We finally left, his choice, half way through the Tuesday session because he had become cheesed of with the whole experiance, thankfully it hasn't put him of and he'll be at Prestatyn with us.

Ill still go and see the film because these things can seem a little strange while in the process of filming, but it will not be with any real expectation about how it represents something I was involved in as a teenager.

The film guys have probably given up with SS then and are using agency extra's instead. I'll be surprised if the extra's were told anymore than how to get to Stoke.

Jayne.x.

Probably a little naughty but.........

If the film has used an agency instead of relying on the goodwill of people, they'd have HAD to pay up. Could therein lie the problem?

Well if it isn't Soul Source's version of Les Tricouteurs...

Stitch one, pearl one, drop, kick.......

Think it's Tricoteuses (I got my O-Level French, but it's been a long time!)

Edited October 1, 200816 yr by Richard Bayley

i still hope its released and will wait to see it before i slag it off....as far as sitting around all day goes my brothers girlfriend is an extra for the bbc and has done work on major films too and shes says theres lots of sitting around in every production so im not surprised youngsters are getting bored.....period mistakes ? its bound to have lots almost every film made..even big budget hollywooders..have....

and i dont think you can tell what a film is gonna look like until the editors (no not the band !)have done there magic...certainly not by watching them film it....

saying all this ofcourse the music and dancing shots used have got to be right....buut after all the previous threads on here they must know that already...

Maybe they've done all the close up dancing scenes already and just need the other extras for crowd scenes?

Richard's cousin went to Stoke, she's a trained dancer and I would have thought they would have tried a bit harder with her as ,although she didn't really know how to dance in the proper "Northern" style, she quite clearly could have picked it up as she is trained in ballet and jazz dance. When they called her to ask her to go they asked her about her dancing experience but she was largely ignored when she got there. And she's a skinny 17 year old who would have looked the part

Thanks Bogue and Richard for getting my joke. It comes from being a David Bowie fan, in the song Sweet Thing off Diamond Dogs he uses that expression and I discovered eventually that Les Tricoteurs were the women who used to hang around the guillotine passing their time by knitting and whatever waiting for the executions to happen.

AS I said on an earlier thread when 'Souled Out' were actually replying I read the script 3 years ago and it was appalling, full of fights and only had ONE reference to soul in the form of a Kim Weston record! . Obviously with the 60's Whinehouse. Ronson, Duffy revival, people are trying to push crap scripts into a 'soul' setting....thats how they convince financiers that there is a market for them..The 'souled Out' script , when I read it, had NOTHING to do with the Northern Soul scene....It had two fights in the first few pages!! Square peg in a round hole syndrome im afraid. It seems ALL those who doubted the film were slagged of by the mercinary, 15 seconds of fame brigade as negative and small minded. BUT NOW, they are no where to be heard or seen??

Where is the update? 'Souled Out' producers? Levine?, Stunt Dancers Liam , Paul etc...Does ANYONE know whats going on or what they gave their time and memories to ? Or was the driving force just the desire to see themselves paid or on film? Maybe ego's rather than thought and care prevailed on this occasion? Just a question....

ANYONE? seems to have gone very quiet??

Don't hold yer breath Paul.

I got an email yesterday off one of the production team who is a customer of mine, shall I ask him how it's going?

What is Pete?

The production? Your two word one liner has thrown me!

Hello,

Thought I'd pop on to see how everyone was doing on this forum, and to see where the latest debate was up to. A bit surprised to find this thread! So just to update everyone, we finished shooting on Sept 26th, and every scene is in the can. No cast members walked off. The Birmingham shoot went really well too. The production team is having a bit of down-time, as everyone seems to have developed Stoke flu.

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in either advising on, or participating in the film, the rushes look amazing!

Levine?

For the 100th time - Levine has got nothing to do with this film, he's not contributing any music to it, nothing.

wow, thats a coincidence that you popped on and were suprised by the thread. I thought someone would at least have told you the debate. Anyway, glad its ALL going well. Whens it due out?

Yours in shoes x

Whens it due out?

I heard next Summer.

I wanted to ask will it be on general release, or 'selected' cinemas?

Is the above member SouledOutFilm your production contact then Pete? Did you tip him off about this thread?

Nosey git.

No, don't know who he is, the only one I know is the costume chap, and I only heard from him yesterday cos he wanted to know how to get audio tracks off a dvd I did him onto an ipod, the film was never mentioned.

Nosey git.

I was just curious. If SOF member was just passing by and keeping us updated. Feel a bit better that SS isn't being used & abused (not used & abused as such) but not just here to plug, fish for extras..

Well done mate.. That was as slick as that that bloke on live at the moment.... Mr Cameron... ..

You appeared as if by magic, just like Mr Benn

As the song says " i don't want no one sided deal" ..

Always good to hear from the punters to get a real feel of anything..

Yes we expected a lot of waiting around so wasn't surprised about that. When I said that some of the dance scenes made me cringe I wasn't refering to those from the agencies etc who couldn't dance the 'Northern Style' but a group of dancers who were part of a group known as *** Dancers who were called upon to do the close up scenes of northern dancing, these, it seems, were meant to be those who could do the dancing, Obiviously I'm only commenting on a few minutes of the film which may have taken forever to film but what bothered me was that despite the fact that my lad and one or two others had been asked about there dancing capabilities they were, has you said in the main ignored.
