Richard III Society Forum - Discussion area for 15th 16th century historyI really hope you all - Paul, Maria, and Kat - can get some serious attention and backing to make a revisionist Richard III movie. That would be great.
Surely you could do it for less than 100 million.
A church group here in the States recently did a movie called "Facing the Giants" for a budget of 100 thousand dollars and after 2 weeks they had made a million on it. They had lots and lots of volunteer actors...and I bet there are many who would volunteer for a revisionist Richard movie because they believe in its message. I know costumes would be a great expense that they didn't have but...where there's a will, there's a way!

Well personally I want to do my version properly, and that includes
three full scale battles, and that takes proper financing. I also
want to do Richard proud, and that would take good to great actors.
It would also need extensive computer input to recreate some of the
sets and enlarge the crowds, amongst other things. Pay peanuts and
get monkeys.
I think big. Big is what Richard and Richard's story deserves.

I have in mind a six movie series. You cannot accurately portray
Richard's options in 1483 without understanding the whole background
of the Wars. And why end at Bosworth when the Simnel and Warbeck
stories are just as colourful?

1. c1450-1461 (Towton centrepiece)
2. 1461-1471 (Barnet centrepiece)
3. 1471-1483 (Tewkesbury centrepiece)
4. 1483-1485 (Bosworth centrepiece)
5. 1485-1487 (Stoke centrepiece)
6. 1487-1541 (Ends with the Countess of Salisbury running around
Tower Green chased by a masked executioner)

Close. Mine begins on October 1st 1452 and ends on August 23rd 1485.
5 parts. As it is about Richard once he is dead there is little to
say except what happened to those who survived the day at Bosworth.

i think you even need to go back further particularily to ric ii and bolingbroke's usurpation of the throne.

richard de conisburgh/plantagenet was ric2's heir, as was his cousin edmund mortimer, the 5th earl of march. r3's grandpa, rich de conisburgh lost his head because of plotting against the throne. his son, richard of york, was only 3 or 4 years old at the time. this richard of york was the father of e4, r3 and geo d of c. the boys also inherited a claim to the throne via their grandmother, anne mortimer, sister of edmund 5th earl of march.

john of gaunt's son, bolingbroke aka h4 and his heirs took the throne via conquest/usurpation. in was the ineptitude of h6 and the avarice of his illegitimate tudor half brothers that drove r3's father to move to take the throne back to his side of the family by conquest/usurpation.

e4 finished what his dad and older brother didn't do. r3 used politics to put the throne firmly into his hands, until h7's double illegit lineage took it back via politics and conquest. h7's mother margaret beaufort descended from john beaufort illegit son of gaunt and his mistress roet. h7's father was the love child of owen tudor and catherine valois mother of h6.

while battle scenes are exciting and add "colour" to the story. i think the background politics are far more intriguing. but then, i love politics and hate war.

here is e3's line of descent to his gr. grandchildren. well at least the ones i have in my dbase. if anyone notices any errors, please advise me with verified corrections.

That's good then. The more Ricardian scripts out
there, the better the chance one will get made. :)

I intend for mine to be on a grand scale, but short
enough for release in theatres. I know we'd all love
a ten-hour miniseries, but my ambition is to get his
story out to a wide audience, get people thinking
about Richard III as someone other than Shakespeare's
villian. Then, hopefully, people will be inspired to
learn more about him. And more people paying
attention to Ricardian scholars' work can only help
our cause to clear his name!


Take care,
Kat

Dear all,

For years, American Branch member Linda Treybig has
put together an annual summer tour of Ricardian
Britain. She has just e-mailed me the itinerary of
this year's tour, which I've converted to an Adobe
Acrobat file and placed on our website -- there's a
link from our homepage at

http://www.r3.org/

Some of you in Engalnd may look over the itinerary and
see opportunities for transatlantic Ricardian meet-ups
that may not have occurred to Linda. Linda's contact
details are in the Adobe Acrobat file.
