Så... vad tror ni? Min kalkonradar ger i från sig skarpa varningssignaler efter att ha läst det här. En spelfilm baserat på en bok som mestadels består av rent påhitt tror jag omöjligt kan bli speciellt sevärd.
Är det någon som sett nåt av det andra Hans Fjellestad regisserat? Moog har fått 6.4 på IMDB av 47 röster, och Frontier Life är det ingen som betygsatt.
Två kommentarer från läsare på blabbermouth som både sammanfattar mina åsikter rätt väl:
After march of the pinguins, now a documentary about pandas
this is just what the black metal scene needs, a sensationalist dramatisation to attract more idiots to a scene already full of posers.

Från Blabbermouth:
For femten år siden var det norske black metal-miljøet mer beryktet enn berømt: Gravskjending, kirkebranner og mord var det som gjorde norske avislesere oppmerksomme på bandscenen.
Da Varg Vikernes, som den gang kalte seg Count Grishnackh, drepte bandkollega og lederskikkelsen i miljøet, Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth, kom sjokkoverskriftene. Like etterpå brant Holmenkollen kapell, og snart arresterte politiet flere bandmedlemmer.
Mye av dette er blitt skrevet i boken "Lords Of Chaos", som man nå vil lage spillefilm av.

Citat:
"Lords of Chaos", a fiction film based on true events in the Norwegian black metal music scene in the early 1990s, will finally begin filming in Norway in May.
Developed by the San Diego film company ZU33, the project's screenplay was written by Hans Fjellestad, Ryan Page and Adam Parfrey. Fjellestad is set to direct.

Citat:
Hans Fjellestad — who will make his feature film directorial debut with "Lords of Chaos" after two highly successful and critically acclaimed documentary films, "Moog" (2004, Plexifilm) and "Frontier Life" (2002, Third World Newsreel) —spoke to the German webzine BloodDawn.de last year about the upcoming film. A couple of excerpts from the question-and-answer session follow:
BloodDawn.de: So, what's your intention behind the movie? Will you enlighten the people about the scene and remove prejudices? Will you give a critical overview? Or even a warning?
Hans Fjellestad: "It is not my intention to moralize. In fact, the screenplay problematizes the characters and the black metal scene by exposing a subculture that is complicated and diverse. In our story, it will be impossible to write off the church burnings or murders, for example, as a simple result of rebellious teenage angst or some sort of superstitious satanic influence. The motivation and behavior of each character is different and complex. It's definitely more comfortable to essentialize violent and antisocial behaviors as a product of the 'monster,' the 'bad apple,' or the 'mentally deranged,' but I think we all understand that it's virtually never that simple. It's important to think about that. But ultimately I just want to tell a good story and create something visually unique."
BloodDawn.de: Which story will be developed in the movie? Will it be very close to "Lords of Chaos"? Will there be many explosions, tits, fast cars and cyborg-paratroopers? And, when will it end? The info on your page says that it will be mainly focused on Varg Vikernes and Euronymous.
Hans Fjellestad: "The timeline of the film is roughly 1991-1993. The book doesn't really have a 'story' in it per se. It's more of a scholarly investigation into the scene, and it often ventures off into territory we aren't all that interested in for the film's narrative. We used the book more as an encyclopedia and point of departure. In fact, some elements of the screenplay are quite fanciful. We certainly aren't proposing to produce a comprehensive or definitive film on black metal history. That wouldn't interest me at all."
