I think we all know it started in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia etc. etc. and not bloody Wigan Casino, as the years go by the whole ethos of this scene is diluted and manipulated often to suit whoever wishes to jump on the bandwaggon, I'm sure the producers of this film have every good intention of making a decent movie but going by this thread they are up against it from the off certainly not gaining much trust or support from the very scene they are trying to capture, having met many media, television types over the years one fatal flaw that these people have is they jump into a project no matter what the subject full on with what seems on the outside a very genuine passion yet their true agenda is nothing more than at best a very narrow overview of the topic or subject matter, the passion is often short lived during their current project and as soon as it's done they move on to the next thing, the danger is they think they know best and this is often not the case.
These people have the skills and knowledge to make a film which we don't, it would be nice if we did and could tell it like it is but that's never gonna happen, all we can hope is that this production turns out to be an enjoyable well made authentic tribute to the period and the scene, it's in their hands if it's gonna be a hit or something which goes straight to DVD, time will tell but remember it ain't real it's a movie as we all know what the real deal is....see photographs.
