CURRENTLY ON KICKSTARTER
Apocalypse Now – like Fallout: New Vegas on acid in Vietnam
Apocalypse Now – experience the psychological horror of the original motion picture
And, in Francis’ own words;
Forty years ago, I set out to make a personal art picture that could hopefully influence generations of viewers for years to come. Today, I’m joined by new daredevils, a team who want to make an interactive version of Apocalypse Now, where you are Captain Benjamin Willard amidst the harsh backdrop of the Vietnam War. I’ve been watching videogames grow into a meaningful way to tell stories, and I’m excited to explore the possibilities for Apocalypse Now for a new platform and a new generation.
THE GOOD:
“The Good?” Where the fuck could “The Good” be? Reducing a film masterpiece to short cut footage for a goddamn game? WTF is wrong with this guy?
THE BAD:
WTF couldn’t be bad about this?
CONCLUSION:
Is Francis on life support somewhere? Or has he joined the rest of the goddamn entertainment world and gone brain dead? Oh well, the good news is that with only a week left to go the project is nowhere near reaching its $900,000 goal. To quote Donnie Dimwit about way too many other things, “Sad.” But the real sadness here for yer friendly neighborhood munchman is that this project even exists.
