Greetings from the front row in Cinema A |
|---|
| The game is afoot, darlings. Action Anton has elbowed his way out from wherever he’s been holding up and pratt-fallen onto the silver screen. That is to say: we all hope he’ll make it through the shooting of his fictitious bio picture so that his antics can be captured onto a film negative and handsomely juggled around before your cinema starved eyes. |

| Speed - Action - Anton |
| There would be no Anton without the action. We have staged an intricate fight sequence with body slamming and a break-neck stunt performed by Hans Fredrik. You can also look forward to chases, slapstick violence that would have the Dangerous Brothers blow their knickers off, duels and good clean fisticuffs. The rushes from the action so far are top-notch. Kjetil, Hans Fredrik and Edvard are doing unique work. The are born to do this stuff. |
| The rushes so far (3 rolls) |
| The rushes are coming in from Soho Images and they are very good so far. They are all consistent in tone and the lighting continuity is nicely handled. There was some gate slippage on the first roll. This was most probably caused by a tight a loop as we were turning over, and the result was an odd flicker. A few of the shots are still usable, but we had to re-shoot for two days. This has constituted no significant setback as we have reason to expect quite spectacular rushes from the Tjøme scenes this time around. The lab cost will of course go up with about 150 Pounds, but as long as all the other rushes are great and the spooky error doesn't re-occur, we all a bunch of happy campers. But having said all this, the rushes look this good because the actors are great. |
Story |
| Humorous intro to the storyline |
| (you may want to skip this. Take it from me. The term “humorous” is rather ironically and glaringly UN- humorously used in that particular term’s broadest possible sense.
Very well. You stand cautioned. Proceed at your own risk) Well… the gist of it, anyway. I’m not going to tell you which of the 500 jealousy driven, bastard butlers who did it, or anything like that. But you’ll get a more than half-decent run down of the story –without the grand spoilers obviously –but I mentioned that earlier. Right. Ready? Storyline comes now… that’s storyline –not the revelation of who the scissors licking nun will rampantly level in a slap-happy frenzy of a kitten rodeo, and… oh, blast! How’s that for a spoiler? |
| (The proper, and decidedly straight faced, storyline) |
| In a rural wasteland the clumsy, selfish and anti heroic pratt Anton thwarts by pure chance the robbery of one of the great works of art. Suddenly he is hailed as a hero in
his local community and named Action Anton. Anton enjoys his godlike status for five years of wine and roses. While Anton is living it up, the art thieves Kala-mit and
Fiffus serve hard time and plot how they are going to utterly pulverise Action Anton’s heroic reputation. Five years pass and the thieves are released. The first thing
they do is steal the painting. The mayor and the whole community cry for Action Anton to stop the thieves, but of course, as Anton’s initial heroic deed was one of cretinous
luck, he fails like the flop he is this time and is knocked down by Kala-mit. Action Anton has fallen from grace. Big time. Action Anton longs for his glory days and decides to learn how to be heroic, save the painting, annihilate the heavies and get the girl. Get the girl? (Yes, that what it says: “get the girl”) –And you, my darlings, get to go along with Action Anton on his dubious quest –and shudder in disbelief. |
Action Anton in other media |
| Action Anton gathers some attention |
In making the film we, the makers, had to do some fund raising. Alas to no avail other than a modest sum of money (covered the film stock on the dime) from RE Kommune.
Another and quite unexpected side effect was the media. Here are the media clippings that we know of until now. If you know of others, or want to report a broken link,
