IN LIKE FLYNN BEGINS!!!

04 May

PER THE IMBd: This biopic depicts Errol’s roust-about early life in Australia, before he became an internationally famed celebrity. In those days he was an adventurer, opium smuggler, gambler, street fighter, womanizer, and gold prospector. The film, based on Flynn’s early autobiography “Beam Ends,” was written for the screen by Luke Flynn, who found the inspiration as a result of travels through Australia in the footsteps of Luke’s iconic grandfather.

__________

Characters beyond Errol’s days of Beam Ends have been previously mentioned also, including Olivia De Havilland and Michael Curtiz. See, for example this previous IMBd cast of characters:

And a possible “former wife” featured in this new article:

Awesome! I’m so glad that Luke is finally seeing his dream of doing this come true! Luke’s focus is not just pipe dreams but he is really moving in the right direction.
As for livie’s part I see no cigar but it’s going to be tough for those of us that are very close to the real. Oh well I’ll get over it and enjoy the completed production once it’s done. To be honest to all, I love the real life of Errol, especially the early years.

Oh well , I’ll get over it Tim. In the photo of Ashlee in the flowers I can see the eyes do make a casting plus. I just have such a memory of Livie over so many years. The early years are embedded in my boyhood mind forever!

Flynntastic news! But the real scoop here is the director- Russell Mulcahy, whose visual approach provides epic pictures. www.youtube.com…

I wonder why Sean (Rio) Flynn was not considered for the role? He would have been a good choice as young Errol.

I wonder even more why Luke didn`t take over the role of his granddad. I hope he didn´t have to sell off his stake for a mere mentioning to see the film happen…maybe Rory knows more.

When I first heard about the film I immediately thought that Luke must be sinking a lot of money in this film, and I hope it doesn’t turn out like William Tell did for Errol.

As for Rory, she didn’t know about the film until I wrote her and mentioned the film.

The film The Last Of Robin Hood lost a ton of money, and didn’t see very wide distribution. Considering that the guys who made TLORH did an amazing job of keeping the costs down while maintaining very high standards for the film, they deserved better. I’m not sure they’re out of the red yet.

In any case, when Luke’s film comes out I will see it, even if I have to fly to the theater in Tasmania.to see it.

Yep, but only from afaraway, Draisine Tim. Bloody Errol looks like he’s been hit by a freight train, but laughs at the prospective of being nursed by Girl Scarlett.
