New Zulu film documentary - participants required now.

ZuluFilmStore are making a documentary about the film we all love, and we’d like you to take part - to participate simply film yourself taking about the film Zulu - what it means to you, when you first saw it, why you love it - what are your favourite scenes, favourite lines etc - anything relevant. You can be solo or in groups, as long as you talk about the movie. Please film your contribution on the highest resolution possible, and email it to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to be possibly included in the final version. If you want to post your tape or memory card, email me for a postal address.

All submissions are to be received by the 30th November 2013, and the film will premiere on the 22nd January 2014.

All participants will get a copy of the final video.

Good luck.

Sounds like a great idea!!!! Thanks for posting ZuluFilmStore  

How long should the video be ?

When I read the first words in the post title, I thought for a moment that at long last there was to be a long overdue remake of the 1964 film, and that it was about time that this almost fictional film was remade. I had visions of the 'real' name of the regiment (and its mainly Englishmen), at long last getting the justice and recognition that they and the 24th (2nd Warwickshire) regiment so rightly deserve. However, it's just a doco about the almost fictional film, so that will mean that the myth that the regiment and the men were Welsh will live on until someone decides to 'right the wrong' and do a remake and give the people the 'true facts' and the 'real' name of the regiment and its mainly Englishmen who heroically fought at RD. Never mind, hopefully one day soon someone will decide to remake the film and the overdue truth will at long last come out, and Baker's Welsh myth will be busted for good (the sooner the better).

Mr M.Cooper, that is just so well said,
less than 14% Welsh in any permutation.
i agree with all you said.
cheers xhosa2000

Martin. Get yourself on video putting it right!

xhosa2000.

Thanks for that my friend, much appreciated.

I think that the proper recognition for the 24th (2nd Warwickshire) regiment (and its mainly Englishmen), is long overdue. Generations of the general public have watched this film since 1964, and many of them believe that all that they see on the silver screen are the 'true facts', and that the regiment was a Welsh regiment called the swb, they don't realise that it was all part of Baker's way of 'having a go at the English' because he had a big chip on his shoulder against the English. The film was made in such a way to give the impression that it was an 'all Welsh affair', when in actual fact, nothing could be further from the truth, however, those not in the know (the gullible public), still swallow this Welsh myth and believe it to be fact, and when I read the first few lines of the post title I thought 'Great, at long last, a remake of the almost fictional 1964 film', and had visions of a wrong finally being righted, and the public at long last being given the true facts, however, after I read a little further, I realised that it was just a doco about the film.

Glad you agree xhosa2000, let's hope that there will be a remake very soon, and put to bed Baker's Welsh myth for good.

 


impi.

There are far too many mistakes and so much falseness in the film, it would take me an age to compile a video putting it all right, and the vid's have to be in for November, so there is no chance. Anyway, I don't suppose they would consider including my truthful opinions regarding the 1964 film that 'we are all supposed to love', I wonder why they think that we 'all' love it

Martin, the defenders of RD were British ... Neither Welsh nor English ...

And some colonials  

Yes but British colonials  

Ok - so I'm not remaking Zulu - I'm still looking for willing particpants to film themselves talking about the original 1963 film and what you love about it, what indeed you hate about it, favourite lines, portrayals, when and where you first saw it etc etc. You can talk for as long as you like - average submission so far is around 3 minutes. I've extended the deadline - please send me your footage via [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] using email address [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]  I want to make a really great Zulu fans film for the 50th anniversary year, for all to see. Thanks.

There is a French film with English, South African and American actors, just out, the title is zulu ... 

Pascal,

That's a cops and robbers film with Orlando Bloom set in Cape Town, in my opinion the premise of the film does little enhance the reputation of the amaZulu, or that of the I.F.P.

John Y.

Yes John  

IFP is what?

Pascal,

The Inkatha Freedom Party.
