Pic from movie I am working on: "Death and Compromise". I am a member of the cast/crew: prop master and assistant armorer. Being filmed at the old John Wayne Alamo set at "Alamo Village", near Brackettville, Boerne, and Lexington, Texas.

Keep those fellers in line Elhombre!!!!!

That looks good I'll be planning on seeing that movie.

 

[Oohrah!]

Glad to see the Bracketville set is still there. Was there about fifteen years ago. Very cool Western town.

Neat photo! Sounds like you're a regular one man army in terms of all the duties you're performing. Hope the filming goes well.

That picture is pretty sweet. I'm assuming HD video with high frame rate (slow motion type) just to get the right point in time? I'm jealous by the way...I was supposed to be really close to that area in a previous job. Had contracts fall out from under us in the Great Recession of 2008. I'm still bummed that I didn't get to see it. Was looking at another contract at the same time less than a mile from the site M*A*S*H was filmed at.

Glad someone is using Alamo Village, last I heard Happy's son had the place for sale.

John Wayne's epic 1960 Alamo movie cost him literally a fortune and due to less than stellar box office returns he was paying off debts from it for years. He took almost anything offered to him for money afterwards. His cameo appearances in "The Longest Day" and "How The West Was Won" are a couple of examples. I suppose he could have declared bankruptcy but that was not his way of handling financial difficulties.

Not to get too far off track but yes, John Wayne took a beating both financially and physically while making this movie. It definitely took a toll on him. Besides some cameo roles in a few films he managed to secure some financial security by signing a six picture deal with Paramount. One of my favorite John Wayne westerns, "El Dorado" with Robert Mitchum and James Caan, was made during this time.

That is a cool picture.

I liked "El Dorado" but loved the previous movie Rio Bravo with Dean Martin and Angie Dickinson. Also loved the last fight better with the dynamite shooting while Walter Brennan threw them at the warehouse. But the best line in El Dorado was from Arthur Hunnicutt, (Bull) said, "Well I'll be a suck egg mule."

True enough about "Rio Bravo" but I think Robert Mitchum was a more convincing drunk in "El Dorado" (though from I have read he was on his best behavior while making this movie).

Getting back to the OP and the new movie; I hope elhombre can post some more photos of the guns and equipment their using on the set.

 

[Crawdad1]

Definitely!!! Without a doubt Robert Mitchum was one of the best actors in Hollywood.

As a note during the filming of Revenant with DiCaprio, the director wanted to saw the barrel of his long rifle in half because as he explained, "They did it back then because it made them more accurate."

The builder of that rifle said, "No (expletive) way."

Keep as sharp eye on them Elhombre, those Hollywood types are always up to something.
