Richard LeParmentier Looking For Animators

Posted By Mike on August 19, 2008

From our friend Mark over at Lightsabre:


"Richard LeParmentier, Admiral Motti from A New Hope, has written a fan project that shall hopefully develop into something far more. Over to Richard.



'The concept for the film script came from the fans. I’ve been asked many times by fans, “Did Motti escape the Death Star?”

I started replying that Motti did escape and Vader sent Captain Piett to find me.

The whole project grew out of fans at Q&A’s.

As a great fan of Apocalypse Now I started embellishing the answers and the idea was firmly planted. There is also an important footnote; George Lucas was very involved with Apocalypse, he was going to direct it at one point.

As a fan of Troops and numerous other Star Wars fan films I wrote a draft of the script and showed it to several fellow actors who liked it.

The production values were always going to be high so the project didn’t progress until a serious Star Wars fan offered to back it.

The project didn’t get past pre-production because the backer’s wife had no idea her husband was such a huge fan. When she discovered his vast collection of Star Wars memorabilia, his armor, cancelled checks for numerous conventions and the email offering to put up seven thousand dollars to make Motti Now, she threatened divorce.

He quite rightly pulled out of the film.

He has never attended another convention and his fate remains a mystery...

The option of having the film animated then presented itself. I thought it would be great to have actors from Star Wars do the voices.

Some of the voice tracks and some of the sound effects have now been recorded.

Ken Colley has reprised his role as Captain Piett.

I voiced Motti and Jerome Blake, who does the best Vader impersonation, has recorded Vader.

Garrick Hagon and Jeremy Bulloch are lined up to do Troopers 3 and 4. We plan to add more actors from the films.

If anyone can help with animation contacts or anything else please get in touch with me via the site.

We would like to see Motti Now completed.



Best wishes,



Richard'

As you can see, Richard and Lightsabre are looking out for animators to help develop this project. It's a purely fan based venture, but whoever opts to take this project forward will be animating the voices of the ORIGINAL actors who voiced their characters in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, as well as the men who portrayed Boba Fett, Biggs Darklighter, Mas Amedda and many more.

Please contact us at the Admiral Motti main address - free.trader@virgin.net for more information and visit www.admiralmotti.co.uk for your Conan Antonio Motti fix."





Thanks Mark!
