Polish Brothers try new production model
You may not of heard of the filmmaking Polish brothers, but you might have caught some of their memorable films including 'Twins Falls Idaho', or 'Jackpot', 'The Astonaut Farmer' or 'Norfolk'.
The NEW YORK TIMES reports on their newest productions are taking a different approach, the twin brothers are currently making a feature called 'Manure' but as soon as it fininshes they will use the same crew to immediately shoot their next film 'Stay Cool'.
It's not an unheard of move, 'Back to the Future' II and III were shot together, and so was the epic 'Lord of the Rings'. When making 'Castaway' the same crew was used to film 'What Lies Beneath' while Tom Hanks lost weight for the second act of the film. Barry Levinson shot 'Wag thew Dog' while also shooting 'Sphere' with a cross over over actors between the two.
It's interesting however to see this is as a production model for films that do not have such extravengant budgets as the Hollywood fare it has usually applied too. The obvious questions is, how long before an aerlier career Directing and Producting team put this model to work?
