Stop production immediately!


I'm going to go ahead and encourage anybody who knows Ulli Lommel to tell him to stop making this movie immediately. For example, Zodiac Killer was a joke. Ulli needs to realize that people don't appreciate it when someone takes a real story and turns it into poppycock. The end.

I agree that this film production should be stopped immediately but for other reasons. It is in violation of the publicity ban for media of any sort, newspaper, radio, magazine, internet or films, to publish anything about the trial. Wondering where film maker got his information? It would be a shame to have the trial thrown out on a technicality.

I definitely agree with you waabzy and what you said about this trial. It's sad that a poorly made film can turn a trial into a completely unfair trial that has to be postponed and/or relocated.

But, don't worry, Ulli hardly does any research so I can almost guarantee nothing in the movie will be fact-based. That said, it's even more sad that people who make crappy B-grade "horror" films can turn a real life story like this into some kind of mockery.

As said many times before: Shame on you, Ulli.

Since the ban is in Canada, are you sure it is valid in the United States? Most often laws and court orders in one country do not affect another country.

While I am extremely sorry for the victims and their families, movies about crimes, victims and the killers are often the subjects of movies, documentaries, books, etc. There is an audience for this and so they will continue to be made. No one is forcing anyone to watch them, read them, etc. This is no disrepect to you, just a fact. I, myself, love true crime movies. I collect them. I also study murder. I love horror movies. But that does not mean I do not have any sympathy or empathy for the victims or their families (in fact, my mother was murdered, so I do understand). So making posts about how horrible it is that this movie is being made, or trying to start petitions is just not the answer. Just don't see the movie. Since it will probably be straight to videoa, I doubt it will be a problem. In fact, by the time it is available,(and probably not even in Canada), trial may very well be over, since I believe his trial has basically started--trial proceedings anyway, and a jury to be picked in the fall.
it.


Making movies about true stories (including crimes and murders) is done often. Sometimes it is only very loosely based on the true story. This movie may not even appear like the true story, but you can bet that there will be another. And that other tv shows will base an episode on the murders. It is not out of disrespect, but because the public obviously likes

Not to mention that the trial has not even happened yet nor have the confirmed the number of murders.. it could reach more then 40. This guy is sick for making this movie .. espc as a low grade gore film. How disrepectful.

Blah blah. The same thing can be said about any other film based off of a serial killer. No one is forcing you to rent or watch the film. Avoid it if you don't like it. He's obviously making some sort of profit with his films if distributors such as Lion's Gate are still selling his films.

Ah yes, why not pander to the sick, twisted, perverted minds in our society.

There is obviously money to be made, and after all isn't that all that matters?
