I really wouldn't mind just watching the test footage. Don should post it on Phantasm.com and charge per download. Bada-Bing, instant financing.

I feel confident about being able to at least break even on investing in this.
The movie has a legendary following.
I dont think he needs over $4,000,000 for Phantasm V
Man Phantasm I turned a great profit considering the $300,000 budget.

I don't think he even needs 4 Mil personally. Don is a master of making quality films with very small budgets.

He needs 1M. He has said that it would be easy to shoot.

hheh well i think its more complicated than that... 1st I would need them to want to work with me 2ndly, the contract would have to ensure I get my money back first I feel pretty confident on a break even.

I feel pretty confident on a break even. With DVD sales, it's almost a sure bet.

I completely & totally agree! I would so be willing to contribute to see this movie made. If every fan gave a buck, the movie would be financed, no problem. Of course in the real world not everyone is wiling. We need to start acting on making this film happen. None of us are getting any younger and at least we still have original actors that are willing to do the movie.
Seriously, does anyone have ideas on how to make this a reality? Of course there needs to be someone with some kind of connections for publicity. All the logistics would have to be worked out, but I'm sure that there is someone out there that could get this going or would at least have some idea. How about a callout to everyone willing to contribute, through movie magazines, websites, newsletters, etc.... There has to be ways of getting the idea to everyone who loves this film as much as we do. There are lots of forums to post information that do not cost anything to do so. This one is a good example. But we need to reach more than those that even realize this exists. Maybe I'm just dreaming, but I really think that with the right contacts, logistics and getting the callout to real Phantasm fans (enough of them), we could make the film a reality.
Have Don Coscarelli setup a PayPal account so that fans like us could send money to a legitimate account and not some scam. If it turned out that the movie still couldn't be made, the transactions could be reversed to the fans. PayPal would have all the information necessary to securely handle the transactions. Just one example of a way to do it. I'm sure there are many ways of doing, but bottom line is....... it may be up to the fans to make it happen since these white collared, tunnelvisioned, people don't seem to want to help.
Think about it...... how many movies were funded by individuals instead of some corporation? Has anyone seen the movie " Gone In 60 Seconds"? No.... the original. Completely funded by the man himself. Then later turned into a blockbuster movie years later...... hmmmmmmm..............

As the former proprietor of Phantasm5.com, take it from me... nothing phans could possibly do will make this movie happen any faster. I've spent a lot of time and energy looking into this and asking every contact I have.
I know that this concept has seriously been investigated by a couple people... the idea of an investment group that fans would buy into, something officially registered with the SEC by an investment lawyer. The fans would've entered into this as silent partners... but of course, it turned out to not be feasible in the least bit.
As a fellow fan, though, I do appreciate your enthusiasm to try and make the project move forward.
