I've been posting updates to this COMMENTS section all year, but I'll be posting specific details in the coming weeks! We're in the home stretch! Thanks everyone!
Creator Oskar Lissheim-Boethius on April 27, 2012
Perhaps adding an update again wouldn't be a good idea... Last was in June 2011.
Creator Adam Rackoff on April 10, 2012
Yes. The iPad app is scheduled for release this summer to coincide with the film's 25th anniversary. We're in the home stretch! Stay tuned.
Creator Case Larsen on April 10, 2012
Was there an iPad app to be produced too?
Creator Adam Rackoff on March 6, 2012
Kevin - I'm sorry for any confusion. We have fulfilled all of the rewards except for the digital download of the audio file. We are still working on this. We actually just re-recorded Matthew reading over an hour of the book last week that now needs to be edited into the final audio file. I promise we will post an update with a link to download the audio file as soon as it's done. Thank you for your patience and support!
Creator Kevin T. Stein on March 6, 2012
I'm totally confused. Is the project over and has been sent out, or isn't it? I have received nothing.
Creator Adam Rackoff on February 17, 2012
William - I can understand your frustration. We're working as fast as we can. We unfortunately lost our main sound person earlier this year and have been scrambling to pick up the pieces and keep things moving without him. All I can say is that I'm sorry. Creative and technical projects take time and sometimes hit snags, but I'm very proud of the team we have working on this project.
Creator William Blevins on February 17, 2012
Seriously, how about a little information? This is by far the sketchiest project I have ever backed on Kickstarter. I think R. Lee Ermey needs to be brought into the editing bay to light a fire under your butts.
Creator Adam Rackoff on January 4, 2012
Hi, William - I was just about to post an update about this. We're still working on the audio. It's taking much longer than I expected. The audio for chapter two alone is nearly 2 hours long. We finished recording Matthew and are about two thirds done with the very slow process of editing the dialogue. When we're done editing, we may need to go back and re-record a few lines. I apologize for the delay. We'll be posting the audio file to download as soon as it's finished. Thanks for your patience and support! - Adam
Creator William Blevins on January 4, 2012
Any word on the digital download? Your July 7 message said later in 2011 but I receive no such notification.
Creator Adam Rackoff on July 16, 2011
I'm glad you like your reward! Thanks again for your support!
We're hoping to complete the app in time for Christmas, but several factors could force us to release early next year - just in time for the 25th anniversary of Full Metal Jacket's theatrical release!
Creator Nick Bartlett on July 16, 2011
My 4" x 6" photo and postcard arrived today, lovely little reward, thank you
Do we have a timescale on when the app might launch?
Creator Adam Rackoff on July 13, 2011
Great! I've shipped out most of the rewards. The rest will be going out early next week. I hope you enjoy them!
Creator Perry Chen on July 13, 2011
print received!
Creator Bill Bessette on June 12, 2011
Looking forward to receiving the print...I have a spot picked out for it in our media room. :)
Creator Adam Rackoff on June 7, 2011
Hi, Brandon,
The postcards, prints, cover proofs, and books will be shipped within 4 to 6 weeks. The digital download of the audio will be available later this year. You'll be receiving an email shortly with more info.
Thanks!
Adam
Creator Brandon Hebert on June 6, 2011
When will the pledge gifts be mailed out?
Creator Adam Rackoff on June 2, 2011
Hi - I'll make sure you and the other 10 backers that pledged $400 get a great print of a cast member (or cast members) from the film. If you look at Update #2, you can see a few examples of these. Feel free to email me personally at info@fullmetaljacketdiary.com to discuss further. Thanks!
Creator jPad on June 2, 2011
With the limited number of people pledging at the $400 level, is there any chance of having some say of what photo we receive? This has always been a concern for me and I'm still vacillating over con tinuing that pledge amount.

Creator Adam Rackoff on May 19, 2011
It's true!
Creator matthew m on May 17, 2011
on your update page you say there's a rumor going around that Modine's in Chris Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT RISES!? The details of Modine’s role are being kept highly confidential. is this true?
Creator matthew m on May 6, 2011
saw this great article about the app in filmmaker magazine! great stuff. http://www.filmmakermagazine.com/news/2011/05/the-madness-of-full-metal-jacket/
Creator Nick Bartlett on May 3, 2011
When i logged onto the Net tonight, i never imagined i'd end up doing something like this, but i'm very happy to back this project and hope that it all comes to fruition
Creator Bill Bessette on April 30, 2011
Hey Adam - happy to support a great project like this. Fun watching the pledge total grow by leaps and bounds.
Creator Adam Rackoff on April 30, 2011
Hi, Bill - Thanks for your support of our decision to develop for the iPad first. I agree with you. Hopefully the Android devices will mature by the time we release this app. I wish we could give EVERY backer a free promo code, but we really need to reserve those 50 codes for members of the media. It's a big part of our publicity strategy. Thanks again for supporting this project! I really do appreciate it.
Creator Bill Bessette on April 30, 2011
Also, offering a free copy of the APP for a pledge is QUITE possible. Developers can generate 50 promo codes per rev they release to the app store. Often these are given out to media types for review purposes, but they can be used however the developer wishes. They are good internationally as well.
Creator Bill Bessette on April 30, 2011
I for one strongly support the decision to develop for the iPad. The Android devices currently in this segment have a lot of catching up to do before they can be considered competitive in any way.

Barry Stone - Matthew sends his thanks! He remembers working with you on "Hollywood North."
Creator Adam Rackoff on April 28, 2011
Hi, Clinton - Thanks for your comment. If the iPad app is successful, we would love to develop a version for Android devices. We decided to start with the iPad as it's currently the fastest growing product in this space. Even if you don't own an iPad, you can still pledge $25 to download the complete "audiobook" MP3 file when it's complete. This, of course, can be enjoyed on any device that plays MP3s. I hope this helps!
Creator Adam Rackoff on April 28, 2011
Thanks, Chester. We looked into offering the app as a free reward. Unfortunately this isn't possible through the iTunes App Store. Instead, Matthew has donated a number of rare and personal items to thank backers for their support. I'll be posting lots of fun updates (more audio clips, new photos, and other cool stuff), so keep checking our page!
Creator Chester Dent on April 27, 2011
Beautiful project, Adam. If you offered the chance to pay in advance for the app itself we would back you in a heartbeat.
Creator Clinton Alvord on April 27, 2011
While I dig this idea, I feel that limiting its scope to iPads is keeping me out of the game. Just as it would make no sense to exclude the iPad, it seems as odd to exclude at least Android. I do, however, wish you much success with the project. You seem well on the way to getting to your goal!

We have to start somewhere! The iPad is the fastest growing tablet computer. If the iPad app is successful, we would love to develop versions for other devices. Thanks for your interest!

Why is this limited to IPads?

Thanks so much for your interest in the project! Answers to all your questions can be found in the Project FAQ section. Click on the "Have a question about this project?" link just below the green "BACK THIS PROJECT" box on the right hand column. If you have additional questions, please feel free to ask me directly by clicking the grey "ASK A QUESTION" button just below the Project FAQs. I hope this helps!
Creator Molli B. on April 22, 2011
I feel a little dumb asking this, but ah well. I'm looking for a reward that includes the iPad app itself, but I don't see one or any mention of it anywhere. I can't imagine it's going to be free in the App Store, but also hopefully not so expensive that including it as a reward would be prohibitive. I'd love to back this, but I'd really like to receive the app in exchange. Did I miss something?
