Update #19: Only two days left!
We have less than 44 hours to raise as much money as possible! If you know someone that might be interested in supporting this project, please let them know. This is also your last chance to increase your pledge amount for a different reward. We still have 12 limited edition signed books available! Thanks again for all your support!
Here's another audio clip entitled, "Kubrick Estate." In this clip, Matthew recounts the first time he visited Stanley's home.
Update #18: Memorial Day
I just want to thank all members of the armed forces, past and present, who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
We are proud supporters of the Wounded Warrior Project. On this Memorial Day, consider making a small donation to help the injured service men and women returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. To learn more about the WWP, click on the following links. Thank you.
Update #17: It's official! Pvt. Joker is in The Dark Knight Rises!
Congratulations are in order! Matthew Modine has officially joined the cast of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES! He's playing a character named "Nixon," but all other details are being kept highly confidential.
Update #16: We did it!
We reached our goal the other day! I just want to thank each and every one of you for your support. We couldn't have done it without you! And we still have 15 days left! Please continue to share this project with your network of friends and family. $20,000 was the bare minimum we needed to move forward, but we hope to raise more!
Also, I just received samples of the $40 "postcards" and I have to say, "postcard" is the wrong word. These are beautiful "micro prints" of Stanley Kubrick's director's chair. With a nice matte, they would be perfect for framing!
Thanks,
Adam
