Coming Soon: Falcon's "Cross Country"
Just got a little teaser about Falcon's BIG production for 2005. It's a sweeping epic that takes place in New Zealand with 23 models, a sailboat and a helicopter! (I told you it was BIG!) Below is a plot summary, and interview with someone behind the scenes, and Q&A with Roman Heart and Benjamin Somebody.
And just for the record, Roman has my "Heart"!
Cross Country, Parts 1 & 2
In Cross Country Part 1 & 2 , Falcon Studios' latest two-part travel epic, two adventure-seekers embark on the journey of a lifetime in search of the ultimate prize: a priceless Maori totem and an unforgettable piece of ass -- all filmed on location in breathtaking New Zealand.
Falcon Lifetime Exclusive Matthew Rush and Falcon Exclusive Erik Rhodes play two best friends who are also the fiercest of competitors. When they arrive in New Zealand after being invited by Falcon Exclusive Roman Heart they have no idea about the danger -- and intense sex -- they're about to encounter along the way.
So focused on winning, they are oblivious to the fact that they're falling into a trap set by Falcon Exclusive Dean Monroe, a ruthless collector who does what it takes to get what he wants.
On their journey they come face-to-face with a sex-crazed cult that worships the flesh, a mysterious Maori guide, and of course some of the most gorgeous men on the planet. And that's just part one ...
COMING OUT SEPTEMBER 21.
This month's Studio Notes will feature a new face at Falcon: John Simms, the new Director of Post-Production and Videography. John might be new at Falcon, but he has been in the industry for over 15 years and is very happy about his newfound place in the Falcon production family. Here he shares some choice tidbits from his Cross Country experience.
What was your primary role on this production?
John: I was the "behind-the-scenes" cameraman, shooting footage for the DVD and documentary on the making of Cross Country . I was there the entire 24 days of the production, filming pretty much every aspect of the journey. The camera was rolling in the mornings, in the evenings, during the sex scenes, when they went to eat or to the gym... It was pretty continuous. I also got some footage of the locals' reactions to seeing this large group of beefy guys...
What did you think of New Zealand?
Benjamin: New Zealand is a beautiful place that I definitely want to visit again. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to visit the Bay of Islands with the rest of the crew. My scene was the last one, and was shot in Auckland. It reminded me a lot of Vancouver, British Columbia.
Roman : It was awesome. The scenery and the atmosphere couldn't have made for a better place to make this movie.
What did NZ think of Falcon? Did you have time to meet any of the local gay guys? If so what did you think of them?
Benjamin: I was only in New Zealand for one scene, so I didn't really find time to meet many of the locals. I spent most of my spare time either in bed or in the bath tub with Roman Heart!
Roman : Most of the time we stayed in a very small town in the Bay of Islands, and the locals there were really nice. Most of the models and crew frequented a local bar. We were there so much that we put on a strip show one night.
If you had free time in NZ what did you do? Where there any gay bars for you to check out?
Benjamin: A bunch of us (Roman, Rod Barry, Chris Steele, and myself stumbled across this little karaoke bar in Auckland and had a good old drunken time. Chris did an amazing job at singing "Crocodile Rock". Roman Heart and Rod Barry rocked the house with "Achy Breaky Heart". And I did a not-so-successful rendition of "Papa Don't Preach".
Roman : I tried to see as much as I could. I had lots of free time because I was there for three weeks. I went to the bars quite a bit and we did karaoke one night, which was fun. I went to the hot springs one other day, and that was pretty awesome.
How did this film differ from other Falcon movies that you've been in?
Benjamin : I've only done one other film with Falcon or anyone else. I think it's title is Driver . It was filmed in San Francisco, and was a great experience. But going to New Zealand was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I've never traveled outside the US except to visit Canada. But since that's only a 20 minute drive for me it doesn't really count! It was exciting to get a passport for the first time.
Roman : This movie was on location, and it was a huge production. With twenty-three models, a sail boat, and helicopter, and all of the location shots, there were no shortcuts that could be taken in making this film.
How does it feel to be a part of Falcon's yearly two-part destination film?
Benjamin : I was flattered to be asked to do this film. I've only done one other movie with Falcon ( Driver ) and to be part of Falcon's two-part destination film is an honor.
Roman : It's great. I think it is usually the biggest production every year, and it's great to be a part of that experience...
