Is that before or after you see the movie that their money produced...?

Both.

A wise decision...i am thinking that the SECOND kick will be the strongest!

If anyone here funds this please PM me your address so I can come over and kick you in the nuts.

I'm going to give them 100 bucks. I could use the visit.

See you soon!

Possibly. The big difference between Indiegogo and Kickstarter is that if you don't meet the goal on Indiegogo, you keep something like 85% of the money that was donated. Whereas if you don't meet the goal on Kickstarter you get nothing.

Not true...I was just reading about how Indiegogo works. They have two ways to run a campaign, flexible or fixed. If it's flexible you keep the cash & pay a 9% fee to Indiegogo, if it's fixed and you fail to hit the top, you keep nothing & are charged nothing. Arrow's is fixed, Argento's is flexible meaning he & iggy will take your cash & laugh all the way to the bank :) Beware the Sandman fundraiser!

Lol...Why would anyone donate on indiegogo then????

Because people have more money than brains.

The indegogo campaign is only looking to raise $250,000. A fair whack of change for sure but not in movie terms. Is the rest of the money in place? Is this seed money to go after financiers? Or is Argento going super guerilla? I don't think a man of his years should be making a flick for $250k.

For a moment, I was under the impression this was an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics. The idea of Iggy playing Morpheus would be intriguing.

I'm not gonna put a downer on Argento, So what if his films aren't what they were, neither were Romero's or Carpenter's. I'm a Jess Franco fan and hell, even whilst he was making some great films, he was also reeling out some shite, and even more so in the last 20 years before he passed on, so I don't blame Argento for trying. Personally I am always going to give Argento's films a chance. If they suck, then so what, its not tarnished the films he made in the 70's and 80's. The only thing that I don't entirely agree with is the crowdfunding, but If that's the only way he can get it financed then so be it. Biggest issue with that, is of course if his "fans" are paying for it, then of course its destined to fail because they will feel like its their film and It wont be Suspiria or Tenebrae and they will feel cheated. Give the man some slack though, you don't have to watch it, or buy the damn thing, and this isn't aimed at anybody, just my personal view on the subject.

So, Argento is making another film that's a tribute to himself? Like Non Ho Sonno? Yeah, I'll pass. Argento has made the same film too many times now.

He tried to do POE before many years ago...didn't turn out too well IMHO (though WAS better than Romro's half!)
