Production Notes "Floods" Permission to shoot the movie in an actual Launch Control Center (Oscar 01 - now a museum) was a challenge... scheduling - was a nightmare. This production involved actors from Oklahoma, production crew and gear from Texas and local interns and grips from Kansas CIty - all converging on a high-security Air Force Base for a VERY fast two-day shoot. EVERY duck was in the row when, two days before shooting, we got a call that a burst water pipe caused the elevator lobby 60 feet underground to flood - knocking out the elevator. They MIGHT get the water out before we arrived, but there would be NO elevator.
"Veterans Approve" Hundreds of current and former Missileers - veterans of the Launch Control Centers - have now viewed the film and have inundated the office with letters of thanks and congratulations. The Executive Director of the Association of Air Force Missileers said it was possibly the most faithful depiction of missile life - and launch crisis sequence - he had seen produced. Some Missileers complained that it was TOO realistic, and came too close to revealing highly classified procedures. Steve McCurdy, the writer of the book from which the material is adapted, assures them that everything was changed "just enough" to satisfy the keepers of homeland security. The film has received OFFICIAL SELECTION status from two prominent film festivals... but more importantly it has received "This was the way it was" status from those who were there during the crisis. We are enormously proud of both... and the book on which it all is based. |
