Ciao amici!
As you probably know, I am working with a group of film-makers on a movie called Faith, Hope and Charity. It is the story of how 3 Gladiators fought their hardest to defend Malta against heavy Italian bombing raids, while waiting for Hurricane reinforcements (I am sure you know the story better than most of us).
We have decided to add some Italian R/T to make the movie more exciting, and this is where we need your help.
First, can somebody check that these phrases would be used in the RA during WW2, and is the grammer correct:
Bomber Pilot
SM79 on a bomb run and gets bounced, pilot shouts in surprise:
Attenzione! Aeroplano Britannico !!! Aeroplano Britannico!!! Avanti! (Attention! British aircraft! British Aircraft! Ahead!)
SM79 is hit and going doing, pilot in a panic:
Gladiator attacco! Attaco!! (Gladiator is attacking. Attacking!)
Fighter Pilot
MC200 is bounced by a fighter, pilot surprised:
Madre del Dio (Mother of God) - or some more appropriate exclamation like ‘Oh My God’, ‘Jesus’, etc. We can accept some profanity, probably ‘vaf****ulo’ is too profane?
MC200 lining up on a Gladiator, cool and calm:
Il dado e lanciato…Tu stai Finito…Arrivederci, mio gladiator Brittannico!! (The die is cast! You are finished! Goodbye, my British Gladiator!)
We have decided not to use subtitles, so we will need the lines to be as simple as possible so that non-Italian speakers will recognise some of the words. They will need to be clearly spoken and full of emotion (I don’t imagine that being a problem :rolleyes: )
Then, once you have corrected our dialogue, we need a good actor. Either one person to do both Bomber and Fighter pilots in a different voice, or two different actors.
So, when the lines are correct, it would be great if a couple of you could send me a recording of both pilots.
This movie is, if I can say so myself, going to be a blockbuster in the virtual movie world. And I am proud to be representing EAF in it. We already have Whiskey doing some lines, and it will be cool to have some of our Italian mates involved too.
Grazie!
