Spartan117gw Is Raising Funds For Another Jurassic Park Fan Film

OptimusPrime

Three years ago, Gregory Wong, more known as Spartan117gw in the airsoft community, put together the "Jurassic World: Asset Containment Unit" which was his first fan film based on one of his favourite movie flicks, the Jurassic Park movie franchise. In our interview with him, he said that he plans on making more fan films in the future, including those that have a big following in the airsoft community.

With the release of “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”, he is now working hard to raise funds for his next Jurassic Park fan film project. He has set his sights on filming on the Hawaiian islands. At his GoFundMe Page, he mentions that he, “a group of veterans and movie car goers are shooting a fan film on the island of Hawaii.”  He adds that, “Think 13 Hours meets Jurassic Park.”

With that hint, we think of this movie as perhaps Spartan117gw leading another group from the Asset Containment Unit but will be defending themselves whilst under siege, surrounded by Jurassic predators.

The project is bigger this time, and some names that are familiar in both tactical and airsoft communities, Travis Haley of Haley Strategic Partners and Garand Thumb, will be participating in this project. Haley will be sending kit from his company to be used in the film as well as show up on location for principal photography. Garand Thumb will play an important role in the project with his survival skills. The Jurassic Park Motor pool will be lending their vehicles as well to support the project.

Do you want to help the project? So far Spartan117gw has already raised over US$2,000 which just about near the halfway point of his target amount of US$5,000 to start filming location. As he writes on his GoFundMe Page, Spartan117gw lays out how the funds will be used, “Most of the funds go directly to locations, props, and especially VFX for the dinosaurs. We have an amazing team of VFX guys that can make dinos that look as good as what is seen in the movies but we need your help to make that happen!”

His last update was that they have finished some initial filming in Arizona. Now, if he can meet his funding goals, then they can proceed to shooting in Hawaii. Better help him make it happen.
