The world’s best bungee jumper will jump out of a helicopter or hot air balloon in Antarctica in a vibrant orange suit with red smoke trailing from his heels 2000 feet above the ground. When he extends to the full length of his cable, he will detach and step off onto the ground…. he will tear off his orange suit and he will be in a full tuxedo…. The camera that captures his landing rotates 90 to reveal a million emperor penguins with him in the foreground (which we did not allude to until the glory shot)…. Note… Penguins are in.
World-class pilot/skydiver – Troy Hartman and crew will fly one plane…. a person will jump out of that plane wearing shorts, and no shirt… no parachute…. free fall and a second plane flown by Troy will go into a straight vertical dive plummeting towards earth and the skydiver without the parachute will crawl into the plane that is free-falling…. and they will do this over Victoria Falls in Africa…..
The Cape Pillar Chasm is located in the Tasman National Park, southeast of Tasmania, where incredible sheer cliffs are up to 300m high and fluted like organ pipes. The Skyliners will combine Highline, a rope swing, and a base jump. They will start walking on a Highline, then rope-jump from the middle, and cut away to base jump, to finally land perfectly on a targeted spot on the deck of a boat in the water.
Angel Falls, Venezuela – Dean is happiest to be handcuffed, bound in chains and locks, wrapped in a straight jacket, and restrained in any other possible way that a person may dream up. Then he is hung upside down over Hoover Dam, or over an alligator pit, thrown from a plane, trapped in a car that will be crushed in a junkyard, buried alive in cement, attached to a rollercoaster track with the car headed straight at him, frozen in ice and countless other perils. We will bind Dean in his usual constraints and hang him upside down in the gap between the falls and the rock pillar… then light the rope that holds him from falling on fire. Dean will escape and parachute to safety. This stunt could possibly be a live event.
Himalayas, India – Dave Barlia will lead a team to climb the highest peak of the Himalayas in that region and then base jump with a wingsuit to set the record for the longest wingsuit flight. We may also opt to take Dave up in an airplane to 40,000 feet and let him jump from the plane at this extreme altitude and set three world records. Either way, we will probably use the majestic Himalayas as the riveting backdrop to this monumental undertaking.
Imagine a journey that will take you over 500 years back in time to The Renaissance, and once you are there, allow you inside the deep, dark, brilliant mind of, arguably, the greatest genius of all time – the story of Leonardo da Vinci.
da Vinci was blessed, and cursed, with a mind that envisioned worlds and machines so advanced, they required technology that would not be invented for four hundred years. A mind that knew no boundaries in its relentless pursuit of knowledge and defied all that was considered sacred in its quest for the truth. A mind whose visionary genius was compelled to defy the physical forces of nature in order to redefine man’s role within it. A visionary master who was condemned by his peers for being heretical and extremist, and yet succeeded against all odds.
da Vinci: Anatomy of Genius, Executive Produced by Brian Weiner from IllusionQuest Studios, is a breathtaking IMAX film telling the story of one man’s genius that, despite his death so long ago, continues to unfold and rewrite itself today as the tapestry of history unravels new insights and brings new meaning to the way we view the past, review the present, and the way we anticipate the future.
CLIFFORD AND STANLEY, a new theatrical film, Executive Produced by Brian Weiner from Illusion Quest Studios and Stephanie Garvin from ETM Pictures is a large-scale, special effects comedy in the vein of MEN IN BLACK and BRUCE ALMIGHTY. Set in Los Angeles and Washington D.C., this moralistic tale of two intelligent life forms who come to earth to determine whether mankind is at its essence good or evil is reminiscent of the best works of Frank Capra. The film is timely in its exploration of the lack of restraint of weapons in schools. CLIFFORD AND STANLEY is a humorous and moralistic examination of the forces of society and the choices humans make in larger-than-life circumstances.
This film offers incredible ancillary opportunities through sequels, theme park rides, cartoon series, comic books, interactive games, and a host of toys and other marketable commodities to be fully utilized within the Sizzle platform and within the SizzleVerse. The positive perspective of the film, cleverly written by Chris Harlan, Brian Weiner, and Corinne Frederick, will attract major corporate promotional partners to tie in many ancillary marketing opportunities.
Executive Producers Brian Weiner of IllusionQuest Studios and Stephanie Garvin of ETM Pictures are proud to present a theatrical film using a visually stunning graphic novel approach to one of the greatest stories of all time. In the same manner that Joel Cohen created the highly stylized Tragedy of Macbeth and Baz Luhrmann breathed new life into Romeo + Juliet, Brian Weiner and Corrine Frederick have transformed Othello into a futuristic action/adventure film that Philip K. Dick might have envisioned.
In this world, relationships between human and androids are forbidden. Yet Othello, the greatest android warrior of his era, returns from successful battle to claim Desdemona, the daughter of Brabantio, the scientist/inventor who created him, as Othello’s rightful bride.
Set in the dark, post-viral society of 2067, Descent is a visually arresting cinematic attraction that reflects a similar art direction sensibility to films like 300, Sin City, The Matrix, Total Recall, Bladerunner and Bladerunner 2049.
