The Devil On Wheels - A New Documentary On Steven Spielberg's Masterpiece, DUEL
THE DEVIL ON WHEELS. A TRIP INTO THE DUEL PHENOMENON - A Feature Documentary In The Works.
The Bearded Trio was contacted by Roger Allen a producer for a new and much anticipated documentary on Steven Spielberg's Duel. Roger along with four other film makers are looking to fly to Los Angeles to find out how a 1971 movie that was made for TV and with no budget has become such a cult movie. They want to pick up the trail where the movie was shot and as they put it, find out the 'what's, who's and whys' of the Duel phenomenon. Here's what the guys have to say about Duel and their planned documentary: We are Duel fans. And we want to put the film in the right place, where it belongs. All other Spielberg’s successes had the whole film industry behind them. Duel did not, but instead it had some driving force with equal or even more significant power; it had the people, it had the film lovers. That’s passion for movies in pure form. Those are the ones behind the everlasting life of Duel. If it’s just a movie-of-the-week, why so many websites about it? Why so many new artworks based on it? Why has it been referenced in so many films, books, comic books and general media? Why did Alfonso Cuaron use it as a reference to make Gravity? If it’s only a small TV film, why does it stay in the minds of everyone that has seen it? Duel has that kind of magic. That’s why we think its phenomenon deserves a film. And we are here to make it happen. Our mission is clear.
Want to be part of the team that will help place the film where it really belongs?
A Kickstarter campaign has started today and the Spielberg fans are looking for your help to get this worthy project on the road (pun intended.) With your support, the protagonist filmmakers will fly to Los Angeles from different countries and for the next few weeks, Roger (from England), Gab and Luca (from Italy), Manuel (from Spain) and Roger Vicente (from China), plus Enric (the Director, Spanish too), will be crossing the USA exploring the Duel phenomenon. We’re planning to do so driving an exact replica of the star vehicles of the film, a Peterbilt 281 truck and a red Plymouth Valiant, remade by fans for the occasion (although that depends on reaching our first stretch goal, more info later), carrying state-of-the art HD cameras. We'll be making a road movie about a road movie.
The film admirers have shown their esteem for DUEL in many ways: they've built websites in honour of the film; they've created new artwork; they've tracked every camera position from beginning to end; they've made an amazing variety of models of the iconic truck and car; they've even built a mobile restaurant which is an almost exact copy of the truck. IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE www.thedevilonwheelsmovie.com. Everything is there to be found! This is a fantastic opportunity for us fans to not only get a quality Duel documentary made by passionate fans, but also an opportunity for you to be part of that passion. You can help out by heading over to their Kickstarter campaign and donating as little as £5 which will get you a thanks in their making of book and you get to watch the trailer before anyone else. Not bad for just £5. They need £60,000 so any donation will be greatly appreciated. Bigger donations will see you getting signed posters, DVDs, books and even a drive in a replica of the truck from the movie! We'll be displaying the Kickstarter widget on our front page for the duration of the campaign. Please get the word out there for the guys and lets spread the word.

New Paper Craft: The Devil on Wheels Papercraft Design for Spielberg Duel Documentary
New Papercraft has been published on PaperCraftSquare: Link: http://www.papercraftsquare.com/devil-wheels-papercraft-design-spielberg-duel-documentary.html Paper Craft Name: The Devil on Wheels Papercraft Design for Spielberg Duel Documentary Description:
Today Duel fans receive an exclusive new reward to choose from in the Kickstarter campaign to fund the Spielberg Duel documentary. Renowned papercraft artist Ronaldo M. has created the paper models of both the Duel truck and car especially for THE DEVIL ON WHEELS supporters on Kickstarter.
MODELS AS BUILT
Created on a 1:32 scale, Ronaldo's work shows amazing attention to detail and design. The Brazilian artist has expressed in his interview for the DOW campaign his long-time admiration for Spielberg's cult film. The truck model alone took 4 months to design and “with only 200 parts it is easy to build”. The complete interview can be watched on Kickstarter.
SAMPLE OF 12 PAGES (+9 PHOTO INSTRUCTIONS)
CROWD FUNDING CAMPAIGN AT FULL SPEED
The feature documentary film project about the cult that surrounds Steven Spielberg's first success, Duel, has started the second half of its crowd funding run on Kickstarter. THE DEVIL ON WHEELS campaign, approved by Universal Studios, has so far released "Derek", the amazing story of the English fan proud owner of a Duel truck, its teaser trailer, shot in four countries, and its first "Skype Interview" update, about the Duel fan who decided to track down every single location of the film.
The crowd funding campaign to fund THE DEVIL ON WHEELS will run for 30 days until April 3rd on an all-or-nothing basis. The project's goal is to achieve a minimum of $92.000 (£60.000) that will allow the film to be shot this summer in the US. The project has been awarded as a Staff Pick by Kickstarter. In exchange of financial support the production company offers backers a wide variety of rewards: copies of the film, books, new posters, film credits and even an appearance in the actual film.
AN UNDYING CULT
In Duel, a Movie-Of-The-Week shot in 1971, a terrifying truck, whose driver we never see, for no apparent reason chases a lone driver along the desert roads of Southern California. Such was its success, that the TV film was extended and distributed as a film worldwide.
How come this tiny film, made cheaply and quickly for TV, has generated such a passionate, international and undying cult is the question the documentary wants to answer. THE DEVIL ON WHEELS will find out what makes Duel so unique and in doing so, will explore the power and fascination of films on people.
INTERNATIONAL DIE HARD FANS
Duel fans from all over the world regularly visit the film locations in the desert next to Los Angeles. They go to see the surviving truck in North Carolina. Would-be filmmakers analyse the way it was made. Steven Spielberg’s first known work has become a top cinematic reference. Director Alfonso Cuaron revealed he used Duel as a source when he made “Gravity”.
The title of the documentary, THE DEVIL ON WHEELS, is the straight translation of the Spanish title of Duel, and it's been chosen as an homage to the international recognition of the film.
A CROSSROADS FOR DUEL LOVERS
THE DEVIL ON WHEELS crew who come from Italy, China, Spain and England, are scheduled to tour the United States exploring the Duel phenomenon: they will interview the surviving members of the Duel crew, reconstruct the way the film was made, and meet with fans and experts to discuss the ongoing appreciation of the film.
The filmmakers have created a website, www.thedevilonwheelsmovie.com, which for the first time gathers in one place all Duel related information to be found on the internet. The Facebook page www.facebook.com/thedevilonwheels serves as a meeting point for the fans.
Director Enric Folch, a multi-award winning TV director in Spain, returns to documentary making after the excellent international reception of Chining Me, an ironical view on pre-Olympic China. His most successful TV film, Tempus Fugit, will soon have a theatrical remake through an international coproduction.
