pitfighter Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 (edited) Hi Guys, It's a small movie, but a script that I was quite passionate about. If you get a chance take a look at the trailer, it comes to VOD on the 16th Dec. THIEVES HIGHWAY. The M1 has been discussed on this forum, it was a destroyed French dewat M1 (not M1A1.) Restored - to a degree. It has worked on a lot of movies now, possibly one of my favorite movie guns. LIMITED THEATRICAL RELEASE: December 12, 2025 VOD RELEASE: December 16, 2025 YOUTUBE TRAILER LINK: https://youtu.be/3cJSS8I7hz8 *I know its not a gun post per se, but it's Thomspon related and one your members here, so apologies for posting if it offends.

pitfighter Posted December 3 Author Report Share Posted December 3 P51 - it gets more time in the actual movie - I also feature the velvet lined case that I bought here in the opening scene. It ran well, we're using full power blanks which leave a lot of crud, I had a specialist for the days the thompson worked, as it does require a lot of cleaning when you shoot a lot of blanks, and we did. I am glad I budgeted for this as it was extremely humid where we were shooting in GA and that just makes things worse. It's not an action movie per se, I hope it brings a little light to the plight of the small rancher, but I dont know. Hope you guys enjoy it if you take the time to watch it. Dec 16 it comes to VOD. *Full auto 45 - message me if you'd like more info. I know most of you are awesome cats, and it's less about anonimity and more about not everyone scrolling on these pages being out for our best interests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hammer Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 Aaron is always good, you were lucky to cast him. I see that Lochlyn Munroe is in there too. I just did a couple of scenes with him last week in a film shot here in Louisiana, what are the odds. The next time you are casting a film, drop me a line, I can bring my own Thompson! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewat, looks great on film. Very neat trailer, thanks for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitfighter Posted December 5 Author Report Share Posted December 5 Yes - it is the "blank only" barrel from Howell Arms, it's actually three tiny barrels all sort of together, and then a regular screw in set-screw style BFA. It's a thumper and because of the inherent weight I think it is safer with actors, but there's obviously a lot of unburned and burned powder that comes back into the action - that along with the humidity meant cleaning between every scene, to freshen up. I enjoy using it on film, but I dont have to clean it, that is the assigned armorers task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
