THE DOCUMENTARY:THE REAL STORY OF ROAR Through close consideration of the astounding original archive and critically candid conversations with the surviving members of the cast and crew, this one-off documentary will seek to reveal the real story behind ‘ ROAR ’ . It will pick over the disaster plagued production process and examine the ravaged relationships of the individuals involved, in an attempt to understand the misplaced motivations of this foolhardy filmmaking family, who very nearly let their love of big cats tear them apart. The finished film of ‘ ROAR ’ is at times funny, often shocking and gloriously chaotic, unsurprising when you consider that every big cat featured alongside the (often terrified looking) actors is a living, breathing, biting, roaring reality. An astounding fact when viewed through the eyes of 21st century audiences, who’ve become so used to the simulated snarling of contemporary CGI beasts. It also makes it entirely unsurprising that 70 members of the cast and crew were injured during the making of the film : with seven major incidents, two almost fatal accidents, and countless scrapes and near-misses. Noel Marshall suffered gangrene and multiple puncture wounds, Tippi Hedren had her leg broken after being bucked by an elephant, Melanie needed facial reconstruction surgery after a swipe from a lion’s claws narrowly missed her eye, while cinematographer and future ‘Speed’ director Jan De Bont was scalped, requiring over 200 stitches (see picture). In total ‘ ROAR ’ reportedly cost $17million to make – largely funded by Noel and the surprise success of ‘The Exorcist’. However when it was eventually released in cinemas in 1981 this big cat B-movie barely made $2million at the US box office. Unsurprisingly both professional and personal relationships were frayed by the end, with Tippi and Noel filing for divorce soon after the film’s release. Most of those involved in the making of the movie have since expressed regret - verging on disbelief - that any of it happened at all. Although Noel Marshall died in 2010, his son John has since hinted at the familial tensions during filming: “ Dad was a f–king a–hole to do that to his family .” Melanie has rarely spoken of her experiences of making the film, while Tippi – in a surprising twist – went on to continue to live with lions. An avid animal rights campaigner, in 1983 she founded the ‘Shambala Preserve’ at her home just outside L.A, which not only provided a sanctuary for the retired cast of ‘ ROAR ’, but also for countless other rescued endangered wild animals. Now 86, Tippi continues to live and work at the preserve, lobbying for changes in the law regarding the breeding and trading of exotic wildlife, as well as avidly urging fellow fans of big cats not to follow in her families footsteps: ‘ Some people will tell you lions are wonderful pets - and it’s an absolute lie. ’ 5 Copyright © Marble Films 2019 [email protected] Contact - Sacha Mirzoeff THE DOCUMENTARY:THE REAL STORY OF ROAR For the first time ever this revealing documentary will seek to understand what drove one family to go from the tinsel-town eccentricity of living with one (relatively) domesticated lion, to pursuing the downright absurd and overtly dangerous dream of making a live- action movie directed and starring themselves and over a hundred big cats. The real story of ‘ ROAR ’ has never been fully revealed and yet, beneath the broken bones and multiple puncture wounds, there is a tale to be told which so many of us can relate to. At its heart, this is a story about our human love of animals and the lengths we will go to prove that they are like us, that they can understand us, and that they can love us back. The mistake that the makers of this madcap, misadventure of a movie made was to think that they could ever truly tame a wild creature; they believed that they were safe, that they were in control, even when dozens of lions, tigers, panthers and leopards were rampaging around their home. ‘ THE MOVIE THAT MAULED MY FAMILY ’ will be an entertaining and enlightening examination of the human-animal relationship like you have never seen before. Told by the people who were there and brought to life by astounding archive; this documentary will be a sensational yet sensitive reflection on the lessons that can be learnt from the making of ‘ We were dealing ROAR ’: the most dangerous movie ever made. with animals that we psychopaths. They have no conscience or remorse genes, and they will kill you for their dinner.

    THE ROAR PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Emma Clayton | 384 pages | 04 Sep 2014 | Chicken House Ltd | 9781910002032 | English | Somerset, United Kingdom Daytona reveals later Roar Before the Rolex 24 date The story barely makes sense if you think about it very long. But who needs a story when you've got this insanity on screen? The madness and health and safety black hole that the events on screen represent mean that a story needs be no more than an afterthought. For what it's worth, Noel Marshall - wrote, starred, directed and financed it and his wife Tippi Hedren, who was a wildlife activist who campaigned for the protection of big cats, was the big name draw. Hedren, of course, was previously most well-known for her starring role in The Birds where she was famously mauled and scratched by an assortment of flying fiends. Well, all I can say is that what she experiences on Roar makes the actions of the birds in Alfred Hitchcock's classic seem positively reticent by comparison. The actors are all splendidly game and deserve huge amounts of credit for their nerve but the real stars of Roar are the big cats and rampaging elephants. This is the ultimate wet dream for any lover of the big cats in particular and we have the very strange scenario of seeing lions, cheetahs, panthers, leopards and tigers interacting with each other. Watching them violently wrestle is a pretty nerve shredding thing, except if you are Noel Marshall that is, he usually runs in to join them! But on the whole, while there are a few continuity errors and the editing is full-on and sporadic, this is exciting stuff that could never in a million years be described as boring.

Due to the large number of untrained animals on set, there were a reported 48 injuries within two years of the start of filming. Noel Marshall was bitten through the hand when he interacted with male lions during a fight scene; doctors initially feared that he might lose his arm. She was taken to Sherman Oaks Hospital , where her wounds were treated and she was given a tetanus shot. She was left with phlebitis and gangrene, in addition to a fractured hand and abrasions on her leg. Several days earlier Tembo had bucked his trainer, Patricia Barbeau, into a tree and broken her shoulder. It was feared that she would lose an eye, but she eventually recovered without being disfigured, although she did require some facial reconstruction. Most members of the crew were injured, including de Bont, who was scalped by Cherries while he was filming under a tarpaulin; [73] [51] [74] he received stitches, but resumed his duties after recovering. Pipes and berms from Aliso Canyon became flooded with water and burst on February 9, , after a night of heavy rain. Both were pointed towards the Marshall property to redirect water from the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. The property was destroyed by a foot 3. Marshall, who had left the hospital despite being scheduled to undergo knee surgery, helped to rescue many of the animals.

Well, the cats is coming in her memoir. More than half the book is given over to Shambala Preserve, the lion and tiger sanctuary that Hedren set up in California in the s. If you want to know how to stroke a big cat 'strong and firm, under his chin or in his mane'or what it means when they bare their teeth 'it has nothing Tippi: A Memoir do with anger; lions do their most effective sniffing from two holes in the roof of their mouths'this is the book for you. But if you're after the lowdown on what went on between Hedren and Alfred Hitchcock during the making of The Birds and Marnie, this memoir is rather less satisfying. Ever since the publication of Donald Tippi: A Memoir biography of Hitchcock, The Dark Side of Geniusmovie fans have wanted to know exactly what the ageing auteur got up to with his latest blonde starlet. Did the man who liked to tell his Tippi: A Memoir ladies to 'Call me Hitch, hold the cock', really fall head over heels for Hedren? Did he really follow her into her dressing-room during the Marnie shoot? And once in there, did he really make what Spoto calls an 'overt sexual proposition'? He certainly did, says Hedren, though since she adds that 'I've never gone into detail about this and I never will', you wonder what kind of autobiography the publishers thought they were buying.

  • Film Review: Roar
    Film Review: Roar Hank runs a nature reserve to study large cats in Africa, but the other land owners don’t like having a concentration of large predators so close by. On the same day Hank’s family flies to join him, he has a run-in with a council of neighbors who want the cats removed, and two men are injured by the overzealous animals. A comedy of errors follows Hank as he attempts to meet up with his family who eventually finds their own way to his house. Unfortunately the family arrives while Hank is away, and between the family’s lack of experience with the animals and the animals’ intention to display their place in the hierarchy, Hank’s family are beset upon by a large pack of lions, tigers, cheetahs and panthers. Roar has been referred to as the most dangerous film ever made, and watching it backs up that claim. The action in this film is all real and the actors are truly grappling with real animals; even the film’s promotion boasts that 70 members of the cast and crew were injured by the animals during the shooting of the film. Credit must be given to the cast and crew and especially to director and star Noel Marshall who somehow convinced people to take part in this project. In many scenes it is obvious that the animals are not trying to attack the actors, but just acting playfully dominant. However, playful or not, these are still animals that weigh hundreds of pounds and have sharp teeth and claws.

  • Camping Anthropomorphism in Roar
    The Cine-Files, Issue 14 (spring 2019) Animalistic Laughter: Camping Anthropomorphism in Roar Sean Donovan In 1971, Tippi Hedren participated in a photoshoot with Life magazine photographer Michael Rougier, showcasing her husband Noel Marshall and their family lounging in their spacious Sherman Oaks home. Far from a typical look at the rich and famous, these photos commanded attention through the presence of Neil, a 400-pound lion that is featured with the family in a variety of quotidian tableaux: with Hedren by the pool (see FIGURE 1), with Marshall in his office, even with Hedren’s daughter Melanie Griffith in her bed.1 These photographs were an expression of the family’s devout lion-love, willfully selling the fantasy of the Hedren-Marshall family living alongside an adult lion in a utopian union of animal and man (Neil actually lived in an animal preserve called Soledad Canyon, which Marshall purchased shortly after the photoshoot). As revealed in Hedren’s 2016 memoir Tippi, the photos also bore a calculated purpose: they were part of an effort to spur buzz in Hollywood about Roar (1981), Hedren and Marshall’s dream project, a family adventure film celebrating the majestic beauty of lions. Marshall would direct and star alongside Hedren, who was giving up birds for a new and even more ferocious animal co-star. Completed almost ten years after this glamorous photoshoot, Roar had a production history that completely contradicted the glossy leisure myth promoted by Rougier’s photography. Writing about the photoshoot years later, Hedren remarked, “I didn’t learn until many years later how naive and stupid we were.”2 FIGURE 1.
