Lol and why do you say that?
$GPRO is only going up from this 9-14 dollar range. It went from $65 to $9 with no significant retraces. Sure their financials don't look great right now, but neither did Facebook's only a few years ago. GoPro is a great company and will continue to be, expect to see a bounce into the $20-$30 range in the next few months.
I'd say so, this thing will go up so fast once we hear more about what the company is doing. This could easily see 0.20+ with the right news.
This is holding up extremely well, hopefully we get some news sometime soon. Regardless, things are looking good for $CRCO!
One of Quentin Tarantino's top 20 favorite movies from 1992 to 2009 was Takashi Miike’s 1999 Japanese classic Audition!
Here's the link to the video:
Nice slow day, the chart is looking good. Just need a little volume and we'll be off to the races! 0.20+ coming!
Exactly, once news hits this will launch into the stratosphere.
Yeah definitely. I just can't wait to hear from the company, they haven't released too much other than 10q's and 8k's in the past year. So I think we'll start getting some PR's pretty soon.
Yeah that'd be great! Or if they did a movie with him, with their history Arnold probably wouldn't hesitate to work with Mario and Carolco again.
Looks great BigJuan, love the picture of Mario and Arnold!
Carolco Pictures DD
What we know:
On January 20, 2015, Alex Bafer changed the name of his production company Brick Top Productions to Carolco Pictures. Bafer then recruited Mario Kassar as the chief development executive of the new Carolco. One of its first projects is a remake of the 1999 Japanese horror film Audition, which is being produced by Kassar.
Some info on Mario Kassar: Mario Kassar, as producer and executive producer of films, has grossed over $3 billion dollars (in today's value) in worldwide theatrical box office receipts. Spanning a 30+ year
career, he has released 36 motion pictures of which 16 were nominated for Academy Awards
receiving a total of 6 Academy Awards.
So, what's this film Audition?
Audition is a remake of the Japanese cult bestseller of the same name
written by Ryu Murakami. The book was made into a Japanese film in
1999, and is considered one of the best Japanese horror films. We plan
to update the story, set the film in the US and leverage the cult status.
Here's some info about the production:
Budget: $4 million+
Director: Richard Gray
Producers: Mario Kassar, Richard Gray
Writers: Richard Gray, Michele Gray
Now here's the most interesting part, American remakes of Japanese horror films have a history of being very successful. Here's some examples:
Again, these are all examples of American remakes of Japanese horror films (Just like Audition is).
Movie Production Budge Gross Sales ROI
The Ring $48 million $249 million 418.7%
The Ring 2 $50 million $161 million 222%
The Grudge $10 million $187 million 1770%
The Grudge 2 $20 million $70 million 250%
Dark Water $30 million $49 million 63%
Pulse $20.5 million $30 million 46.3%
The Eye $12 million $56 million 366.7%
Shutter $8 million $47 million 487.5%
Mirrors $35 million $77 million 120%
One Missed Call $20 million $45 million 125%
Other than Audition, more recently it was announced that Mario Kassar will be the executive producer on the movie Foxtrot Six.
I found some more interesting things, have any of you already seen this stuff?
Here's an excerpt from an article released on February 10, 2015:
On speaking to a representative of Carolco Pictures TheTerminatorFans.com were told the following information about a boost to the company with a…
“$25,000,000 offering that the company is undertaking.”
Carolco continued to state that:
“It is all very exciting here and we have some interesting players and projects.”
25,000,000 dollars is more than four times what it cost to make the first Terminator movie back in 1984.

Here's an article from March 17, 2015:
Twenty years on, and the Carolco brand has been revived by Kassar and new CEO Alex Bafer, with one of its first projects being a new incarnation of the fearsome horror-drama, Audition. Beyond that, Bafer also hinted at something more akin to Carolco's sci-fi action films of old; it is, he said, "a Terminator-type sci-fi summer blockbuster."
That film now has a name: it's called BOT, and it's the first in a potential trilogy of movies penned by Tedi Sarafian - the story writer behind, among other things, 2003's Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines.
"BOT's the kind of movie I used to produce in the old days of Carolco," producer Mario Kassar told us. "A big, action kind of [film]. It's a little bit futuristic, but not set too much into the future - I don't want huge flying space craft, or whatever. It's set, maybe, 10 or 20 years or so from now. It has nano-technology in it, and good guys and bad guys. It's a very humane, interesting story."
The plot sounds like a cross between John Wyndham's classic The Midwich Cuckoos (later filmed twice as Village Of The Damned) and The Terminator. In the not-too-distant future, more than a hundred identical infants are born with intellects far beyond our own. Dubbed "Starchildren," they grow up and use their huge brains to take control of the entire planet. Soon, the ordinary human population is decimated and then enslaved by a sophisticated breed of nano-technology-driven robots:
"Robots unlike anything we've even seen before," Carolco's logline reads. "Godlike machines that can download a man's [consciousness] like a video game off the internet."
It sounds like an ambitious project, particularly given that it's a potentially expensive original concept rather than an adaptation or remake with a pre-installed audience. At this early stage, we don't know too much more about BOT - directors, stars and release dates aren't currently confirmed.
We do know that the first bit of concept art, however, is by Josh Nizzi, the artist behind such tech-filled hits as The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the Transformers films.

Have any of you guys see this article? Mario Kassar Backing Indonesian Action Film ‘Foxtrot Six’
Here's what it says:
Veteran Hollywood producer Mario Kassar will executive produce “Foxtrot Six,” a sci-fi action feature from first time Indonesian director Randy Korompis.
The $10 million picture is a co-venture between newly established production companies Rapid Eye Pictures and East West Synergy.
The budget is more than ten times the average in the country and puts the film on a sharply more international trajectory than most pictures from SE Asia. “Foxtrot” is intended to be the first element of six Hollywood-style franchise movies from South East Asia. It also sees Jakarta-based, French-Australian Guillaume Catala as co-producer.
Kassar, former head of Carolco, has credits including “Rambo,” “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” “Basic Instinct,” “Stargate,” and the original “Total Recall.”
The film is co-produced by Ario Sagantoro, who produced “The Raid” and “The Raid 2.” His fight choreographers include Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman. Producers are also anticipating a significant aerial crew and futuristic weaponry.
Production will start in the first half of 2016, on location in Indonesia and the U.S. and the completed picture is slated for worldwide release in 2017.
Definitely, and besides the fact that he loves making films, and is great at what he does, he's got the resources and connections as well. I'm excited to see what comes out of the woodwork!
Nice close, I'm just happy we got a print at .0125 today! Pretty soon we'll be trading well over that!
I found some interesting stuff about Mario Kassar on his Wiki page, thought I'd share it.
It was reported that Kassar also participated on Terminator Salvation (2009). However, it was later revealed that he and Vajna sold the franchise to Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek of the Halcyon Group in 2007. Kassar received $30 million for the purchase.
The Hollywood Reporter announced on October 4, 2012 that Kassar was backing Schuyler Moore, who is helping raise $100 million for the Singapore-based Infiniti Media Fund.
This ones interesting because in case Carolco needs money, it reassures us that there will be no problem finding it. Also there's a chance we see a PR that Carolco has raised some large sum of money in the future.
On February 17, 2015, it was announced that Kassar had returned as chairman of the board of directors of the currently relaunched Carolco Pictures. "One of my greatest joys in life was being the chairman of Carolco Pictures … I am elated to return to that position, to produce the world’s greatest movies once again under the Carolco brand for my fans and people everywhere to enjoy," Kassar said.
"The major difference between now and then are the advances in technology and cinematography not previously available to Carolco Pictures 20 years ago," Kassar said. "Combined with these advances … the best movies I will ever produce are still yet to come." Alex Bafer, now Carolco Pictures’ CEO, said Kassar "is hands-down the world’s greatest producer of mega-hit films. We couldn’t be more excited than to have Mario return as the chairman of the board. Our goal now is to not only restore the Carolco brand back to its rightful place in Hollywood, but also to build an entirely new library of memorable films for today’s generation."
Lol it wouldn't take much, there's only a few hundred bucks to penny land!
A close over a penny today would be great!
Loaded up on this one today, should be fun!
No we don't have to close higher than yesterday. We are perfectly fine right now, it's a very healthy pullback. We will continue to move higher, but there needs to be pullbacks every now and then too.
This is a very healthy drop. I'm glad it's correcting on the way up, the run isn't here yet. Plus, look at the volume today. Just a few 2-3 million sells, we'll be heading back up in no time. Then when news hits, BAM these levels will be gone.
It doesn't matter what people are expecting. No one knows what kind of numbers will be on the q. What we do know is that they've got a huge deal lined up that's going to be disclosed very soon. What I know is that within the month you'll be back to rooting for $BRWC just like all the other flippers.
No it's completely fine. It's just a mix of people wanting to see the news and trading around the 200 MA. Once we get news and break above .0014 we'll be off to the races.
Not really bid sitting, just no volume.
$BRWC looking good as ever, patience will pay off on this one. Welcome new investors, and hello to all the longs that've been here for the past few months. Go $BRWC!!
.0011x.0012 is up!
Trust me I've seen many, many big runners in the past. This is one of them. They all do the same thing.
The only reason stocks go to .0001 or no bid is because of dilution, and there is no more dilution here. This is the lowest you'll see this stock go, it can only go higher from here.
It won't be very encouraging if it doesn't make the deadline. I will still be holding regardless though, go BRWC!
That 10q better come out today or tomorrow.
Tomorrow or the next day probably
Have you ever seen a penny stock run? I've seen them go from .0001 to well over .05 before. I'm not saying this will go to .05, but it could definitely go to .01!
Hopefully we close .001
Alright! Now can we get a 12 mil buy please!
Yeah I'd love to see a close at .0011 today. That'd be great.
LOL. The next run won't even start until .0016-.0018 are broken, so do you really think this is going to stop at .002? That's laughable. The next run will take us over .003 MINIMUM.
So how late do you think we get the quarterly guys? Next week?
I have a feeling we're going to get news after hours today.
We'll probably get them today, over the weekend, or on Monday. So next week should be interesting.
