Overview
On or about July 14, 2017 the denizens of 4chan uncovered an obscure, 19th century children's book series about the adventures of one Baron Trump! Not only is that a freaky coincidence but the images and aspects of the story can further be tied to the modern day. Since the books are in public domain, and I am fascinated by this story AND have experience making fantasy films just like this...I think the world deserves to see these books made into movies. Kek wills it.

What the Hell?

So an American author wrote a series of books about a young Baron Trump going on magical adventures through the hollow Earth? And it involves time travel? I've skimmed the books and know that there is a great story here. Plus the idea of turning this into a movie that people can't ignore is trolling on another level. AND, I know that I can make an entertaining film for audiences of all ages.

I'm Leigh Scott. I'm a feature film director with over 30 credits, all distributed internationally and even a couple with limited theatrical releases. I'm also a Trump supporter, but shhh, don't tell anyone here in Hollywood. I fear for my safety. 

Fantasy is my favorite genre. I made the international mini-series "The Witches of Oz" a couple of years ago. I was also helped launch the LA based production company The Asylum. You know, the guys who make Sharknado. Yeah, that's me. I've made good movies and bad ones, but they're always entertaining on some level. Yes, even my 2007 film, "Transmorphers".

 

What I Need.

Cash. Just that simple. I have the cameras and most of the equipment. I also own a Visual Effects company. I just need money to pay for crew, costumes, actors, locations etc. I'll try to get some of my famous friends on board, and if I exceed the target budget, then I will definitely cast name actors. But for 100k I know I can deliver a solid, professional, fun fantasy film. One worthy to bear the name of the God Emperor. 

 

The Impact

It's simple. Introduce this madness to the general population. Turn Baron Trump into a fantasy icon like Harry Potter, Dorothy Gale or Alice. Come to think of it, wouldn't it be nice if there was a BOY in one of these stories?

Risks & Challenges
