First of all: Hi to the new viewer R.I.!!!!!!!

Second of all, here is an artical from the Daily Telegraph:
TWO Sydney filmmakers are locked in a battle to be the first to produce a film about 1984's Milperra biker massacre.
Producer Richard Bradley yesterday released a website investment prospectus for his project Brothers At War, which tells the story of the bloody feud between the Bandido and Commanchero clubs which led to the deaths of seven people � including a 14-year-old girl � at the long-gone Viking Tavern.
It lists actors Colin Friels and Lisa Hensley as two of its stars.
Last month, Moulin Rouge producer Martin Brown announced plans for a movie on the same subject � entitled Brothers In Arms, which looks at the massacre through the eyes of Bandidos president "Snoddy" Spencer.
It was even mooted that Brown's film, based on the book by Sandra Harvey and Lindsay Simpson, just might have actor Ewan McGregor heading the cast.
Speaking to Confidential yesterday, Bradley refused
to comment on his rival producer's plans.
"What other people do is their business," said Bradley, who has been working on his project "on and off" for four years.
Bradley said seeking investors through the prospectus � found on www.brothersatwar.com � was the only way "a film like this would get up."
"Seeking local investors guarantees the film will be completely Australian � and will stay here in Australia," he said.
"We hope to have funding in a matter of weeks."
Describing the subject matter as "complex", Bradley said he had secured the support of the two biker clubs as well as the police.
Asked how difficult a movie like this is to make, given
its subject matter, Bradley didn't hesitate.
"Very," he said.
