Curiosidades

Virtually Heroes is a 2013 American low-budget gamer film directed by G.J. Echternkamp and starring Robert Baker and Mark Hamill. Produced by Roger Corman, it made its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.

Production

Virtually Heroes evolved from Roger Corman's desire to utilize his extensive library of stock footage to create a modern war film. Since the 1970s, Corman produced over 20 war films with Filipino director Cirio H. Santiago. Writers G.J. Echternkamp and Matt Yamashita drew heavily on Corman's library to write their script, developing a video game world to justify the repurposed stock footage.

"I thought if I could find a way to use the big battle scenes from all of these pictures and put it together in a new picture and shoot just a short period of time to tie them all together, I could get a big-looking picture for very little money," Corman said in an interview.

Because of the shoestring-budget, most of the film had to be block-shot. Most of the takes were done only twice.
