The film has been named... Ransomed

Despite incredible heat... filming continues on the EPIC SUMMER MOVIE:

Ransomed

Yes, the movie now has a name!!!!

The original message that started it all!

We would like to make a movie over the summer, and want to hear our friend's ideas and what they would like to do.

We'd like it to be in the Georgian Era (1714-1830).

When filming, meeting, etc. we would like people to wear modest clothing. Please nothing that shows cleavage or belly, shorts no higher than finger tip, and skirts not above the knee. Also nothing extremely tight or with obscene words/pictures.
