ROAR

   I still can’t believe this. Imagine stepping into your crush house, to your greatest surprise this gigantic cat comes out from nowhere to welcome you. OmG!!! That crush is going to crash that day Lol.

   Say hello to Neil the star from the 1970’s movie “ROAR” the most expensive home movie ever made. Producer Noel Marshal and Tippi Hedren (parents to Melanie Griffith), brought the lion into their home after deciding to make an epic movie about a family that lives with around 150 big cats. More than 70people were injured during filming including Melanie Griffith, who required 50stiches after being attacked by a lioness.

Humm what are we ordering?

   
Melanie Griffith is Tippi Hedren: star of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds - daughter from her first marriage to Peter Griffith. At the time these pictures were taken, Melanie was 19.

    While filming in Africa in 1969, Hedren and her husband saw an abandoned house which had been taken over and inhabited by lions. On their return to America, they were determined to make a film about-and with-lions, based on what they had witnessed, and to raise awareness of the endangered status of lions “to get to know anything about lions, you’ve just got to live with them for a while”. Hedren and her husband did exactly that introducing lions to their residential home. Following complaints, the family and the animas moved to a remote California ranch.

  

WTF!!! THIS GUY IS THE TRUE DEFINITION OF BRAVE HEART.

   The film was written and directed by Marashall and produced by Hedren and Marshall. Marshall had been producer of 1973’s “The Exorcist”. The plot consists of a male scientist studying the lives of African big cats. He is not at home when his family comes to visit and they are pursued form room to room by the lions and other big cats in his house.

If i wake and see this beside me...amma sleep forever

   Hedren and Marshall envisioned working with and filming big cats on a vast scale, bringing together 150 large cats-the largest private collection ever assembled. The coast of managing so many untrained animals contributed to the film’s huge production costs. Photography of the film took 5years. According to Randolph Sellars, a cinematographer working on “Roar” in 1978, every scene involving the animals was improvised and covered by up to eight camaras. Released in 1981, “Roar” cost over $17.5million but grossed just over $2million. A year later, Hedren and Marshall separated.

Pay me 1million I still wont work in the lion's Den.

    After production of “Roar” was complete, Hedren founded the Shambala Preserve, an animal sanctuary for the protection of mistreated or neglected exotic animals. The actress still lives there, as do around 70animals, including Michael Jackson’s Bengal tiger.
