Fay Couldn't Stop "USS SEAVIPER" The Movie!Contributed by: Robert Norris on 9/17/2008FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 09.17.08"NOT EVEN TROPICAL STORM FAY COULD STOP THIS MOVIE!"Scenes from the Feature Film " USS SEAVIPER" were scheduled to be filmed in mid August
but due to extensive flooding in Pt. St. Lucie caused by Tropical Storm Fay
they had to be re-scheduled.
On Friday & Saturday, September 19th and 20th, four scenes from the World War 2
Submarine Combat film " USS SEAVIPER" will be filmed at a park in Pt. St. Lucie,
Florida. In the scenes being filmed two American Pilots are shot down by Japanese
anti-aircraft fire while on a "Top Secret" flight over a small island in the South Pacific.
The Americans have information that ties Axis forces to a Uranium exchange on the
island and " USS SEAVIPER" a World War 2 Era Diesel Sub is sent to rescue the
downed pilots and gather information that will confirm Allied Intelligence's worst fears.
On the ground the downed pilots grapple with the jungle and life threatening injuries
while they are hunted by Axis troops and are forced to fight for their lives. (including
some pretty nasty hand-to-hand combat). The crew aboard the boat has their own
worries as the Navigational Officer and COB struggle for power, and " USS SEAVIPER"
is depth charged by a Japanese destroyer. Some of them won't make it out alive!
"The scenes we are shooting this weekend will be among some of the most profound
moments in the movie. They portray the deepest sacrifices our fighting men and
women had to make to protect our liberties during this great conflict."
-Ralph Villani Director, "USS Seaviper".
