Dead in Five Heartbeats, The Movie

Something very cool is happening in the Arizona desert fellow Chromies, and it's happening right the f#@k now; Sonny Barger's seminal biker tome "Dead in Five Heartbeats" is being crafted into a full length feature film! If you haven't read the book (available at http://www.sonnybarger.com/) you're truly missing out on a first rate action novel. Anyone that knows of Sonny's legend will find way more "fact" than "fiction" in "Dead in Five Heartbeats", as this is unquestionably one of the most authentic "club genre" books ever written. Get the book, it's the real deal, just like the man that wrote it. Screw Chuck Norris, Sonny kicked his ass before he could grow a beard.......so you're gonna read the book, right!?

Sharpfinger Films in conjunction with Sonny Barger productions are the driving force behind the flick, while Jeff Santo will be handling the director chores. As of now most of the principle filming is taking place in Arizona. In keeping with the films relentless pursuit of authenticity, wherever possible real club members and locations are being utilized. As for the cast, check out IMDB for details, but fans of the cult classic Boondock Saints are gonna be stoked, that's all I'm saying about that.

OK, gotta be honest here, I've got another reason to be stoked about "Dead", a couple of my companies brands are official product sponsors to the flick; namely River Road (http://www.riverroadgear.com/) and Speed and Strength (http://www.ssgear.com/). We'll be supplying clothing and footwear for key lead characters. So keep your eyes peeled for some really cool bikerwear, especially some outrageous "tactical style" vests, badass doesn't begin to describe them. Many thanks to Amy and her people, they are the hardest working crew in the wardrobe racket, you've been a blast to work with.

So you're reading the book, that's good, but as a hardcore biker and fellow Chromie, you want more, and you want it now. No problem, Sonny's crew's got you covered. All you have to do is go to http://www.youtube.com/ and type in "Dead in Five Heartbeats day one" and go from there, check the right side nav bar for additional daily updates (day four and six are really choice) as they're posting new stuff all the time.

Could it be that we'll finally have a flick that does justice to the outlaw biker way of life, that iconic aspect of American pop culture that we're all so passionate about? We'll know the answer to that question when we see the finished product, but you have to believe that with Sonny Barger behind it there's no way "Dead in Five Heartbeats" is just another "cheesy biker flick"......not a chance.
