LEGENDS OF THE LOCH Set to Go Before the Cameras

Actor, producer, stunt man, radio host, 70mm camera operator, distributor, film preservationist and film authority extraordinaire Douglas Dunning is set to appear in Legends of the Loch, a fantasy/adventure with former 007 star George Lazenby (he plays Captain Dunkirk), written produced and to be directed by Terry McGreal, wherein he plays a character known as “The Stranger”.  He is a scientist/explorer who happens upon the Yeti (Abominable Snowman) in the Himalayas.  His character ends up at pub on the outskirts of Loch Ness, Scotland where he meets several strangers, one of whom is Captain Dunkirk, as well as a publican and a grizzled seaman.  He comes across all kinds of creatures, as well as the Loch Ness monster, and discovers the Lost City of Atlantis.  The film will incorporate stop-motion animation into live action, and casting will be announced soon.  In the meantime, you can see Mr. Dunning in the short film Manhattan Noir on Vimeo.

The film is not to be confused with the Milton Rosmer 1934 comedy of the same name.  From the press release:
