Quantcast

Hatfield vs. McCoys, West Virgina vs. Romania

It's a true American story that wasn't filmed in America. Apparently poverty stricken West Virginia wasn't cheap enough to bring a legendary reporting movie crew to. Seems that the war waged between the two families between West Virginia and Kentucky was more frugally shot by traveling thousands of miles to a foreign country. The film crew traveled to Bucharest, Romania to film the History Channel Special.

It’s the true American story of a legendary family feud—one that spanned
decades and nearly launched a war between Kentucky and West Virginia.
Hatfields & McCoys, a three-part miniseries, showcases an all-star
cast led by Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton. It chronicles a clash of
clans that inspired passion, vengeance, courage, sacrifice, crimes and
accusations, while forever transforming the two families and the region
they lived in.

The Hatfield-McCoy saga begins with Devil Anse
Hatfield (Costner) and Randall McCoy (Paxton). Close friends and
comrades until near the end of the Civil War, they return to their
neighboring homes—Hatfield in West Virginia, McCoy just across the Tug
River border in Kentucky—to increasing tensions, misunderstandings and
resentments that soon explode into all-out warfare between their
families. As hostilities grow, friends, neighbors and outside forces
join the fight, bringing the two states to the brink of another civil
war.

    The same Hollyweird Libs who produced this mini-series will now turn around and accuse Mitt Romney of "victimizing" American workers while never seeing the irony of the fact that they wouldn't even film in America. How many American workers were available in Romania ?

    Typical Liberal hypocrites !

    i think they probably went to romania because it was probably cheaper there to make the movie just like so many companies relocate overseas because they cant afford to stay in business here in the us. too many taxes and regulations. cant blame business for trying to stay afloat and make money thats just how it is. need to change the way businesses are treated here in the us. and this is a global economy

    Were they afraid if they filmed in the two States, in which it happened, that it would start the fued all over again? Why Romania? More outsourcing. Or just More Hollywood Libs?

    We plan to watch but they said the reason it was filmed in Romania is because they could a lot of the sets from Cold Mountain.

    So you'd rather them waste money and film in a more exspensive area that provides no benefits over a cheaper area? Yea because that makes sense lol.

    So you'd rather AMERICAN BUSINESSES/CORPORATIONS waste money and PROFITS in a more expensive area, THE UNITED STATES, that provides no benefits over a cheaper area/COUNTRY?

    Yea because that makes sense lol.

    It's good to hear from a Republican every once in a while.

    Sorry. OK You're a retard.

    You're right, Mitt. Good business decision.

    {besides nobody wants to go to the south anyways.}
    Actually, VA is the North of the South.
    It's a good place to be and it has some fine people down there.

    I am a Republican by force for the first time in my 40 year independent life and while I don't like it, it certainly is a far better option than a Democrat.

    I am a conservative Republican. I changed from voting for McGovern in 72 to Voting for Reagan in 80 and 84. I had to face how stupid and naive I was but thanks to William F. Buckley and people like him,I made the change.

    Creating American jobs, producing American revenue and paying American taxes is not a waste of time. How is it cheaper to ship all the items needed to Romania for the shoot? Only one way to answer that Unions. You need to learn some common sense.
