Full Metal Jacket Diary for iPad

Matthew Modine:

“In 1985, Stanley Kubrick encouraged me to take photos and keep a journal while playing the lead role of Pvt. Joker on the set of FULL METAL JACKET. In 2005, I published a limited edition book of my photos and diary. This app is based on that book; enriched and reimagined as an interactive, audiovisual experience. I hope you enjoy it!”

I was a big fan of Full Metal Jacket when it was released. Great movie. The app includes:

  • Modine’s complete diary text from his out-of-print, award-winning, metal-bound book
  • Five chapters chronicling the filmmaking process – Private Life, Vietnam, Boot Camp, On Leave, and Boot Camp Redux
  • A nearly four hour audio experience with Modine’s own absorbing narration, produced with immersive sound effects and original music
  • Over 400 high-res photos and personal documents scanned from original negatives and source material
  • Detailed information on photos including dates, locations, and all-new remembrances written by Modine
  • Three bonus galleries featuring select photo restoration comparisons
  • Interactive “favorites” gallery designed to simulate Matthew’s original contact sheets used in compiling his book
  • Store your favorite photos and audio clips for later reference
  • Share your favorite photos with your friends via Twitter
  • Links to related articles, videos, content, and much more
