True Romance behind the scenes stories May 28, 2008

Edit•Delete

We love the movie True Romance.
It’s a cult classic and if you like it’s great soundtrack, stupendous cast & script,
you’ll love this behind the scenes stories from the making of the film.

Quentin Tarentino at his best, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Christian Slater, Rosanna Arquette, Brad Pitt, and the fantastic Gary Oldham as the evil Drexl…. it doesn’t get much better!

On September 10, 1993, a major motion Picture—penned by future hotshot Quentin Tarantino, directed by action pro Tony Scott, and starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette—hit theaters with a brash fusion of stylized violence and whip-smart dialogue. It bombed. But True Romance was born again when it was released on video, achieving cult status among film geeks, rock stars, and regular Joes who got hip to Tarantino after 1994’s Pulp Fiction. Now, on the iconic flick’s 15th anniversary, you’d never guess the saga of an Elvis-obsessed loner who marries a hooker and flees to California with her pimp’s cocaine, was anything but a Hollywood hit. A few of its scenes—cue the Chris­topher Walken, Dennis Hopper face-off—are held in mythic esteem. We corralled the stars and creators to reconstruct the secret historyof True Romance—the production screwups, the on-set madness, and the sex and violence that reverberate so strongly to this day.

Farenheit 9/11 sequel May 14, 2008

CANNES, France (AP) — Michael Moore is taking America’s temperature again.

Michael Moore won the top honor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival with “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

Moore, who won the top honor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival with “Fahrenheit 9/11,” plans a followup to resume his examination of the nation’s status in the world in the years since the September 11 attacks.

“Fahrenheit 9/11,” the only documentary to top $100 million domestically at the box office, was a harsh, hilarious critique of George W. Bush and his administration in the wake of the attacks.

The as-yet-untitled followup will have a longer-term approach, film executives overseeing the project said Wednesday.

“That movie was about a moment in time, a specific moment,” said Nick Meyer, president of Paramount Vantage, which is co-financing the movie with Overture Films.

“We don’t view this movie as bashing anyone. I think it’s going to take a look at where America is right now in relation to the world. It’s not going to be about the issue of the war. It’s about where we are and what our role is.”

Danny Rosset, chief operating officer at Overture, said the movie will be scheduled for release domestically in spring 2009, soon after the changing of the guard when Bush leaves office.

Overture will release the film in the United States, while Paramount Vantage is handling overseas distribution.

Paramount Vantage is shopping the film around to international buyers at Cannes, which began its 12-day run Wednesday.

The Gates February 28, 2008

HBO has just premiered an extrodinary documentary about

The Gates

In 1979, the provocative artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude approached New York City officials with a proposal to create a temporary, large-scale work of art in Central Park. The city turned them down. Twenty-four years and several administrations later, following dozens of high-concept, high-profile works of landscape art in numerous urban and rural locations around the globe, they finally got the city’s approval to complete their vision. THE GATES chronicles the decades-long struggle of Christo and Jeanne-Claude to bring their most ambitious work of art to life. Read more.

It reminded me of this sweet video I found with Bhagavan Das walking and praying through The Gates.
