Thema: Fusion "DD" und "Southland Tales"-Forum?

Southland Tales blew away Cannes. Every person I talked to after the screening had no doubt that it was the best film to screen in Cannes so far, which includes Fast Food Nation, Volver, and Wind That Shakes the Barley. It takes everything you saw in Darko, (Apocalypse, Messiah’s, Time Travel) and multiplies it by 10. [...] This film is Kelly’s Pulp Fiction, and it will be hard for him top it.

Das kann natürlich sein das die Produktionsfirma den noch zurechtkürzt. Ich mein warum nich, hat ja auch bei Donnie Darko geklappt

"Southland Tales": Nach Cannes-Debakel starke Kürzungen angemahnt

Der Vertrieb des neuen Streifens "Southland Tales" von "Donnie Darko"-Regisseur Richard Kelly verlangt nach vernichtenden Kritiken bei seiner Premiere in Cannes starke Schnittauflagen.
Insgesamt um eine komplette Stunde soll der Filmemacher seinen neuen Film nun kürzen.
Richard Kelly ist von dieser Entscheidung enttäuscht und frustriert, da er den Streifen gerne in der von ihm favorisierten Fassung ins Kino gebracht hätte.

I just wanted to give everyone an update on Southland Tales, as there was recently an article published in Hot Dog Magazine about the film being taken away from me and cut down by an hour. This interview took place during the Cannes Film Festival and WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT WITHOUT REFERENCING MANY POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THEN.
As many of you know, the film has been bought by Sony and I have been finishing A SHORTER cut of Southland Tales under their supervision. It has been a great experience and I feel like the film is now in better shape than ever. The film will absolutely be released in theaters, and Sony is still deciding on an appropriate release date and strategy.
The second graphic novel of The Prequel Saga, "Southland Tales - Book II: Fingerprints, will be released on September 13th. Book III will likely come out in mid-October. If you like the books, I guarantee you will love the film, as it represents chapter IV-VI!
Thank you guys for your continued support, and please know that I am incredibly proud of this film and excited for it to be seen. What you will see in theaters will absolutely be my cut of the film!
Best,
Richard
