Any trailers yet? I really want to see this movie, Call me crazy!
Don't expect to see this film this year as the released date has been pushed back to Feb 2004.I don't like the sound of that. Where did you hear that Chris? I wonder if it's to give them time to work on the fx or if it's due to the fact that they have laid a stink bomb?
Multiple awarded Vittorio Storaro handles the cinematography of this film, realized in UNIVISIUM â 1:2 format - invented by him"A 1:2 format"? I'm not sure I understand what this means ratio wise.
Paul Schrader is being exorcised. Last week, he handed in his final cut of Exorcist IV: The Beginning, the $45m prequel to William Friedkin's 1973 horror masterpiece, and reaction from its makers Morgan Creek was apoplectic. According to a well-placed source, the studio chiefs waited in vain for the spinning heads and projectile vomiting they believed they had paid for. The trailers now running in US cinemas, comfortingly heavy on iconic scenes and Mike Oldfield music from Friedkin's money-spinner, would have to be pulled. What they were watching instead was some kind of post-colonial period-piece, a moody, intimate examination of faith. What they were watching, in fact, was the script they had paid for, which, rumour has it, they simply hadn't read.
Schrader and the studio are now at loggerheads. They can't sack him, and he won't resign. The option of hauling cast and crew back together for reshoots in its Moroccan location is financially insane. But Morgan Creek are loathe to give Schrader post-production money to finish his film. It seems a classic Hollywood case of greed versus integrity, of money men not realising they're paying for art till it's too late. But then, this film was trouble from the start.A lot more info is available here.
