THE LAST WEEK
Current mood:  optimistic

Hi,

Sorry for not posting more frequently. We are in the final week of our
mix and Digital Intermediate on Southland Tales, so I have been working
long, long hours. The film is basically finished by the end of the day this
friday.

Sony is putting the finishing touches on the trailer... and it should
premiere sometime in the first week of September. I have seen it and I
can tell you that it is very action-packed, features three songs from the
soundtrack, the entire cast of characters and a lot of one-liners. Very
exciting! Can't wait for everyone to see it. Special thanks to Kelly
Carlton and everyone at Intralink (they are the company responsible for the
trailers for Batman Begins, The Da Vinci Code and many other blockbusters).

Expect more updates soon about the graphic novel compilation book and
our soundtrack deal.

We will be screening the film for the very first time in the coming
weeks... so stay tuned:)

Best,

RK

something tells me the dark blue part was Kelly's original poster and then the rest is the movie co's idea.

I dont know, but thats horrible.

And where is the fucking trailer?

[72teeth]

is it suppost to look like an upside down flag?

probably a shitty attempt by the studio to retain some meaning from the blue part (which already has a flag) in their headshot gallery.

And where is the fucking trailer?

in a washing machine together with kevin smith's dirty underwear.

i think i just realized this.  but its possible i realized this 2 years ago and forgot: this is the most offputting cast ever assembled. 

Sean William Scott
The Rock
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Mandy Moore

who would want to see that movie?

[Pozer]

this movie sucks.

Kevin Smith
+ a bunch of has-beens and random ppl who need work

who would want to see that movie?

with the additions i made, and the exception of mandy moore, you're right.

you won't believe this but i was gonna post the exact same thing earlier today (including about realising this years ago) when i noticed that the three highlighted "stars" on the poster are just about the worst actors working today. this has asshole movie written all over it, but i think it'll suck even to them.

this is the Bobby of casts.

can't say for sure.

i figured most directors - or at least writer/directors/autuers - designed or at least put some input into the poster.

FINAL RUNNING TIME

Hello all,

I just wanted to make a clarification to the individual named "Davey
Bizzle" who claims to have seen the final version of Southland Tales and posted a review of the film on AICN via Moriarty. The problem is... the version
he saw is nowhere near the final version, but and avid output from
December of 2006, which was basically the cut as it existed (at a running time of 2
hrs 17 min) before we began to add dozens of new visual effects shots and
additional content to fix the film.

This is the version that I showed Sony (and Universal International)
last December... and said... there are still a lot of problems that we need
to fix and can I have more visual effects money to fix them? Thankfully,
they said yes.

The final running time of Southland Tales is 2 hrs 24 min... and more
than EIGHT MONTHS of work has gone into improving the film after this
version viewed by Davey Bizzle.

The description "(Mostly) Finished" is a completely innacurate
description of what Mr. Bizzle saw.

Just trying to set the record straight... and I can't wait to screen
the finished version.
