weinstein on cutting ‘basterds’

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

In a recent interview with GQ magazine, Harvey Weinstein was asked about those rumors regarding him wanting Tarantino to take a knife to Inglourious Basterds.  Here is what the nice mad had to say:

“Those stories are all untrue. There’s no f—ing way. Here, read my lips: That is nuts. Please don’t even write that, it’s insanity. There’s not even a question of that. Whatever you’re reading, it’s like some insane blogger. There’s no truth to any of this.  He’s not gonna cut. What he’s doing is just reorganizing some scenes. I mean, the guy had six weeks to cut his movie [for Cannes]; most guys take six months. Most guys take a year. When I worked with Martin [Scorsese], we’d do 18 months in post-production.

the road trailer

Friday, May 15th, 2009

A writer for Esquire called THE ROAD the “most important” movie of 2009. He also said The Weinstein Co. was threatening to fuck it all up with their marketing campaign. They warned that the trailer would try to explain what happened that led to post-apocalyptic future in the movie, something that was never explained in the book or by its author Cormac McCarthy. Sure enough at the beginning of this trailer, we have stock footage of lighting, fires and tidal waves with a newscast voiceover. So great, people can think this is going to be just like The Day After Tomorow, The knowing, 28 Days Later, and High School Musical; apocalypse movies are cool! It will be released in October 2009. Check out a blog dedicated to the movie, many a pictures.
