The concert film of the Stones' Steel Wheels and Urban Jungles

tours from 1990 in the 70mm large-frame IMAX format. The 89 minute film is the

first feature in the format. It will open at some of the domestic IMAX
|
|||
|
|
and OMNIMAX screens. The suggested ticket price will be $12 - $15. European
|
|||
|
|
and Asian engagements will commence in the Spring of 1992. There are 74
|
|||
|
|
permanent IMAX and OMNIMAX theatres in the world. Apparently IMAX is having
|
|||
|
|
great difficulty getting the theatres to book this film since a lot of them are
|
|||
|
|
associated with educational and research institutions and they feel a Stones
|
|||
|
|
concert film would not be appropriate. The California Museum of Science and
|
|||
|
|
Industry in Los Angeles has booked the film.

An adaptation of Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST from the director of THE
|
|||
|
|
COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER. It faithfully follows the plot,
|
|||
|
|
characters, and text of the original in which Prospero, Duke of Milan, after 12
|
|||
|
|
years of forced exile on a remote island, plans a revenge and then a
|
|||
|
|
reconciliation with his enemies. The film is called PROSPERO'S BOOKS because
|
|||
|
|
it is structured around 24 magic volumes that Prospero's friend, Gonzalo,
|
|||
|
|
hurriedly put into Prospero's boat as a charitable act to ease his exile.
|
|||
|
|
These books have enabled the learned Prospero to transform his barren island of
|
|||
|
|
exile into an eclectic haven of Renaissance learning, pictorial imagery and
|
|||
|
|
classical mythology. Had to bow out of the Cannes Film Festival due to the
|
|||
|
|
complex special effects being incomplete. Shot in HDTV and partially financed
|
|||
|
|
by NHK. Has some wild visual effects via Quantel's video paintbox. Opened in
|
|||

|
London on August 23. Advanced word is SENSATIONAL.

A buoyant boy-meets-girl romance that is one of the most acclaimed and
|
|||
|
|
successful debut features to come from France in years. Set in contemporary
|
|||
|
|
Paris, this film tells the story of a perpetual dropout whose sole interests
|
|||
|
|
are sleeping late, chain-smoking and prowling the Paris streets for new
|
|||
|
|
girlfriends. He amasses a vast array of female companions due to his
|
|||
|
|
considerable charm. One day he meets Nathalie, a ravishingly seductive woman
|
|||
|
|
who is extremely smart as well. They fall in love. In a lyrical style
|
|||
|
|
anchored in the French New Wave, Rochant evokes the tentative stabs at romance
|
|||
|
|
made by this very mis-matched pair.

The film tells the tale of a group of four children who spend their summer
|
|||
|
|
vacation with their grandmother, who is a survivor of the atomic bomb dropped
|
|||
|
|
on Nagasaki. There is a common Japanese belief that the bombing of Hiroshima
|
|||
|
|
and Nagasaki were unjustifiable acts of American terrorism, and had nothing to
|
|||
|
|
do with ending the war. The youngest child becomes deeply resentful of the
|
|||
|
|
U.S. when he learns that the bomb killed his grandfather. But his feelings are
|
|||
|
|
confused when an American uncle, played by Richard Gere (speaking Japanese),
|
|||
|
|
visits from Hawaii. Gere is shocked to learn that his grandmother lost her
|
|||
|
|
husband in the bombing, and asks, on behalf of the U.S., for her forgiveness,
|
|||
|
|
which she happily gives.
|
|||
|
|
The film was savaged by foreign journalists at a preview screening in Tokyo,
|
|||
|
|
claiming that Kurosawa was ignoring Japan's role in starting the war by bombing
|
|||
|
|
Pearl Harbor and massacring hundreds of thousands in Nanking and Manila.
|
|||
|
|
Kurosawa explained that he was not attempting to defend Japan's role in the
|
|||
|
|
war. "This is a film about a family - not war or peace". The moral of the
|
|||
|
|
tale was intended to be that it is the leaders of countries, and not the
|
|||
|
|
ordinary people, who are responsible for wars.

Ex-NBC chief Brandon Tartikoff takes over Paramount Pictures. He sees a
|
|||
|
|
script called "All I Want For Christmas". He says, "If TV movies have 30-day
|
|||
|
|
shooting schedules, why can't features?" This one does. In what must be
|
|||
|
|
record time for modern feature films, this one will take 4 months from start of
|
|||
|
|
principal photography to hitting the neighborhood screens. Leslie Nielsen
|

|
|
plays Santa. A portent of things to come at Paramount? Mebbe it will be
|
|||
|
|
available on homevideo for Christmas, 1991? Seven-year old Hallie O'Fallon
|
|||
|
|
(Birch) think that a department store Santa can help bring her estranged
|

Creepy Dutch-French thriller that has turned into a bona-fide Art-House hit.
|
|||
|
|
A young woman disappears from a roadside rest stop while on holiday with her
|
|||
|
|
boyfriend. The film has been held over at New York's Cinema 12 for so long,
|
|||
|
|
that the French film NOIR ET BLANC had to go elsewhere after waiting several
|
|||
|
|
weeks.

Theresa Russell is an L.A. prostitute who takes on a sordid assortment of
|
|||
|
|
men in cars. She gives a running commentary of her experiences directly to the
|
|||
|
|
camera. Apparently this film lacks the usual style and verve of Ken Russell's
|
|||
|
|
projects. The filmmakers are very distraught by the rating, as they feel that
|
|||
|
|
all of the young women who were captivated by PRETTY WOMAN should see this
|
|||
|
|
film, which is far more realistic.

Universal to Carolco. This story of his life begins with his impoverished

youth in London, continues with his major achievements during Hollywood's

his exile from America and his brief, triumphant return to accept his special

Academy Award. Downey will age from 19 to 83 in the process. Aykroyd plays

In this sequel to PETER PAN, Hoffman is Capt. Hook, Williams is a grown-up
|
|||
|
|
Peter Pan (attorney), Roberts is Tinker Bell, Hoskins is Smee and Smith is Gran
|
|||
|
|
Wendy. Capt. Hook and Peter now fight as 35-year old equals. Film features
|
|||
|
|
spectacular sets and Visual Effects from ILM. Aa Tinker Bell, Roberts will
|
|||
|
|
not work with any of the rest of the cast, but in front of a bluescreen. Her
|
|||
|
|
wings will be animated separately and matted into her shots. Huge outlook.
|
|||
|
|
Spielberg last directed INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE. Film is way
|
|||
|
|
over budget and schedule. Outrageous contract terms for Spielberg and Messrs
|
|||
|
|
Hoffman and Williams have the trio taking more of the revenue than TriStar!
|
|||
|
|
(About 40% of the gross). Some have speculated that the film would have to
|
|||
|
|
gross some $500 million to break even! (That's somewhat inflated, methinks).
|
|||
|
|
Carrie Fisher wrote Tinkerbell's dialogue and also did a script polish.
|
|||
|
|
They will have a heckuva time meeting the December 11th date, so there has
|
|||
|
|
been talk of a 12/18 or 12/25 opening. The producers are adamant about
|
|||
|
|
releasing the film this year, though. (Visions of Oscars dancing in their
|
|||
|
|
heads?) The producers plan to release HOOK in formats galore: 70mm SR, 70mm
|
|||
|
|
Dolby A, 70mm CDS, 35mm SR, 35mm Dolby A, 35mm CDS.

This is the BIG one, folks. By now you've all heard the stories on how this
|
|||
|
|
has turned into the most expensive film ever. $80, $90, even $100 million has
|
|||
|
|
been mentioned. This is a huge, huge production and we have been promised the
|
|||
|
|
most spectacular, sensational visual effects ever committed to film. (I hope
|
|||
|
|
the story is good.) There are FIVE effects houses working on this one,
|
|||
|
|
including ILM, Fantasy II Film Effects, 4-Ward Prods. and Stan Winston, Inc.
|
|||
|
|
ILM's computer graphics division hired 20 new programmers just for this
|
|||
|
|
project and had to make an investment of over $3 million to win the contract!
|
|||
|
|
(The new employees are permanent, of course..a total of 35 in computer graphics
|
|||
|
|
now. ) A cyborg killing machine is sent back in time to kill hero John Connor
|
|||
|
|
while is still and infant. If it succeeds, three billion people will die in a
|
|||
|
|
nuclear holocaust on Judgement Day: August 29, 1997. One of the all-time
|
|||
|
|
boxoffice performers in its early stages of release. Opened in the U.K. on
|
|||
|
|
August 16 breaking most existing boxoffice records with similarly glowing
|
|||
|
|
notices, including a new world record for a single screen at Odeon's flagship
|
|||
|
|
Leicester Square theatre in London. Boxoffice records are now falling around
|
|||
|
|
the world. Worldwide boxoffice projections exceed $425 million.

|

only to again be faced with battling the Alien while hindered by the lack of

having conquered the music video world already, particularly for Madonna.
|

|
Visual Effects are provided by Boss Films. Supervisor Richard Edlund says the
|

|
|
EFX will be vastly more sophisticated and numerous than in the previous two
|

|
|
films. The title alien will be more mobile than in the past and there will
|

|
|
be some "digital scene creation", such as Edlund used in GHOST's end sequence.

Production design by multiple Oscar winner Norman Reynolds. There had been
|
|||
|
|
talk that the film needed a month of reshoots, but those plans were scuttled
|

|
|
and only a week or so's worth of shooting will occur. Fox' exec. VP Tom
|

|
|
Sherak says "there's no better way to launch Summer 1992 that with this latest
|

chapter in the series, which is a stunning continuation of the story both

creatively and technologically". Film has been twice delayed, from

Painstakingly restored as much as possible after the film's 1960 butchering

at the hands of censors and studio executives, this epic is back. Film
|

restoration expert extraordinaire Robert Harris tackled the job, after doing
|
|||
|
|
the same for NAPOLEON and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. This Super Technirama film was
|
|||
|
|
202 minutes at the final preview, 189 minutes at the pre-censorship,
|
|||
|
|
pre-release version. Then it was cut to 187 minutes at the pre-censorship
|
|||
|
|
level. After that it was cut to 161 minutes and released. The restored,
|
|||
|
|
converted Super Panavision 70 version runs 187 minutes plus 10 minutes of
|
|||
|
|
overtures. Enjoy.

|

|
|
workprint that was previewed before the original 1982 theatrical release of

for superior film than the originally released product. Scott will complete

that version for limited theatrical exposure in 1992, then home video.

A huge-scale, rather comic look at the legend of Robin Hood and his merry
|
|||
|
|
men. This production boasts the hottest name in filmdom today in
|
|||
|
|
Costner. Freeman is his sidekick. Rickman, the perfect heavy, is the Sheriff
|
|||
|
|
of Nottingham. Mastrantonio makes a fetching Maid Marion. This is the second
|
|||
|
|
entrant in the battle of the Robin Hoods (three different attempted
|
|||
|
|
productions, two actually made). Now it's up to the public to decide....
|
|||
|
|
Opens on 2100 screens. Sneaked in Sacramento on 3/27 with the best preview results
|
|||
|
|
in Warner Brothers history. 68% of the preview cards rated it "excellent", 30%
|
|||
|
|
were "very good". Film re-cut in May due to Mr. Rickman "stealing the show" as
|
|||
|
|
the Sheriff of Nottingham. Opens in London on July 19. Recorded in Q-Sound.
|
|||
|
|
From Morgan Creek.

A successful "Buppie" investment broker risks his career, his fiancee and his
|
|||
|
|
luxurious possessions over his infatuation with a beautiful, exotic young woman
|
|||
|
|
who he has only seen. He enlists the aid of a street-smart mailroom clerk who
|
|||
|
|
works in his firm. The clerk gives the broker a crash course in the wilder
|
|||
|
|
side of life and helps him meet the girl of his dreams -- in exchange for a leg
|
|||
|
|
up on the corporate ladder. Hooks is a two-time Emmy Award winner and the son
|
|||
|
|
of actor Robert Hooks. Musical score is by Michael Colombier (NEW JACK CITY).

Negative Cost: $23 million
|
|||
|
|
A huge-scale science fiction romance/road story filmed around the
|
|||
|
|
world in nine countries by Berlin's great Wim Wenders. This futuristic (set
|
|||
|
|
in 1999) thriller concerns a man's efforts to retrieve a valuable invention
|
|||
|
|
(a device to permit blind people to see recorded images) and a woman's pursuit
|
|||
|
|
of the mysterious man she loves. Moreau plays Hurt's blind mother, Von Sydow
|
|||
|
|
is his father. Production was to have been in 65mm, but the demanding location
|
|||
|
|
requirements resulted in a 35mm production. Title song is by the Irish group
|
|||
|
|
U2. Other acts on the soundtrack include Neneh Cherry, Lou Reed, R.E.M., Patti
|
|||
|
|
Smith, Peter Gabriel and Robbie Robertson. Early notices are quite positive
|
|||
|
|
on some aspects, but mixed on others. Film runs a epic 178 minutes and
|
|||
|
|
apparently seems somewhat truncated at that length. Wenders also has a
|
|||
|
|
five-hour cut that he would like to make the film festival rounds and on home
|
|||
|
|
video. Opened in Germany to mixed business in September. Reviews in Berlin
|
|||
|
|
were dreadful, they loved it in Munich.
