|

|
|
New York's Cinema II gets the honor of first presenting the restored film
|
|||
|
|
of Orson Welle's rendition of Shakespeare's Othello. Having been shown at the
|
|||
|
|
Cannes Film Festival in 1952 and winning the Palm D'Or there, it then virtually
|
|||
|
|
vanished from view. Welles shot this film over a period of four years during
|
|||
|
|
which he took breaks to do other projects and earn financing for this pet dream
|
|||
|
|
film. It actually was picked up for release by United Artists and opened on
|
|||
|
|
9/12/55 at the Pathe Paris in Manhattan. (That house is now the Loew's Fine
|
|||
|
|
Arts). Reviews were mixed and patrons were caught up in the frenzy of the
|
|||
|
|
Cinemascope years. It quickly disappered from sight. The nitrate negative
|
|||
|
|
was discovered in a New Jersey warehouse, where it was restored frame-by-frame
|
|||
|
|
over a ten-month period. The faulty soundtrack was restored with a new
|
|||
|
|
digital stereo surround track and the film is now back to the original 91
|
|||
|
|
minute director's cut. Go see it.

|

|

This $30+ million project was put into turnaround at Fox and has found a home
|
|||
|
|
with Sony Pictures Entertainment, as Mark Canton snapped it up. Fox balked at
|
|||
|
|
the increasing cost of the film, which is an 1870's doomed romance-drama.
|
|||
|
|
It is based on Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Lewis stars in
|
|||
|
|
THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS for Fox and Pfeiffer can be seen meowing in BATMAN
|
|||
|
|
RETURNS for Warner Brothers and LOVE FIELD for Orion. Production Designer is

else?), who edited CAPE FEAR, GOODFELLAS, THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST and

RAGING BULL, for which she was Oscared. This is one of only two pictures that

Scorsese is permitted to make outside his six-year exclusive deal at Universal.

A very visual production of the classic tale, filmed entirely on the lot at
|
|||
|
|
Columbia Studios once HOOK vacated the premises. This will be based on the
|
|||
|
|
original "Dracula" story, rather than the play or the Bela Lugosi film. There
|
|||
|
|
are 60 sets and 175 special effects shots. All the effects will be done in
|
|||
|
|
camera, rather than at with blue screens. Magicians, mirrors and trapdoors
|
|||
|
|
will replace optical houses. Shot with Arriflex cameras. Right on the 70
|
|||
|
|
day shooting schedule and on budget, thanks to Coppola's innovative electronic
|
|||
|
|
gear that enables cast and crew to see storyboard, script, and completed
|
|||
|
|
footage on multiple video monitors simultaneously. Word is that it may get
|
|||
|
|
slapped with an NC-17 rating.

A big screen treatment of the life of legendary illusionist Harry Houdini
|

comes to life after twenty years of development by mega-producer Ray Stark.
|

|
|
The film will approach the subject from the angle of the relationship between
|

|
|
Harry and his wife and how their lives were interwoven with mysticism and
|
|||
|
|
spirituality. Stark calls Zemeckis "the most important young adult director
|

|
|
since John Huston. He has vast cinematic knowledge, but it is never more than
|
|||
|
|
a background for his feelings toward humanity." Price wrote WHO FRAMED ROGER
|

|
|
RABBIT. The film is a Columbia-Universal co-production, and it has not been

Peters Entertainment and Columbia acquired the rights to this book that

concerns the theory that the Reagan-Bush campaign and William Casey made a

|

|
|
presidential campaign to delay the release of U.S. hostages in Teheran until

|
|
the alleged booty. Columbia sees this project as having the scope and epic

quality of ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN.

Infamous production from first-time scripter Evans, whose initial
|
|||
|
|
deal included big bucks and directing chores. Production shuttered
|
|||
|
|
after it became apparent he couldn't direct. Rosanna Arquette was
|
|||
|
|
paid off on her play-or-pay contract. Donner brought in...rewrites
|
|||
|
|
done. Evans gets an exec producer credit. This story is of two brothers who
|
|||
|
|
build a kind of flying machine to escape their abusive lives. Now we'll see
|
|||
|
|
if a red wagon can fly! Visual flying effects from Zoran Perisic's

Oscar-winning Zoptic system used so effectively in SUPERMAN. Additional

Visual Effects from Apogee Productions. From Stonebridge Entertainment.
|
|||
|
|
Postponed from July 12 due to being behind schedule. Promotional partners
|
|||
|
|
Dairy Queen and Kraft Marshmallows were very upset. Columbia reimbursed DQ
|
|||
|
|
some $2 million for expenses on the aborted promotion. Original $15 million
|
|||
|
|
budget shot to hell. After languishing with a "Fall" release date, Columbia
|
|||
|
|
has decided on President's Day weekend 1992. Yet another ending has been
|
|||
|
|
shot for this project (making about 19!) in the winter. Advanced word is
|
|||
|
|
excellent. Word is that there may not be any 70mm blowups after all.

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. 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.

years, caught up in litigation with Dino DeLaurentiis' defunct company. And

Third time's the charm? Ripley arrives on an orbiting prison space station
|

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

technology in this new place. Fincher is a first-time feature director,

|
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. The film will go
|
|||
|
|
through four weeks of reshoots in LA commencing December 9th. It's apparently
|
|||
|
|
a mess! 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 November/December 1991, to January/February 1992,

the "bad seed" and he's tied up with HOME ALONE 2. This film takes place in a

wintry environment so it will now be a 1993 release, rather than Fall 1992.
|

|
|
Michael Lehmann of HEATHERS and HUDSON HAWK infamy was signed as director. He
|
|||
|
|
didn't think Culkin was old enough to play the character. He was considering
|
|||
|
|
two other boys for the part, but Fox inked Culkin instead and delayed the
|
|||
|
|
picture. Lehmann will not direct. Mary Steenburgen's participation is up
|
|||
|
|
in the air, too. Culkin will get somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.5-$2

plastic surgeon husband. Hawn is his mistress. Both women swallow a

potion they think will grant them eternal youth. However their bodies die

Warner Brothers very successfully tested a 35mm reduction print of the 70mm
|
|||
|
|
workprint that was previewed before the original 1982 theatrical release of
|
|||
|
|
BLADE RUNNER. Lack of narration, lack of upbeat ending and different cuts make
|
|||
|
|
for superior film than the originally released product. Scott will complete
|
|||
|
|
that version for theatrical exposure in 1992, then home video. WB is
|
|||
|
|
apparently treating this as a new film for the reissue, which may be a mistake.
|
|||
|
|
Film has been postponed from 2/14/92 to a date TBA. May be as late as the

Fall.

project away from Norman Jewison. Largo Entertainment distributes overseas.
|
|||
|
|
This is the first non-documentary to ever receive permission to shoot in

|
Mecca (2nd Unit). Will shoot in Cairo in mid-January. Nelson Mandela will
|
|||
|
|
be photographed in Soweto. Spike Lee and Denzel Washington (among others)
|
|||
|
|
are deferring salary in order to come in on budget. Lee wanted to shoot in
|
|||
|
|
65mm, but is shooting in Super 1.85 instead. D.P. Dickerson's directorial bow
|
|||
|
|
is JUICE, opening on 1/17/92 from Paramount. Film has gone several million
|
|||
|
|
over the original $25 million budget. Look for a three-hour running time, per
|
|||
|
|
Mr. Lee. Film is also known as ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Why would Warner Brothers finance another picture from Yahoo Serious after

the U.S. disaster that was YOUNG EINSTEIN? Because the film is very

inexpensive ($7.9 million), and he is very popular Down Under, that's why.

|
|
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 ran a epic 178 minutes and
|
|||
|
|
apparently seems somewhat truncated at that length. Wenders cut 21 minutes
|
|||
|
|
from the film for the American release. 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 1991. Reviews in Berlin were
|
|||
|
|
dreadful, they loved it in Munich. Opened on Christmas, 1991 in New York, Los
|
|||
|
|
Angeles and Toronto.
