@Nobel Son: I'll ask as soon as I talk back to him :D

I'm surprised to hear the were releasing it in October and have only now hit a problem. Most of the schedules for this year are done, and OG hadn't appeared on any of them :/

Would be good to see it soon though, tbh right now I don't really care if it goes straight to DVD.

Truefan · 08-15-2007, 12:52 PM

For what I've been told, they've been with that problem since may and they've kept trying to solve it until august, and finally they decided to take august on vacation to start again in september. It seems the scene involves some giant fireflies and they try to achieve a realistic scene... And this delay is keeping the postproduction stucked.
And at least in Spain will be released on theaters, and it's planned to have it on cinemas in the US

An October release seems like a good time to show it. Thanks for the info.

**eliza'snumber1fan** · 08-15-2007, 02:13 PM

October would be good time...arhh but which october is it?

thanks for all the info.

Keri · 08-15-2007, 05:16 PM

Maybe keep your diary clear for October 2010 at this rate Si :(

Nobel_Son · 08-15-2007, 05:20 PM

Wasn't Captivity released in Spain before the US? I wonder if that's what's going to happen with OG.

Truefan · 08-16-2007, 05:26 AM

I think so... It was released here early this year, but it was in theaters a short time....

**andrew r** · 08-17-2007, 03:41 PM

You're right, it could be a Spanish release first. We'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I tried to find the Open Graves thread but I couldnt...please tell me if I am blind!

But I saw this on TrueFan

Nobel_Son · 11-05-2007, 12:14 AM

Great picture, but I'm really frustrated with this movie. It's the only one we haven't heard anything about for more than a year now. Urgh.

Tash the Vampire Slayer · 11-05-2007, 04:48 AM

I know but that pic...makes up for it!

Truefan · 11-05-2007, 04:51 AM

Spanish productions... If you lived here you would be used to it... Here everything is very different, and the truth is, speaking of movies, everything is too slow.... Btw, one of the actors told me two weeks ago the movie is still in postproduction, and he doesn't know anything on the release...

ThisYearsGuy · 11-05-2007, 05:49 AM

Ooh cool - thanks for the linky!

You know, I have Open Graves folder under Eliza's 2007 movies on my comp - I'm thinking that's gonna have to be moved to 2008 shortly lol.

**eliza'snumber1fan** · 11-05-2007, 08:10 AM

Thanks true-fan for the info

It will probably come out in january with all the other films??? lol ELIZA over-load!!

edit: thanks for the pic,tash...*hugs*

Keri · 11-05-2007, 08:13 AM

Heh, I predict straight to DVD. Let's be honest, it sounds pretty formulaic... would we honestly be interested if Eliza wasn't in it??

The Open Graves thread is here btw, not sure why it got unstickied?

**eliza'snumber1fan** · 11-05-2007, 08:22 AM

Not in Spain. Spanish movies don't go straight to DVD cause the Goverment invest a lot of money in the spanish productions to make those productions able of competing with foreign productions. So at least in Spain we will watch the movie on theaters.
The release date for the movie was going to be Halloween or early 2008, but due to the problems of postproduction with one scene with giant fireflies, I guess they are going for January for USA release, march for the Spanish one.
I think it's normal, the delay. I mean, Spanish productions do not have important special effects, we have got dramas, or comedies, but our scary movies are veeery simple, and as we don't have complicated effects in our movies, we don't have enough or good enterprises for creating them, so... but let's hope they fix the problem and we can see the movie soon ;)

See... it just sounds better and better the more I read... lol

Truefan · 11-05-2007, 09:13 AM

Nope, none of them. We just have a few movies per year, and a big part of the budge is 'donated' by the goverment, and another big part for the 3 big tv channels here. This way, the goverment ensure the movie will be released on theater (a theather, for working, must show a certain number per year of spanish movies, that is more or less the same number than the spanis movies made that year (this way they can ensure the numbers of screenings needed in some international contests and thigs like that), and the tv channels ensure the movie will be shown on tv (generally a lot of times). After that, it goes to dvd, but not really soon, here dvd market goes veeery slowly, and the goverment and the channels wouldn't allow the movie goes to dvd without the previous phases...
