Most excellent Mr Apollo! Thanks for the great clipping/cap here. So it's starting production one month to the day? (I'm typing on the 12th). Great! Thanks for this again!

Thank you apollo.it's good to see anything about the movie

**andrew r** · 04-15-2008, 01:46 PM

^Yeah it is.

Quicky question: I found out yesterday another actress that I like's filming/filmed a segment for New York I Love You. It's a collection of short stories about the city. Just wondering why the heck Sarah's not got involved yet?

Yea..I thought of that too. But looking at the cast see it's folks from all over. Orlando Bloom, Shia LaBeouf, Robin Wright Penn, Rachel Bilson, Maggie Q, etc. don't exactly scream NY to me ;)

**andrew r** · 04-15-2008, 02:52 PM

No they don't. Well Scarlett Joahnsson is. SHame she and Sarah didn't team up. Couple of NYC gals. It'd have been interesting to see what they'd have done.

Thanks for the update, Apollo! I agree with Ed that this part seems made for Sarah.

**andrew r** · 04-16-2008, 02:25 PM

Yeah it does Pat. Hope it could be that breakthrough role for her (to those non Sarah fans!)

I belong to the Columbia House DVD club and when I got my catalog yesterday I was pleasantly surprised. They had each section begin with the "10 You Should Watch" and ST was in the Sci-Fi category!

onursmg · 04-27-2008, 01:04 PM

wow, that is great Pat.Thank you for letting us know.

onursmg · 04-27-2008, 05:25 PM

I have good news for you.I asked some questions and here are the answers

Q:In the book, Veronika wants to make people believe that she has killed herself because people don't even know where Slovenia is.But this movie will get shoot in New York.Will you adapt this into NY or add Slovenia in some way?
A:The story is now set in NY because the filmmakers wanted it to be more accessible to modern audiences. There is a universality to this story and the filmmakers wanted it to be as contemporary and identifiable to American audiences as possible. Veronika is now railing against the superficiality of the world and the emptiness she feels in her day to day life. It is a little deeper now.

Q:Will the characters have accent for their role?
A:Everyone will have an American accent in the film except for Veronika's parents who will have Slavic accents. There are a couple of international actors in the cast and since NY city is a melting pot of many different ethnicities and nationalities, a couple of the actors will have their own foreign accents such as Rena Owen (Once Were Warriors) who will play Nurse Blaska (now called Nurse Josephina).

Q:Lots of the sites(including PalmStar) didn't update the status about the movie and according to them, Kate Bosworth is still the lead.We hope they will change that.
A:The sites will be updated very soon.

Q:According to santjordi-asociados, Aidan Quinn and Bridget Fonda are in talks for other roles in the film though not yet confirmed.Is there any progress on it?
A:Actually that news is inaccurate. They were both in consideration for those roles but they are out of the picture now. Award winning British actor David Thewlis (Remus in the Harry Potter movies), will be playing Dr. Blake (Dr. Igor) and we are in talks with actress Embeth Davidtz (Schindler's List, Feast Of July, Mansfield Park, Junebug) to play Mari. Mari is made younger in the film.

Q:The release date will be 2008 or 2009?
A: The release date will be 2009.

Q:The last question:Some of the movie makers think the audience and make a good thing for them.They create a web site or a blog and then they are talking about the movie,the shootings,actors; adding pictures,telling stories about the shootings etc. Does anyone from your crew think to do that?
A:I will let the producers know that there is a desire for a website.

Thank you...again!

sarahbrazilianfan · 04-27-2008, 07:54 PM

Thanks Onur ! You rock !

...and cheers for the ST info Pat !

ohiofan · 04-27-2008, 09:19 PM

Great news, Onur!! This one sounds very promising and I hope it's marketed properly. I thought shooting this summer and released in the same year was a bit of a rush. 2009 will be better.

ohiofan · 04-27-2008, 11:39 PM

I was just channel surfing and on PBS there was an ad for "Nova". What caught my attention was the music. It was the Battle Theme from "Chosen" and the hair went straight up on the back of my neck. Nice to know it's found another venue!

eadweard · 04-28-2008, 12:56 AM

Very fierce, Pat; thanks!!

**andrew r** · 04-28-2008, 02:53 PM

Thanks for the info (again) onur, and the excellent wallie Pat!
