My name is Jessica, and I am 17 years old. I was just looking for a
site to meet some other "filmmakers". I am planning to attend college
to be a film director and just wanted to hear how other filmakers
were going about with their film goal. I am interested in hearing
what everyone has to say about the wonderful world of film.

I also went to film school in my country and I must
tell that you must be confident and persistent,you
should not try the impossible,be aware of that.Thigs
must be done step by step,don`t rush,plan everything
to the smallest detail so nobody can say later that
you don`t now what you want,or something like
that.Watch as many movies you can,listen to the
commentaries on the dvd`s,don`t be afraid to borrow
from other movies,if great directors like Tarantino or
Schrader can,why anybody else shouldn`t.
Good luck and believe in yourself.

I-Media Films – You Made This

Anyone heard anymore about how this is progressing?

A re-make is being done of the movie adaptation of Ray Bradbury's
Fahrenheit 451.

         http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360556/

Fahrenheit 451 (2005)


       Fahrenheit 451 is good.  It's an easy read.  I have two copies, as well
as the movie that was made in the sixties.  I could lend one of the books to
you or we could make a night of watching the movie.  Of course the movie is
very cheaply done.  Julie Christie plays both Montag's wife and his neighbour.

             It's about a world where free thought is restricted.  It was
written about the same time as George Orwell's Nineteen eighty-four only it has
a
more hopeful ending.   Fahrenheit 451 is supposed to be the precise
temperature at which book paper catches fire.  It's a world where books are
illegal.

              Candy Clark not only played Mary-Lou (Betty-Jo in the novel) in
The man who fell to Earth but also Thomas' alien wife (Marie) in The man who
fell to Earth, and in Fahrenhiet 451 Julie Cristie played both the hero's wife
and the girl next door.

              In the film it just may well have been very deliberate that
Candy Clark portrayed both Mary-Lou and Thomas' alien wife in The man who fell
to
  Earth- just as it was that Julie Christie played both Linda (Mildred in the
novel) and Guy Montag's lover Clarisse in the film adaptation of Fahrenheit
451, based on the classic science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury, produced by the
same production staff years back, as those who made The man who fell to
Earth, based on the science fiction classic by Walter Tevis.) It could have been
symbolic about how two things can be so very similar and yet so very different.
There were physical similarities but she was not his wife. And he did not love
her, at least not in the way that he should have. Perhaps that was, in the
film, the excuse for why Thomas Jerome Newton latched on to Mary-Lou, for the
familiarity and the similarities of the two.
           Also in Fahrenheit 451, the novel by Ray Bradbury, Clarisse was not
Guy Montag's lover but merely a companion, there was no sexual interest in
the novel. And in the novel Guy Montag's wife was named Mildred.  In the film it
was changed to Linda, just as Betty-Jo was changed to Mary-Lou in the film
adaptation of Walter Tevis' novel, The man who fell to Earth.

             Of course the name changes could have been for aesthetic reasons.
  Oddly, there's a Mary-Lou character in the Walter Tevis novel, Mockingbird,
which is an unoffical sequel to Fahrenheit 451.  And having one actress play
both roles in both movies could have just been a conservational tactic for the
movie's budget.

            In Fahrenheit 451 movie in the sixties Clarisse and Guy Montag's
relationship was changed in to something romantic, when originally it was not,
just as Mary-Lou (Betty-Jo) and Thomas Jerome Newton's relationship (which
was sort of platonic in the novel, though she tried to seduce him).

To all fellow Antheans:

In the Anchor Bay DVD reissue of THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, something curious
happens during the scene when Newton and Bryce meet in the limo to discuss the
"transference of energy."  The eerie view from the car leading to the spherical
spacecraft gets interrupted with a brief fade-in of the American flag-adorned
governmental building that later appears during the scenes between Peters and
the honchos who want him to take a "whiter view."  This is the first time I've
encountered this trick of the eye in all of my many, many viewings.  Does anyone
know whether Roeg inserted this later on?  Was it in the definitive print? Is
this a defect in Anchor Bay's mastering?  Or are these "waves in space" unique
to my television set?  Has anyone else noticed this?

Best regards,
Joseph

          I'll have to check the remastered two disc DVD and get back to you.
I never noticed that...

My God!  You're right!  I just saw it!  I never noticed that!  That's
not on any release before it!




[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I checked two video tapes, and the Anchor bay DVD.  It's only on the
DVD.  I think it must have been in the original print and only recently
re-installed.

Thanks.  I'm so glad I'm not the only one out there who knows about this.  I'm
astounded.  Perhaps this is Roeg having fun with our head all over again. -- JL

       I don't remember the scene selection very well.  I think it's in
'Meeting of the minds.'  It's as they're in the limousine going to see the
unfinished space craft at the construction of sight.

         'We share a common interst, Mr. Newton, photography.'

         'My interest in energy.  Transferrance of energy.''

        It's around there.

       It's a very brief scene but it's obviously deliberate.

Greetings all:

Tonite Oxygen network in the US premiered the episode "Book Clubbin'" of
Absolutely Fabulous.  It has a dream sequence where Edina is chasing a small
child (with red hat - not red mac) through the corridors of her house.  She
says something about De Maurier later on when she wakes up.  It went by so
fast I'll have to see it again.  The episode is being broadcast again on
Saturday afternoon on Oxygen (Channel 61 in NYC) at 2PM EST.

Brian

Walkabout is on BBC 1 on Tuesday night, at 12.05am.

Hello!

I'm looking forward to learning more about Mr Roeg through the group.

Does anyone have any info on "Chicago Loop"? It seems the IMDB have
never heard of it. Anything would be appreciated - I can't find much
at all on the web either. Thanks!

Sheri

It's based on a novel by Paul Theroux and was a film Roeg's name was
attached to in the 1990s somewhen. Like most films "in development" it was
never made.

Thanks for the info, Gary. I thought that might be the case, but then I was
totally confused when I spotted an ad for it in an old mag. It seems strange,
advertising a non-existent film. Also, it strikes me as a pity it never got
made. The combination of Roeg, Spader and Russell could have been quite
something IMO.

I was Visiting Upstate New York and I believe it was HBO family but I
thought some of you might like to know The Witches were on and it'll likely be
reshown within the next few weeks.

For what it's worth, 'Chicago Loop' bears distant echoes of Bret Easton
Ellis in his 'American Psycho' mode - not in terms of violence or overt
sexuality, but in its attention to rich, upwardly mobile American
professional vacuity, coming off the rails spectacularly. It's a great
novella, but very, very downbeat, a tough one to adapt and film (in plot
terms, but I won't give it away), and maybe the whole 'American Psycho'
screen adaptation passage was too uppermost in the minds of the
moneymen...

Anyway, it's dedicated to Roeg and Theresa Russell, and there's a
long-term link, I suppose, which has some background, if you ever
managed to read the loving article Theroux wrote about 'Walkabout' for
one of the UK broadsheet Sunday supplements in the 1990s (The
Independent, I think). Theroux's travelled to Australia enough - he
should know, if anyone does.

On the subject of 'Walkabout', I've just finished reading a great little
book in the Australian Screen Classics series (published by Currency
Press, ISBN 0868197009 - £6.99 in the UK) on 'Walkabout' by Louis Nowra.
It doesn't given masses of new insight, but is a good round-up of the
press about the film (especially the article from 'Cinema Papers', the
Australian film mag, which is not easy to find) and has some sensible
opinion, too.
And no, I have no connection to the author/publisher in any way !......

Jon

Hello,
could someone PLEASE tell me if it is worth taping this film for an extra one
minute? I read my vhs copy and it says 104 minutes long. the tv listing for 5
p.m. today says 105 minutes long.  I am hoping it is not longer because of just
commercials.  I guess it will probably be edited to shit but I was wondering if
anyone else has any opinions.  I guess it is not worth it but I had to try and
see what other people thought.
thanks for any info,
Liz
p.s. any word on the film FINALLY being released on dvd??? I mean it is only the
best film ever made, in my opinion. so many shoddy films have been released. it
is just such a shame that a work of art like Performance has not been released
yet. I have bad timing, walkabout, don't look now but not roeg's finest
achievement, in  my opinion.
thanks again to anyone who writes back. take care and peace after november 2004.

Mr. PF is the only person I know who has seen the version he discusses on
this list.

I do know that the 'one minute' is of Joey crawling out from under the
blankets and is a POV shot of Chas. looking down at Joey in a wide-angle shot.
I'm
clueless as to why it was taken out unless it seemed submissive or too
homosexual or something weird like that.

I don't think there's anything else to see. Announcements in The Times
are just lists of engagements, marriages, births, etc., usually without any
extra detail.

Mr Roeg has asked me to scotch a rumour regarding 'Adina'; contrary
to descriptions which you may have found on the net, Adina is not
a "psychological horror story". It is based in emotion rather than
psychology.
Best wishes
Andrew MacConnal-Mason

always nice to hear positive info on Roeg's Adina project.
have you any idea of the film production status of Adina?
