Hier après-midi au taf, Philippe Bruneau, a qui j'ai pu soutirer quelques détails sur le tournage du sketch de la bougie dans Les secrets professionnels du Dr Apfelglück. Des années d'attente récompensées.
Ca charde là-haut.
Mais oui!!! Si tu savais comment je me suis retenu...
Et donc scène véritablement toutrnée à Cinecittà.
Pour le côté
Hush-hush, avec Gélin c'était l'éclate totale, et Véronique Genest était déjà une grosse conne.

Et cet après-midi j'ai passé un bon moment avec Darius Khondji. Mec très sympa, classe et qui en impose discrètement.
On a un peu parlé de SE7EN, de Chéri, mais je n'ai pas osé me lancer sur le chapitre Panic Room.
Fallait là.
Ben disons que pour un 1er contact je me suis pas trop senti.
Ci-dessous un article de Persian Mirror qui détaille le contexte. Mais bon j'aimerai bien entendre l'histoire from the horse's mouth...
"This was Khondji’s second collaboration with David Fincher both of whom had greatly benefited from
SE7EN in terms of critical and professional recognition.
Panic Room, was nevertheless, going to prove a disastrous one for both and end their friendship due to pressures during the shoot. Digitally shot in a Studio, the entire set was virtual. Fincher had suggested him to work on
Fight Club but he was not available at the time. When they started shooting
Panic Room, Fincher was totally obsessed. According to Khondji, Fincher had great ideas on paper and the planning was well organized but when they started to shoot with Nicole Kidman, she happened to be at a turning point in her life (divorce with Tom Cruise) and after 2 weeks of shooting she quits ! People at Sony Pictures were furious and decided to replace her by a Pin Up Girl Starlet but Fincher managed to impose Jodie Foster. Khondji supported this choice and the Studio inclined. However they had already been extremely delayed since Kidman’s departure and had lots of reshoots to do. Fincher managed to obtain three extra weeks but that infuriated the People at Sony who decided to sue him for slowing down production. According to Khondji, Fincher very much like Kubrick is a perfectionist and still needed more time to be absolutely satisfied with the work. Some of the best Hollywood Technicians were working on the film at the time but nearly all were disappointed not to find the same genius who had made
SE7EN less than a decade ago. Things took a dramatic turn since the Studio needed a scapegoat and since they could not fire the producer who happened also to be Fincher’s wife, they turned their complaints towards Khondji who was fired halfway through the shoot. It was a humiliating situation and bitter moment in his career that put an end to their old friendship. Khondji blamed this on Fincher’s obsessed approach in shooting the scenes: Often 25 to 30 takes for each scene were not enough and he would do up to 60 takes to satisfy the director. After being replaced by another cinematographer, the problems continued and people at Sony recontacted Khondji’s agent to excuse themselves for having misjudged him but it was too late. Since then Khondji and Fincher have been at odds which is a pity given that
SE7EN was a milestone in both of their careers and their teamwork was to redefine much of the stylistic cinematography of the past decade in Hollywood."
Sinon aujourd'hui vu Roschdy Zem avec un bob bleu, et Christophe Salengro, qui sentait l'alcool.
