C'est dingue un film qui n'a aucune promo comme ça. Ils foutent quoi à Paramount? En plus Fincher, c'est la réunion des gros fans, il suffit de voir les réponses aux messages sur le moindre truc concernant le film.

Ils vont pas rater Gyllenhaal "Academy Award Nominee" quoi...après, oui, Downey Jr, Ruffalo et Edwards, ça vent pas forcément.

Dreamworks + Paramount. Et c'est DW qui distribue sur les US.

Babel
Produit en indépendant. Paramount ne fait que distribuer et ce, par sa filiale Vantage, pas par Paramount Pictures.

Bah, peut-être que Fincher a envie de faire son Kubrick et d'entretenir le mystère jusqu'au bout.

Dreamworks appartient à Paramount,non?

Oui, mais pour la promo oscar, c'est du pognon à donner pour l'oscar de Brad Pitt.

Ouais mais ça marche pas comme ça.

Qui montera donc sur scène si The Departed gagne. C'est énorme.

From Hollywood Elsewhere:
A filmmaker friend has passed along some info about David Fincher and Zodiac, by way of an editor pal who knows a sound mixer who worked on Zodiac a while back.
"This girl is very smart and cool," this guy says. "She's very much the San Franciso arty girl who hates a lot of Hollywood shit and is funny talking about working on all the shit she does. Anyway, she said Zodiac is fucking brilliant and so amazing and smart. I really, really trust this girl. She says the movie is great and that George Lucas was blown away by it.

"She also said that Robert Downey, Jr. gives an incredible Oscar-level performance.

"But here's my favorite detail. The first half of the movie, which takes place in the late '60s, is mixed mono when all of radio was AM and with the advent of FM, in the chronology of the film as the calendar moves into the '70s, the movie turns stereo. Such a great idea. She said that Fincher has the best ears of anyone other than David Lynch.

"The other point to make here is that if Zodiac sucked there's noway Dreamamount would ever greenlight Fincher's Benjamin Button project, which will star Brad Pitt."

"This makes it a film that will be noticed and have an effect on the way that other majors make movies."

Although I just had a few lines with one other actor (one of the stars of the film), we spent what felt like hours on my scene. We did about 10 takes with minor variations, then Mr. Fincher paused to watch the scenes on playback, then we did 10 more takes and he broke for a long time to watch again. Then we did 10 more takes. Then we broke and went through the whole multiple process again with the other actor after changing the lighting around and moving to another wall of the set for their background. During the first break, the actor said to me, "Don't worry.
It's not that you're not getting it right, this is just how he works. He likes
to have lots of choices."

I know David Fincher once, I have heard this story from several people, they offered him Air Force One, and he went into the meeting and said, "You know I'm different than other directors" and he said, "I want to do the whole movie without any dialogue" and the producers were telling the story laughing, like "How crazy is that" and I go "He's a genius" because you know there's no reason why Harrison Ford has to talk to the subtitled Russians, and I don't remember anything worthwhile knowing from what the Russians were saying. You know he's down there in the boat and they're up there and he strikes from there, "First Blood" again, it gets you back to that. When I saw that when I was a kid, I went like, "Well that's a great B-movie, but it's also true cinema to me."

C'est David Shire qui fait la musique, le compositeur de conversation secrète, les hommes du Président...Donc pour l'ambiance...
