:: Day Zero was one of the films featured at The American Film Festival in Moscow and was a great succes there. Producer Anthony Moody was so kind to send us his report. "Got back from Moscow yesterday -- what an incredible 5 days. Bryan [Gunnar Cole, director] and I literally barely slept at all. In the midst of it all we had two fantastic screenings of Day Zero. They were well attended with extremely eager/interested Q&A afterwards (including some requests for Elijah's phone number...)
I had no idea what to expect re: the reaction to the film by a Russian audience. But if the festival crowd was any indication, the film definitely plays there, especially among younger (call it age 15-35) people. Interestingly, rather than subtitle, the festival did real-time translation ala the United Nations -- a translator sat in a booth with a written transcript (which we provided) that had been translated ahead of time. And the audience listened through little headsets which were provided for free.
Anyway, an unforgettable time in an incredible city.
I'm back in NYC for a few days, then off to Europe for Barcelona, London, and Lyon...." A short clip including an interview with director Bryan can be found here
:: An new Oxford Murders poster showed up that seemed to be legit. It can be found on our OM movie stills page. And there's more... sssneaking found a teaser trailer of the film! Let's hope we'll get a real trailer soon.
:: Don't forget to listen to BBC Radio 1 tonight. Elijah will be hosting a two hour special in honor of John Peel. The program airs at at 10PM BST and 5PM EST. There's also an article that explains why Elijah was chosen to host the show. "as part of the 40th Birthday celebrations, Elijah Wood is presenting a programme called Keeping It Peel. This isn't totally inappropriate - Wood had been lined up as a guest host to cover what turned out to be Peel's final holiday - but the attaching of a Hollywood name to the Peel show demonstrates how far from "Keeping It Peel" the network has drifted."
:: We also have a number of new pics for you: From the Happy Feet Press Conference, some hi-res pics from the Green Street Hooligans Photo Shoot & Screening, in 2005 and a few from the Everything is Illuminated Press Conference. Special thanks to Karin for finding those.
:: If you haven't voted for the new header yet, you have until midnight EST tonight to do so.
That's it. More in a week or so.
