Re: ¿Cuándo sale 'Hero' en DVD?
Últimas noticias sobre "Shaolin Soccer": según ha comentado hoy el product manager de Manga Films en un chat moderado, Lauren Films ha comprado los derechos a Miramax. Por lo tanto, tendremos esra película por estos lares... en versión cortada y idiotizadamente yanki. <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/smiley.gif ALT=":)">

Re: Hero se sube a la mula
Entrevista/chat con Hideo Nakata:
<blockquote>Quote:<hr>French critics always refered to Jacques Tourneur about your work. I don't agree with that. What was your film background ?
As a child my first contacts with movie was television. I saw there many europeans films. Before college I began to go to movies, alone or with friends. At this time my favorite directors were David Lean and François Truffaut. Later I began to appreciate american cinema. I was very fond of Clint Eastwood, Sam Peckinpah or Don Siegel's films. At last I discoverd japanese movies by attending the class of Shigeriko Asumi at university. He fed my film culture by showing me many classics, Japanese or foreign ones. I assume these class had deep influenced my work.
Isn't there a misunderstanding about your films ? Aren't they stories on female condition using genre ?
I don't do it consciously but I found making films about female characters more incentive. In the absolute, my films are portraits of women fighting to the extreme for surviving. Even if, in Ring my main character has to sacrifice his father for his son to live. In Dark Water, I don't think the mother gives her daughter up : she chooses to stay with the ghost so her child could stay alive.
With the triumphal success of Ring, you became an influence for many directors.
I absolutely didn't expect the success of Ring. I was very worried when it was released in Japan than it could ever gain enough money to cover its production costs. Learning its triumph in Hong-kong then in europe, that hollywood want to do a remake even if the film wasn't released in theaters there comforted me. As up as today I'm glad to be worldly known as the director of Ring but this horror director label also bothers me. Paradoxically it the international success of US Ring's remake that will allow me to direct films from other kinds of genre. I'm now in talks to do another kind of film I'll direct in USA, I'm lucky that my interlocutors there had seen not only Ring and Dark water but also Chaos or others of my films which aren't horror films.
The ring isn't the only remake of your films in preparation. How do you deal with this american réappropiation ?
I've done eight films. The remake rights of four had been bought. This is excessive but demonstrates how Hollywood lacks of original, interesting projects, new ideas. When John Sturges did The 7 magnificents from Kurosawa' s 7 samouraïs, he gave birth to a film rooted in the western american culture, different from its inspiration. To me that's the good way to go. If it's about doing copycats of foreigns films, I'm afraid that in the end films will be standardized. I'd like Hollywood to do films revealing a truly american identity.
Those last years, occidental producers get an huge interest in asian movies and talents. According to you, why ?
More than some exotism, it has revealed the greed of american cinema, who after using europeans directors at the Studios era, like Hitchcock or Fritz Lang, tried to renew it seraglio by seducing next european generation of directors like Luc Besson or Renny Harlin. Then, they esteem it wasn't enough and went picking in the asian breeding ground. This phenomenon extend beyond Hollywood to lead to some kind of globalization. Now co-productions between studios and countries are needed to finance blockbusters or huge films. That leads movies to be tasteless, countries identities being erased. This begins to happen in Asia : My latest movie, The last scene, is japanese by heart but entirely produced by korean money.
Were you consulted on the US's Ring ?
Only about the scene where Sadako steps outside the TV set. The american crew wanted to know how I shot it. The japanese production system doesn't allow the directors to express any opinion on their films remakes, or to the sell of their remake rights : we don't own them. Maybe it will be diffrerent on the american remake of Dark Water : I 've been asked to direct it. Although I'm définitely not interested in doing the same film again I'm not sure this is the will of the studio producing it.
How do you explain that there are scenes in your Ring, and the american one that look exactly the same but don't produce the same effect of terror ?
Filming in the same way and same technical means a women brushing her long dark hairs or water won't have the same impact according to who is filming. Just because of their meanings : in my country, ancestral values makes that long dark hairs equals some fear from beyond, water remembers the fear of Japan to be flooded over. It's some kind of genetic heritage, then logical it appears when in a Japanese films whereas because of his culture it won't affect a westerner filming the same things.
Does being now known worldy gives you the artistic freedom you want ?
Absolutely not. Nowadays the ghost stories fashion is fading in Asia. Even if I anyway got proposals of work from other countries in Asia or from Hollywood, I'm labeled horror film director so I got difficulties to work as I wish. I know I won't have much freedom of manouvre with my first american film. I will reach it only if it has enough success. To my ideal, I'd like to work in both Japan and America.
Few days after this conversation, when Nakata-San went to get his first award, he tried to explain to audience that he was fed up with ghost storys. When he went for the third time on scene he announced that he has agreed to do another one for his japanese producers. I felt some irony, almost melancholy in his words.<hr></blockquote>
Vamos, que le han propuesto dirigir el remake de Dark Water (penoso...) a lo que el evidentemente se ha negado... Hay que ver lo que son las cosas...

A mí me ha gustado la siguiente frase:
<blockquote>Quote:<hr>I've done eight films. The remake rights of four had been bought. This is excessive but demonstrates how Hollywood lacks of original, interesting projects, new ideas.<hr></blockquote>
Cierto, Hideo, totalmente falto de ideas. Y no solo no tienen ideas sino que encima joden a los pocos que tienen, llevándoselos a EEUU para acabar con su brillante carrera.

Caray, esa entrevista a Hideo Nakata es digna de estar en la portada de MundoDVD (en castellano, claro). Bastaría con citar la fuente, ¿no?<img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/smiley.gif ALT=":)">

La peli china que he visto esta tarde
Esta tarde ha tocado sesión de cine oriental con una de Jet Li: "Doble Mortal (Meltdown), editada en nuestro país por Columbia.
http://www.iespana.es/webtxusdvd/doblemortal_pt.jpeg
La peli es una comedieta de acción y el argumento seguro que os sonará un montón. Jet Li es Kit Li, un militar a quien un grupo terrorista mandado por un tal Doctor, le asesisan su familia. Años más tarde trabaja como guardespaldas/doble de una estrella del cine "que no usa nunca dobles" (una mezcla de Jet Li y Jackie Chan).
Durante una cena en un elegante edificio en la que se mostraban unas valiosísimas joyas, el grupo terrorista vuelve a atacar, secuestrando a todos los que se encontraban en el edificio, suplantando al personal de seguridad, y con un técnico informática encargado de abrir las cajas fuertes. Jet Li, claro está, consigue escapar, así como la estrella, que va dando tumbos arriba y abajo.
El argumento es claramente una parodia de "Jungla de Cristal", hasta el personaje de la estrella de cine dice: "esto me recuerda a algo". <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/smiley.gif ALT=":)"> Una película para pasar la tarde, y para comprobar qué tal se desenvuelve Jet Li en el papel de Bruce Willis (hasta estrella un helicóptero dentro del edificio).
El pero de esta edición, y de todas las de Jet Li de su etapa de Hong Kong que está editando Columbia ahora, es que no lleva la pista de audio en cantonés, sino un doblaje en inglés guarrísimo que no coincide con las bocas ni queriendo (me parece que Jet Li se dobla a él mismo).
Esta película tiene un gran pero: mientras en la contraportada anuncian un español DD 5.1, resulta ser un DD 2.0, con lo cual hay dos opciones: o hacer servir el Prologic II (que da una buena sensación), o la miras en italiano (que es lo que he hecho), ya que el doblaje inglés es infame.

Re: La peli china que he visto esta tarde
Te puedo decir que "Dark Eye" es anamórfica, de "The Eye" no lo sé, pero me supongo que lo debe ser.
Por cierto, que ando buscando la edición extendida de "Shaolin Soccer" (en el post de lanzamientos ya lo he comentado) y me preguntaba donde me saldría mejor comprarla: en YesAsia o en Coolashop. Comparando precios veo que salen a la par, ¿qué tienda es mejor? ¿Se puede encontrar "Shaolin Soccer" por menos de los 10.35/10.25 $ que parece que cuesta ahora? ¿El dólar bajará más aún? <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">
Edito: me acabo de dar cuenta que en Coolashop no tienen la edición DTS de la peli. En fin <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/shifty.gif ALT=":[">
Bueno, os dejo, voy a revisionar "Battle Royal", ahora no hará falta que esté pendiente por los subtítulos... ¡japonés a pelo! <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/laugh4.gif ALT=":lol">

Re: .......................
¿Qué sabéis de "Infernal affairs" con Andy Lau y Tony Leung? Es que he visto una mini-review gráfica en DVDRama y parece que tenga buena pinta: Infernal Affairs.
Viendo las tiendas chinas veo que no es de las baratas, precisamente, aunque en nuestro país sí que lo sería. Y es que ayer estuve "visitando" la página número 2 de este monumental hilo llamado "Cine Made in Asia" y me dio por visitar estas tiendas <img src=https://www.mundodvd.com/forum/emoticons/smiley.gif ALT=":)">
Ahí van un par de fotos sacadas de DVDRama:
