There's always room for GIALLO

[Roderick Usher]

GIALLO trailer - http://hannibalpictures.com/films/giallo_360.html

It's a sales trailer, so it's a little long, it hasn't been color-corrected and it has a temporary score. I posted it in the "new trailers" but I thought all of you would want to take a look.

I'm very proud.:D

I may have to take this post down, so please don't use the quote function on the trailer link - it makes it very difficult for me to remove things.

Enjoy

[neverending]

As I mentioned in the other thread- this looks AWESOME! Very atmospheric and plenty of Argento gore. I'm very excited to see this! I hope it will get a decent release!

[Vodstok]

DUDE!

Did he he stick clippers up her nose?!

You should be proud, that is awesome...


Dont mind me, I am basking in reflected glory....

[newb]

Very cool Sean. I actually want to see it because of the trailer......not because I'm best friends with one of the writers.



We are friends aren't we.....I mean if I walk into the theater with my wife and tell them "This is my buddy's movie...we get in for free" their not gonna toss me out....right?


seriously......best of luck...this could catapult your career.


just don't forget about us

[Roderick Usher]

just don't forget about us


Who? What?

Who are all you people?

Hey you kids, get off my lawn!

[crabapple]

Heh heh! Sweet deal, Ed!

[The Flayed One]

Awesome. I'll be there opening night.

[alkytrio666]

Wow- this looks awesome! There looks to be plenty of Argento signatures but also a dark, bleak tone which seems very frightening- we'll call it the "Sean Keller formula".

Can't. Wait.

[kpropain]

Sean I can't wait to see it, the trailer looks so awesome, congrats man, I know you've got to be excited and proud. I wish you the best of luck my friend.

[_____V_____]

Looks delicious. I cant wait to taste the real dish.

[fortunato]

Egad! Sean, it truly looks fantastic!
I'd better be able to see it opening night or something awful is going to happen. :mad:

[urgeok2]

i dont want to see the trailer ... so i can see the film fresh

is there a release date yet ?

[pinkfloyd45769]

Thats so cool:D I will have to see this!!!Good luck!;)

[Roderick Usher]

Thank you all for the kind words.

There is no release date set. The trailer is a sales promo to help us lock down a domestic distribution deal. I'll keep you all posted as events develop, but we do have a rather sweet premiere planned... more on that as plans solidify.

here's a link where you can biggify the image

so it'll be before the Toronto Horrorfest next year though ?

(where Mother of Tears premiered)

[pinkfloyd45769]

I gotta say,Adrian Brody is hotttttttt!!!!!:D

[ferretchucker]

That seriously looks amazing! You got any idea what kind of release this will get, because if it's in cinemas and pretty big, I can't wait to tell people that I converse with the guy who wrote it.

[bwind22]

Way to go Sean. Looks awesome! Keep 'em coming.

[missmacabre]

Sean I would have used your provided link but there was no digg button. I submitted a story I found on icons of fright though.

http://digg.com/movies/First_Footage_of_Dario_Argento_s_Giallo

Digg it if you want. I did say it would premiere at Cannes because I read that on here and was under the impression that was the plan, then I read this thread. If that's not the case I'm sure I can fix that.

[Roderick Usher]

it might and it might not... either way, you said it not me, so it's just an "internet rumor";)

[bwind22]

I'm gonna start up an internet rumor that Sean Keller is up for double Oscar consideration this year for his scripts, Giallo and LA Gothic. I hope you don't mind. :D

By the way, some douchebag posted on the LA Gothic imdb page calling JC the Master of Disappointment and then about twenty other people jumped down his throat calling him (the poster) just about every name in the book. Kinda funny to read through if you're ever bored.

[GorePhobia]

Wow....just WOW!

I am so glad they made your script into a film, Sean.

It looks absolutely stunning and I will also be there the day it is released. I will even go to a midnight screening if they have one.

I am so proud of you man.

[illdojo]

Talk about bragging rights. :cool:
Good for you, Sean!! I can't wait to see it.

[Roderick Usher]

Talk about bragging rights. :cool:

I'm sure I'll be bragging about it for some time to come;)

And wait till you hear what we're doing with him next!

[The Flayed One]

And wait till you hear what we're doing with him next!

Kraken 2009: The Moat?

[_____V_____]

And wait till you hear what we're doing with him next!

Attack of the 5-headed Krako-Grypho-Mammoth? ;)

But seriously, a promising career and future awaits you, bud. All the best.

Hope you fulfill my dream someday and write Alien 5 into a cracking script for a kickass filmmaker.

[roshiq]

Waiting for the dvd release...at least a pirated one!:o

Brody talks GIALLO


Yes, I am going to keep spamming this film non-stop until the film comes out.

[newb]

[ quote: Brody also takes a producer credit on GIALLO and reportedly had a heavy hand in all aspects of the project, from casting to rewriting ]

I hope you told him to "fuck off" :D

[urgeok2]

i see some chatter about this on the fangoria forum as well

[neverending]

Well, Brody's an actor- of course he takes credit for everything.

Meh... It's no Kraken. But then again, what is?..

Sure am looking forward to Miss Nobody tho. ;) :D

[Doc Faustus]

Once more, congrats, man! I can't imagine how it feels.

[Roderick Usher]

[ quote: Brody also takes a producer credit on GIALLO and reportedly had a heavy hand in all aspects of the project, from casting to rewriting ]

I hope you told him to "fuck off" :D

Never. Brody was cool and was very particualr about the nuances of his dialog, so he was very "hands on." Which is a great thing. I love that an actor cares enough to fine-tune a character to best fit his/her strengths - I have absolutely no ego about my writing. If a little tweak makes a better film, then we do the work.

The funny thing is that, structurally, nothing changed from the draft we sent to Dario to the shoting script and we only lost one scene to rewrites - which was simply consolidated into another scene.

[Roderick Usher]

Sure am looking forward to Miss Nobody tho. ;) :D

Miss Nobody looks great. It's almost like a Coen Bros version of THE TEMP

i think he's a great choice for a Giallo .. he has that thin, dark unassuming regular guy look that is popular in those films.

Just a regular guy swept up in unusual circumstances. (who eventually has to find and inner strength - and sometimes an inner demon - and rise to the occasion) I completely understood the casting choice as soon as i heard it.

[Roderick Usher]

This is freaking me out!

http://www.myspace.com/giallosymphonicfilmscore

Check out some samples of the score... it's a full symphonic score - with actual melodies!
As a musician turned screenwriter I have to say that this is the coolest thing about the film so far. An actual score to the movie I co-wrote! I still haven't seen the entire film, but I'm supposed to see a screening of it next week.

I'm getting more and more excited about this!!!!!

Holy shit that's fantastic......I have nothing to do with this movie and I had a little movement in my genital area......you must be walking around with a huge boner.







remember....if it last longer than 4 hours.....go see a doctor

[hammerfan]

Fantastic music! I'm really excited to see this. This will be one of the few movies that I go to the theater to see.

[Roderick Usher]

not exactly at full turgidity, but when I hear the music I do get a little flutter downstairs

[bwind22]

I'm out the door to work so I can't listen to it right now, but I'm guessing it must sound like porn music from all the genital motion going on here.

[missmacabre]

The score sounds wonderful so far. :)

[Roderick Usher]

quick update --

I still have not seen the movie. :mad:
There is a single 35mm print in existance and it has been screened for several distrubuters her in Hollywood (with really positive response) and now the print is in Europe screening for European distributors and (as rumor would have it) a certain American director who asked to see it while he's still filming in Germany.

I should be seeing it soon and I'm freaking out.

But...I just got the full soudtrack in the mail from composer Marco Werba. Such wonderful stuff. He did a fantastic job and I'm sure he is soon to be well-known film composer. The soundtrack will be released on the Varese Sarabande label - no release date set as of yet.

Still no confirmed word on a release date for the film - I will let you all know just as soon as I do.

[Elvis_Christ]

Varese Sarabande bring out some great stuff.

Any word on the Australasian release? After Mother Of Tears I'm really excited about checking this one out.

Anticipation, for sure.

Looking forward to a lengthy review from you.

[Roderick Usher]

no Cannes Film Festival for GIALLO so...

Scotland gets to see it first!

http://www.edfilmfest.org.uk/news/2009/04/festival-firsts-whet-the-appetite

GIALLO will have its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Fest as part of the Night Moves series

"Night Moves features a World Premiere of genre legend Dario Argento's latest, Giallo, and a UK Premiere for the eagerly-awaited blaxploitation pastiche, Black Dynamite."

Hey Rod, I will be buying a ticket soon as they go on sale, I hope to see you there.

I don't think Rod's gonna be there though.

[Roderick Usher]

I'm going to try to make it... I should be coming into some money soon!;)

[Disease]

So I was just looking at the festival website, it is showing at Filmhouse 1, it seats 280 people, tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon. I will being going to pick mine up after work on Saturday night.

It's not on till 10:15 either, So it looks like I will be spending the night. I might have to coax a friend from the capital along.

[neverending]

What a lucky guy! I wish I could be there!

American Idol tour starts here in Portland though, so... :confused:

http://retroslashers.net/blog/spaghetti-slashers-giallo/

a cool article on GIALLO and, in case some of you missed the other news....

"Dario Argento’s GIALLO has two fans in Roth and Quentin Tarantino. They watched it at Tarantino’s house the other week and had a great time with the story of a missing airhostess’ sister being tortured by a creepy yellow maniac in Turin’s gasworks."


http://www.frightfest.co.uk/pcfc17thmay09.html

[Elvis_Christ]

Did they send a print around to people that might be interested in getting it screened etc?

[Roderick Usher]

Did they send a print around to people that might be interested in getting it screened etc?

There is a single 35mm print of the film right now. No digital version exists.

Distributers are lining up I'l let you know about release dates as they come together.

Anyone going to be in Spain in October? GIALLO is playing the Sitges Festival (a fabulous genre film fest) which is just outside Barcelona.

[Elvis_Christ]

It's been really interesting seeing all this come together. There's quite a lot of work goes in before a film is released! You must be hanging out to see the finished product! You'll be sipping cocktails with Tarantino in no time bro :D

http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/2009/05/26/yellow-fever-sean-keller-on-writing-giallo-for-dario-argento/

an interview with... ME

[newb]

Very nice interview, Sean. But it should have read like this....

Not content to limit himself to writing for the screen, Sean Keller occupies his time pursuing other creative outlets and ways to explore and hone his craft. ‘I write as much as I can in as many varied formats as possible’, he explains. ‘I am trying to publish a volume of creepy kids’ poems called Underneath the Bed, and I’m writing comic book scripts too. I have also published a couple of short stories and I’m writing songs for an upcoming album. I also am a member of the best "horror" forum on the internet. HDC or Horror.Com , which I get many of my ideas from because the posters there are wonderful, especially newb.

[urgeok2]

does your writing partner really duck the spotlight ?

So are you going to make it to Edinburgh....

I ahve my tickets, well one for me and one for my lady that evening...

[The_Return]

Very cool article man...now I'm even more looking forward to seeing this.

[Roderick Usher]

So are you going to make it to Edinburgh....

I ahve my tickets, well one for me and one for my lady that evening...

sadly, I will not be going to Edinburgh. Can't afford it and I'm busy pitching a Zombie movie a Biker movie and two other things that I can't even remember right now.

And Ridley Scott just squashed one of my projects, which pissed me off for a minute then it occurred to me that Ridley Scott knows who I am now:D

[Haunted]

You've either been pissed off or on, man. No... wait...

I want to see Giallo. I don't know that it will come to Shitburg USA, which is where I live, but I'll buy it off Amazon. Is it going to be a big release or a small one? Looks divine, S. Am very proud of you.

[missmacabre]

oooh just found this Italian Vogue photo shoot with Asia Argento and Adrien Brody. Thought maybe it was a wee bit related for posting here. http://claire.belliard.free.fr/claire_lindbergh/claire_lindbergh2/lind48.html

The Thursday night screening of GIALLO is sold out, so they added another screening on Sunday Night!

[bwind22]

That's awesome that the demand for your film is so high! I bet the anxiety of seeing how it is received is killing you right now. (I know it'd be killing me.) Or are you too busy working on other projects to be sterssing over this one?

[Roderick Usher]

It really isn't bothering me. I'm so loony with projects right now that I don't have much time to worry about that which I cannot control.

I'll probably have an attack of nerves Thursday afternoon, but right now, I'm cool.

I just can't wait to announce the next bit of news. This week I have been interrogating a couple of badass ex-LAPD, drinking beers and listening to tales of shootouts, kidnappings, car chases and assainations.

[missmacabre]

I would say that that's a very wordy but good review. I'm happy to hear there is no cgi gore and hearing a bit more about the plot has got me super excited.

[MisterSadistro]

Congrats. Hope it's better than the user comments on IMDB suggest.

[neverending]

Bah- IMDB Morons.

[Disease]

Well, Last night was pretty damn good, the Audience gave a sincere round of Aplause at the end.

I was pretty impresed, it kept me entertained, I wasn't sure how my friend was taking all the brutality at first, then I rememberd she was German.

I don't want to give much away, but I'm sure the rest of HDC are going to have a great time viewing it as well....

Good luck with it's success...

[Roderick Usher]

And we've been getting SLAMMED by critics. Kind of funny, kind of sad.

Ain't it Cool News called it "the best bad movie I've ever seen"

Twitch Film called it "one of the most purely entertaining films I've seen in years"

I just wish the festival director at Fright Fest hadn't slammed it right before the screening.

I never listen to critics or other people's opinions. They rarely coincide with my opinion.

There's a certain stigma with the later output of Argento, etc. It's like a lot of people make up their minds to hate it from the get go. If its anything like Sleepless or Mother of Tears I'm gonna love it.

I'm hoping I get a screener to review because a few of the critics/reviewers on the site I write for fit into that category...

Can't wait to check it out.

I know I ll love it (my immense love for giallos aside), and cant wait for it to release over here. You bet the moment these shores are hit by a print, it ll be mine.

Don't get too excited. The film is a mess. My hope is that at least it is an enjoyable mess, but I can't really get into the film... too many elements missing from the script

Oh well, Sean. At least you got to work with Dario. Most people in the biz can't say that, but you can. I still look forward to seeing it, bro.

Actually, that partially answers a question that I wanted to ask you.
I had read that Argento credited himself as both director and writer in the film's credits. I was going to ask you if you were upset about it, but seeing as how they totally changed it, I assume you're not to bummed.
The whole thing seems kind of shitty, though (and I mean the situation, not the film. I haven't seen the film yet, but I'm super-pumped.). Was Argento hard to work with or was it due to something/someone else?

Thats the charm of a giallo, doncha think? Gotta love red herrings!

Seriously though, I ll watch it nevertheless. I have a hunch it ll be just fine.

Dario didn't write anything. He simply cut stuff out.

Got it. I don't remember where I read that, but it just said that he had credited himself as writer. Do you know why he cut stuff out?

You could try making Wes Craven good again. Like People Under the Stairs good.

That would be very cool. He's one of the old school greats that I haven't yet met. Haven't met Cronenberg yet either, and he's one of my idols.

Because he's the director and at the end of the day it is his film. The director will take credit for greatness and take the heat for weakness... and rightly so.

Writers like me get all offended by it, but we don't bear the burden the director doea so we really have no right to bitch.

[zombie ash]

looks like it will be worth a watch. im in the mood for some suspiria right about now.

[Roderick Usher]

the consensus is that GIALLO was the worst film of Fright Fest:(

oh well

at least we tried

Sorry, Sean. Well, I still think it's amazing that you got to work with one of your idols... And I'm still pumped to see the movie. From what I've read you have to be a fan of the genre to enjoy the movie... Maybe there just weren't enough genre enthusiasts. Or maybe they're just MORONS! :p:cool:

[ProfondoXxRosso]

Im so excited about this one I cant wait !

[newb]

Not a bad movie....I thought Brody kinda slept walked through it.....[ yeah...I got the whole "trauma" thing he went through ] he just didn't sell it.


and the ending was a bit weak....they definitely changed it from the script.

still.....I would give it a 6 to 7 out of 10.
