Author Topic: Film "Illusion" trailer (cinema projection box). Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 02-27-2006 08:19 AM                     Found this on a UK Forum. There is an excellent trailer for a new Kirk Douglas (yes Kirk) film called “Illusion”. The trailer opens with a cinema projection box and film vault. The story looks good too......... You will need Quicktime to view. Trailer.  |  IP: Logged Robert Burtcher Expert Film Handler Posts: 194 From: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Registered: Jun 2005 posted 02-28-2006 03:24 AM                     That looks awesome. I wonder if it will be picked up for a large limited or wide-release distribution?  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-01-2006 12:56 AM                        WOW! I guess this is going to have to replace CINEMA PARADISO as the projectionist's movie. Even after a stroke, Douglas is still totally riviting.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-01-2006 04:38 AM                        i saw that movie last week. it's garbage. kirk is definitely the best thing about it, but the material still makes him look pretty pathetic. shot on video, btw. carl  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 03-01-2006 08:39 AM                     That looks sweet  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 03-02-2006 02:50 AM                        foley for the projector and auditorium reference "noise" for this film was recorded at a theatre I was the chief projectionist at  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-02-2006 09:12 AM                        Shot on VIDEO? Screw them. So CINMEA PARADISO still reigns king as the projectionists' "mascot" film. I guess Kirk was happy to get any role they would give him. I once heard Gregory Peck say, when an interviewer asked him why he took quite a few of those pretty shlocky roles throughout his career, "You all seem to forget that for an actor, acting is a job. There's no fund to pay out-of-work actors who are without jobs because they are sitting around waiting for a "perfect" role to come along." I thought that was pretty pragmatic. They are, after all, just guys trying to earn a living like the rest of us.  |  IP: Logged
