The first stills from Dario Argento's GIALLO, starring Adrien Brody, hit the net!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I love Dario Argento and I'm forgiving his many misfires. Despite the crap, I want to see every new movie he does just based on my love of his best '70s and '80s work. GIALLO looks like the film of his that stands the best chance of returning him to his glory.
The good folks at ShockTillYouDrop.com nabbed the first couple of stills. Click on the one below for the all the stills and the higher res ones!
PICTURE REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF THE PRODUCTION

But who cares? Argento is done. Has been for a while.
-
love the beard ;p

a pile of shit has a thousand eyes

I don't even care what the movie's about. Brody with or without facial hair is worth watching. Fuck, he could be in a movie where he doesn't even having a fucking FACE and I'll watch it!
-
Fuck, it's called Giallo. As long as he stays true to the genre, there's no way this won't be awesome. I hope.
-
Mother of Tears! Jesus Christ all fuckin mighty! I really do love him and his earlier works and will even defend "Sleepless" as a return to form. So, yes I was excited about MOT and seeing the end of a trilogy that Includes "Inferno" his masterpiece. But, what a load of old shit. I felt embarrassed watching it. It even ends with the surviving characters pissing themselves laughing like they've just played an joke on you with film you just sat through... I'll still see this though.
-
Argento has been paddling the shallows of his career for God knows how long now, and he even scored a duck with the final part of the Three Mothers trilogy, but with more attention focused on him because of the cast he has this time, he might get off of auto-pilot for the first time in nearly 20 years. Non Ho Sonno was pretty damn good, but it's a hell of a long time between decent movies.
-
I guess they like to sync sound the hard way :-/
-
and anyone criticising this great news can fuck off. Do you really want more Saw/Roth/Captivity Torture Porn dreck. Bad Argento is still light years better than anything Roth or his equally dim witted cohorts could produce.
-
Hopefully the plot will make more sense, of course who gives a fuck. At least Argento makes interesting films despite a decent plot. Fuck you Michael Bay
-
he's the guy Roth, and even Romero would like to be.
-
There was once I time when I heaped abuse upon Argento as well as Carpenter and Craven on these boards for having turned into hacks, but after the recent slew of abysmal nu-horror and torture porn shitfests, all is forgiven.
-
Damn you to hell!
-
... regardless of the crap he's made. He is a great example of how someone can be SO SO SO SO GOOD, and then, for no apparant reason, mind-achingly bad. I ALMOST PRAY for a Suspiria 2... and I don't mean another 'three mothers entry'... I mean SUSPIRIA 2... as in, back at the dance academy... Susy Banyon, crazy colours, airport doors signalling music cues, blind pianists (hell get Brody for that part).... and some creepy ass snoring in the dance hall at night - with big shadows cast on the dividers. Suspiria is a masterpiece. And Suspiria 2 from Argento is about the only horror sequel to a classic I'd ever want.
-
I watched Vampires last night, and although it is very, very minor Carpenter it is still fucking miles ahead of almost any of the shit masquerading as horror nowadays. When will these people learn that making you wince is not the same as making you scared?
-
He will stab you...WITH HIS NOSE!
-
the new DAMN YOU, MICHAEL BAY. You can´t beat a classic.
-
I had a huge flame war with cocolopez over Carpenter a few years ago, but at this stage I'd even defend Ghosts of Mars.
-
Ice Cube, Natasha Henstridge and another reimagining of whatever he based Precinct 13 on. The only Carpenter effort (and I include memoirs of an invisible man- even though he was blatantly the wrong director for it, and Starman) that is completely hopeless is Escape from LA.
-
...was the particular point of contention between me and cocolopez. I held that it was unmitigated shit, whereas he praised its crapness as some sort of sly satire of modern action sequels.
-
His thinking was that it was Carpenter deliberately sabotaging the studio system that was forcing him to make it. Complete crap- the proof that he is full of shit is the really dreadful surfing sequence.
-
The ones that really stand out are: when LaserPants thought that Hostel was some sort of sly social satire, whereas I maintain that is crediting that unmitigated dickhead Roth with far too much intelligence; and with Roland about Dawn the original being far superior to the remake.
-
This film looked like an italo exploitation film from the 70's!!!
Great gruesome murders,boobs,fast pace and crazy ideas everywhere!
Flawed of course (weak CGI...),but i loved it!
GIALLO can be fun too...wait and see! -
and quit half way through because I was bored to tears. Did I give up on this too early, or is it one of his misfires? Did love the '70s casting of Piper Laurie and Fred Forrest tho.
-
This looks cool with him in it in fact I wish this was a still From Bad Leutenant and Brody was Doing it rather than Cage! then it might be good. Are the goblins still involved with Argento?
-
it's because of him that i'm alive, so what ever he puts out i wil always support .... thank you mr Argento...
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
"Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in." I really like the idea of a solid horror movie with Brody in it. You know, this is any good, he could really pass as Asia's older brother in another horror movie. That could be some pretty interesting chemistry.
-
Doubting it, since this is up Bordy's alley of weird side films. But I'm kinda wondering if one off shoot of the strike will be American actors working more foreign films. Are generation needs some Anthony Quinn types.
-
definitely a DTV. What a waste. Or is the movie actually better then the trailer implies?
-
I know it's had some love in the talkback but to me it's pretty poor, up there with his worst. I wish I could say different, as fan of his work, but it's a stinker.
-
this will be good, I love love love giallo films. Also I hope it will trigger emulations by other filmmakers. Here's to the return of the giallo!
-
MOTHER OF TEARS received mixed reviews,some people liked it very much,some people disliked it,but IMO the film is really entertaining,gory fun.
Some of the acting and the CGI effects aren't too good but there are cool nasty murders and nice locations...the film is much better IMO that some of Argento's last disappointing works (SLEEPLESS,PHANTOM OF THE OPERA...)
Just don't expect the vivid lightning and dreamy worlds of SUSPIRIA and INFERNO and you'll enjoy it! -
on this neverending debate i would have to choose.... NO ONE! seriously both have good and bad things about them. People say Argento is a lot better but theres some unoriginality in there, just how many times can he film people heads smashing through glass? Fulci's filmography has less good stuff than Argento's, but Fulci's good stuff is REALLY good. Zombi 2 in my opinion, i like even more than Dawn of the Dead which was an unofficial Italian sequel to it. Ooh also let's not forget Deodato with Cannibal Holocaust, tha was sick stuff, and let's not forget the other great horror guys Lenzi
Jacopetti
Prosperi
Climati
Morra
Cavara
Margheriti
Mattei
D'Amato
Martino
Tarantini -
go hang out at chud you fucking cynical manatee, this looks sleazy. which is perfect, argento is as argento does.
-
the guy just takes his gore to a purely ridiculous level which compromises the integrity of his scenes.
-
is pure argento, this is gonna be good
-
...may be more hamfisted than Argento, but I find his stuff to be much more entertaining. His Zombie and The Beyond are awesome cheese masterpieces.
-
arguably the father of both the mocumentary shite passing itself off as horror (Blair witch leaping to mind) and Torture Porn. It isn't even that good- it's just nasty.

Cannibal Holocaust is one of those annoying that set too many precedents to be forgotten, but yeah, I kinda wish we could too. I mean there a are a lot of things that did work in the film quite well. I almost want to love it, but then it turns around and not only does something mind blowingly fucked up, but does it so unintelligibly for the sake of that you want to throw something at the screen. All that said, torture porn it is not. At least as I'd define it. Cannibal horror is it's own fucked up genre all to itself, and it's one I don't miss. There's not really any Torture per se in Cannibal. I looked it over while writing a grad paper on torture horror, and found nothing but a big mess o rape and some unpleasant mutilation. To call the dismembering torture porn would mean also throwing films like Dawn of the Dead in the mix. So no, it's not torture porn by the general understanding I'd say. As far as I can tell it did kick off the docuhorror genre, which is modern continuation of the epistolary writing style that was popular in Gothic literature (best example being Dracula).
-
Why? It's not like they revaled anything.
Got to admit Brody looked sweet with the goatee - like a young Giancarlo Giannini. This one's gonna be good.
*crosses fingers*
Let's hope JOHN CARPENTER'S L.A. GOTHIC (from the same writers) goes into production soon. -
Suspiria, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Opera... Argento is a genius! Even his Masters of Horror episode "Pelts" had something new to offer - lesbian cum on the lips anyone? I'll definitely be there to see this!
-
more importantly, her boobs.
-
Don't forget you're talking about Dario. I for one would not like him to cast Asia's boobs without her. That would be messy. And the last time a movie promised a bucket of bloody tits on this site... memory's a bit foggy, but I recall that movie sucked. Not bloody tits, mind you, just plain old sucked. So if sucking the bloody tits is your thing (to each there own bro) than it's still probably gonna be a lose-lose situation. But yeah, I always enjoy Asia in a horror movie.
-
I entirely agree with everything in that post. I don't for a second think it is Torture Porn- when I said the father of (arguably), I meant that without the nastiness then the film would have no reason to exist- and this is the standard that I hold TP to- Would it work without the sadism? if the answer is no, then you have TP.
-
My point being, if you took the dismemberments out of Dawn would it still work? I think so, so therefore is not TP. The mutilation/ chomping should be incidental to the horror, it should not be the driving force of the story.There is a whole bucketload of Cannibal movies of which I'm pleased to say I've only seen a few- and I reckon Holocaust is probably the nastiest, but bizarrley, also the best. I still wouldn't recommend anyone watching it though- the Animal deaths are too much.
-
Besides some over the top acting. I think the film would still work without the excessive rape and toning down the animal violence. The hard part would be losing the Turtle death because it legitimized their gore pallet. When the people die their guts look like the turtle's so the viewer things, "I know THAT was real, so is this real also?" Goes without saying I'm against the animal death, but that's where you might have me on this.
-
If you substitute a fake turtle for a real turtle and removed all the gore from that film you're left with a clever mocumentary that completely fails as a horror film. The gore is essential to ellicit the reaction of disgust and fear from the audience Great chat, man, hope to see you in another TB
