Exclusive: You can fill your THIRST at the end of July!!

Published at:  Jun 01, 2009 5:13:44 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... Three people that I absolutely trust that saw THIRST in Cannes flat out LOVE the movie. Just love love love the movie. Now usually when we hear about a movie at a prestigious International festival - it means we're 6-18 months from actually seeing the film theatrically, if ever. Other than the occassional film fest. Well FOCUS FEATURES picked up Park Chan Wook's THIRST, his first active horror genre Vampire tale, has decided to release THIRST on July 31st, 2009! Meaning we have at least one more great film for the summer! Personally, I can't wait to screen this hear in Austin! So, that means we should be seeing a domestic One Sheet and Trailer anytime now, right?

    Hell, I'd settle for ONE great film this summer. And maybe this will be it. (Sorry, been a long day.)

    it's a good movie but...

    by no-no

    it's 30 minutes too long. At 2h13 Park Chan-Wook could have trimmed the fat. It has great moments but it's far from "Vengence" or "Old Boy" brio. More in the "Cyborg" sub-par category. Still better than "Twilight" I'm afraid, Harry...

    by cobra--kai

    Well TWILIGHT got a lot of love at the MTV Movie Awards... perhaps Harry will feel vindicated in his love for it... 'down with the kids' and all that bullshit...
    I did very much enjoy seeing BRUNO fall from the sky with his buttcheeks on Eminems face however and the song about tough guys not looking at explosions.

    by seppukudkurosawa

    I know that Cannes is no less hypocritical than Hollywood (just because you clap until your hands bleed, that doesn't make you a bigger film fan than your average 1-minute clappers), but this year's looked like one of the best lineups in years. If you can do SXSW and Comic Con coverage, surely you could have fit in Cannes, too.

    This film isn;t based on the Robert R. McCammon novel (vastly underated horror author). If you haven't read anything from him, try "The Wolf's Hour," or "Swan Song."

    hellking - AICN is behind the times

    by quamb

    James Cameron was on stage hours ago, talking about Avatar - more then he has done at all. Plus there are screenshots of the game, which gives a good look at the world, creatures and mech's.
    Same goes for any other event, such as Cannes or Sundance. AICN remains dead whilst the rest of the film/geek websites a reporting everything like crazy.
    I still love AICN and frequent often, though unfortunately it seems AICN operates like a site from 1999, not 2009.
    There is one exception, and that is Comic Con... which AICN covers well... but kind of sums up how narrow minded AICN has become.
    A classic was when Thirst, Inglourious Basterds etc were being screened at Cannes, and the leading story at AICN was about some bloody Disneyland ride... wtf?

    Suuuuuuuuure it will. Watch for no poster to materialize, no trailer to be cut, and for the film to vanish from the schedule and never be spoken of on this website again. Remember how awesome The Good, The Bad, And The Weird was? No, you don't, because they never fucking released it and none of the websites hyping it up bothered asking "Um, where'd that movie go again?" THIRST is headed down the memory hole.
