More on Harrison Ford and K-19!!!
Hey folks, Harry here with Sean from HarrisonFordLine.Com and his never-ending reports on Harrison Ford's movements on K-19... the Bigelow flick that I'm praying is exactly what Ford's career needs. I want them to knock this film out of the park. Kathryn Bigelow needs it, Ford needs it... even Liam Neeson needs it. And I think all of us fans of Ford's work need it.... we need that thing to remind us why we so adore this actor. Here's the latest, plus a picture at the bottom... enjoy...
Hi, Harry
Sean here from Harrison Ford Online
( HarrisonFordLine.Com ). I hope all is well.
I figured with all the negative press that's circulating around both online
and in the paper press about Harrison Ford's upcoming adventure film "K-19:
The Widowmaker," due to the screenplay perceived as a disservice to the
survivors of the real cold-war sub accident, I would send out something
that Harrison Ford fans might appreciate.
I have a picture of Harrison Ford in his Captain's uniform from the set
of "K-19: The Widowmaker" currently filming in the snow city of Winnipeg.
The PIC is attached.
I also have a batch of pictures that I have been sent via snail mail from
the set that I need to scan. Once those are completed, I will post them
at my site ( HarrisonFordLine.Com). I have been dragging
the past couple of months due to personal issues, but am now slowly getting
back into the swing of things.
Also, I have an article here that ran in the Winnipeg Free Press today.
I want to share it with you. The article is in its complete form. Harrison
Ford Online was made aware of this article and PIC by Lola, an Harrison
Ford Online contributor.
Thanks.
Here's the article:

Gimli goes ga-ga for Ford
Thu, Mar 8, 2001
LIKE Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom, Harrison Ford swooped in, completed
his mission and left unscathed.
"Everybody was out looking for him," beauty
salon manager Leona Johnson said in Gimli, where the A-list star was shooting
scenes for the movie K-19: The Widowmaker.
He had the whole town agog,
she said.
The greying heart-throb was in Gimli for less than 24 hours
to shoot a scene from the submarine drama, which included about 70 locally
hired extras.
"Not too many people got to see him," Johnson said at Shear
Pleasure Hair Design.
Susan Zielke, who had staked out the Lakeview Resort
Tuesday with her children Scott and Kayla, didn't get to see Ford.
"Scott's
teacher did and a bunch of my friends did," she said. But Zielke wasn't
disappointed. Her kids had an opportunity to see how a movie is made and,
besides, she wasn't that big of a Ford fan, anyway.
"He's just a person
like everybody else."
Except that Ford is reportedly earning $25 million
US for his role as the Russian sub captain. And worth every penny, if you
ask Donnalee Moffatt, who spied the star in costume at breakfast yesterday.
"He looked very handsome in his naval uniform," said the general manager
of Lakeview Resort, where the cast and crew were staying.
There were no
fans to fawn over the dashing middle-aged movie star -- the only customers
at the hotel restaurant after the crew had eaten and left were Ford and
a few breakfast "regulars."
After his brush with Hollywood royalty, one
of the regulars went for a haircut at Johnson's shop.
"He was surprised
(Ford) was eating all by himself --and that he looked like an average guy
-- except he makes $20 million a movie," said Johnson.
When it comes to
close encounters with movie stars, St. Andrews resident Rick Schween is
42 going on 16.
The former real estate agent could barely contain his
excitement yesterday after getting an autograph from Ford in Gimli Tuesday
night and nearly clipping the visiting hunk with his snowmobile.
"I was
as giddy as a schoolgirl," said Schween, who drove up to the Interlake on
his sled to check out the submarine model that was being used for a scene
in the film.
"He was very gracious. He gave me an autograph on a match
box cover because that's all I had."
Schween says he encountered Ford
and an assistant at 9 p.m. on a snowmobile trail leading from the Lakeview
Resort to the waterfront.
"They were in front of me. I had to pull off
to the side," said Schween, who has long considered himself a major Ford
fan.
"He turned around and I caught him full in my headlights. He was
a little freaked out by the noise."
Schween says his encounter with Ford
lasted at least a minute because he had to run back to the parking lot to
find someone with a pen.
"I got one from a woman in a car," he said. "She
came and got an autograph, too."
Afterward, Schween went into the hotel
lounge to phone his wife about his brush with greatness. Ford, who had just
knocked back a double vodka on the rocks, walked by him again.
"This time
he gave me a kind of 'get off my submarine' look," Schween said. "I knew
what he had to drink because I asked the waitress."

Ever since Ford got his ear pierced, he's sucked.
Or maybe that Greedo shooting first thing in SW:SE really got to him. perhaps he's now the Special Edition Harrison Ford? -
I'm a huge Harrison fan. I've stuck by him even through Random Hearts and Six Days Seven Nights. But I do think he has reached that age in life were he should start picking roles that are written for a 50 year old, not a 30 year old. I hope that this K19 role is like Connery's role in Hunt for Red October. And I'm looking forward to the finger in this movie- bet he uses it at least twice.
-
but with that one shot, he just doesnt look like a hardened angry russian
-
What Lies Beneath was great and was a huge hit even though this site likes to pretend it was a bomb.
-
...a hardcore villan. That's is why I liked "What Lies Beneath", that role was a departure for him. I'd like to see him play a psycho-cop or some kind of slasher. He needs to call Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, Paul Thomas Anderson and while you're at it SPIELBERG for some serious silver screen madness!
-
... they NEVER had Pokemon cartoons on their big fuzzy hats. "Pika?" Bah!
-
Harry, I think this article is below AICN quality. You should have just posted the picture and a link to the guys site. I kept reading trying to find the NEWS, but there wasn't any. Not a single interesting thing in the whole piece. It is okay for AICN to be a place for fanboys and people who love everything about movies, but this bland celebrity worship should be beneath AICN, even on a slow newsday. On a separate note, are there really people who liked "What Lies Beneath"? Even though the "surprise" is given away in the trailer? I find that hard to believe.
-
The surprise in what lies beneath was never given away in the trailer that I remember. It showed he was the villian?? I saw the trailer at least 5 times and I never got that impression. I got the impression that he had an affair, but being a murderer, no way. I for one liked WLB but that is just my opinion. Hell it made 150+ million, I can't be the only one who liked it.
-
Harrison Ford played a villian in "The Conversation" with Gene Hackman. He wasn't a psyhcopath but soft spoken and actually fairly creepy. "I'm not not following you, i'm looking for you. There's a big difference."
-
not villian as I just wrote. Blame it on the dyslexia :)
-
When you zoom in, it really does look off. Too black with the washed out tones behind it. And it is off center. And the snowflakes look drawn. And the blur over his left nipple looks like a poor clone out or a stray stroke with the smudge tool. And that really doesn't look anything like a soviet uniform. And finally, it does say "Adobe" in the picture header. While there are legitimate reasons why this may have passed through Photoshop from a scan or digital camera, it is suspicious. I think we have been took.
And yes, it was obvious to me what "a mistake has come back to haunt him" really meant. I'm paraphrasing there. Why else would the dead girl want revenge? But, I'm glad YOU enjoyed it. More power to you. -

As long has he brandishes the Finger of Doom at some point
by darth tj mackey
(Some "point", get it? HAH, I kill me.) This article (http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/nm/20010307/re/film_submarine_dc_3.html) sez that the Russian sub dudes the film depicts are upset over inconsistencies in the script regarding history and their characters. Just like U-571! What is it about submarine thrillers that brings out this sort of thing?
-
I swear everytime I read that title I think it's the third K-9 movie.
Jim Belushi... Doesn't even have a drug habbit (as far as I know) and he's still scraping the bottom of the barrel. -
Does Ford look a little pudgy too? Hanging out at the craft services table too much? Maybe he should make "Indiana Jones And the Temple Of Winchell's" next. "Indy, use your whip to jump through the giant rolling donut!"

Since Harry decided to blackball my news on this movie
by k19information
Hey people, since Harry has chosen to blackball my news and scoops on this movie, I ceased sometime ago from sending him in various, interesting items pertaining to K19. What a shame because the visitors/movie fans to this site are the ones who are left out.
Thank goodness for the other major movie sites who do not play the blackball games and want their visitors to have the latest news, scoops and pictures. This site and its visitors could be getting all kinds of important and great information regarding this movie but Harry has chosen the route of blackballing me and my site due to a situation I called him out on with some exclusive news I got directly from the movie studio and in which Harry gave credit to someone else who took it from me and ran with it. I sent an email to Harry correcting where the initial information came from (I had sent him the exclusive information 24 hours before he ran it)upon emailing him, I was of course ignored and Harry never retracted his story. Since then he wants nothing that I have to offer his visitors.
If you want the latest up to date information on this movie where extras and others involved in this movie provide behind the scenes information and a K19 site which is considered the most in depth there is please visit.
www.harrisonfordweb.com/k19.htm
Harry may blackball me and it will be interesting to see if this post is deleted.
I decided to keep quiet about this no longer as I mainly wanted visitors to this site to know there is a place where you can get all kinds of information, its just a shame Harry will not allow my news and scoops to be made into his little headlines.
Sounds like sour grapes from me? No, I'm just disappointed in Harry and his tactics I had thought he would rise above....
I'll be doing a major update tonight with some inside scoop I got regarding the controversial script, details on the type of training some actors are receiving right now in Toronto, and details on how the submarine is layed out (this is interesting as it gives you more info on how they prepare for filming), information from people in Russian who worked on this movie early on and their take on the script and events surrounding the survivors.
Harry may deprive his visitors from my news for the last few months but to those who read this and care to visit, you won't be left out, I assure you.
I'd be delighted to send my info into Harry but he won't run it, I know.
Sorry for the rambling but I had to let it be known :)

The hat is real. I was up there yesterday to watch some of the filming. 70 extras playing soccer on the ice and it looks like laundry is hanging off of the sub. If you can believe that, than believe that the goofy hat is real too.
-
The animation is Harry as Luke in Empire with a variation...
-
Kathryn Bigelow directed for "Homicide: Life On The Street" (the best TV series ever), so this movie cannot suck. It's just not possible. Granted, it won't be "Das Boot", or "Hunt for Red October, but on the up-shot it won't be "U-571" either.

Doesn't that hat look like a badly-pasted layer added in photoshop? It doesn't look right.
-
If someone could find the original photo that this one was doctored from, then we could close this case.
-
If you can get a copy of the Winnipeg Free Press, the original photo is on the front page. If you go to www.winnipegfreepress.com you will get the same picture as posted here.
It's real, baby! I saw it with my own eyes. -

They should have gotten Burt Reynolds in this movie. He could play a cool Stalin with a funny line and that ha-ha. Stalin in a cowboy hat and a muscle car thats not worth 10 bucks what is.Just don't show Dom Deluise on the shitter it's more than we can bare. Where am I going with this? Who knows
-
I bet the dumb bitch who said that would cream her panties if she did meet him.

Anyone who thinks it was a good movie is nuts. Jonathan Mostow must have been smoking crack when he wrote and directed this WORST OF ALL WWII movies... Even 1942 was better! Like most 2-D Hollywood movies the film takes NO time to let us get to know the characters... Matthew McConaughey has to be the worst actor to ever star in big budget films, his performance in U-571 is so wooden he would have floated home if the boat sunk. They should have had Bill Paxton or Harvey Keitel be the main character instead of wasting them on useless throw-away characters. Why the hell does ever Hollywood action film now days have to have some lame pasty-faced pretty boy with absolutely no charisma in the lead while talented veterans are regulated to supporting characters? Not to mention the movie is a insult to the real men who DID steal enigma machines... All of whom where British NOT American. I LOVE WWII movies, I have about 2/3s of all the WII movies ever made but I HATED HATED HATED this lame ass movie. I give it *1/2 (out of for) I'd give it a bomb but at least the effects and music where good... And nothing else). Go rent "Run Silent. Run Deep" or "Das Boot" if you want to see a great WII submarine film. Goodnight...

Unless they change the title. I hate to sound superficial, but this title is meaningless to me, and I have this feeling that Joe Average is going to eyeball this title on the marquee and be like, "K19...uhh, a movie about a surly teenager who's transformed into a police dog?" Not that letter-number film titles are bad per se -- ID4 and MI:2 are known mostly for their abbreviations, not their full titles, and they did just fine at the box office -- but "K19" is a bad title. It invites ridicule (see posts above) and is too similar to "K9" and "K2." (Anyone remember the latter film? anyone? *sound of crickets*) Basically, any "K" title screams "boring." They should come up with a cooler name for this flick, like "The Adventures of Mack Stone, Private Eye," or "Homiez for the Holidaze," or "Fucked Up Shaolin Homo Monkeys on Crack, Part IV: Ass Head Returns." Anything but K19.

As an ordinary Joe Public (or John Book/Dr. Jones/...) in an exta-ordinary situation. Why doesn't he work with Spielberg more?
-
Geez, didn't know there were so many fellow Winnipegers in these talkbacks. Any other ladies out there completely bummed that they never saw a chance to see Ford up close ... so near, yet so far! "He's just a person like anyone else ...", true, but he's a gorgeous person who starred in several of my all-time favorite movies.
-
She is a class-A director, up there with Cameron. She has covered such a diverse range of genres (sci-fi, horror, action, now wartime). I loved Near Dark (which is on TV tonight!), Point Break and Strange Days, all films that are highly underappreciated. She doesn't make many movies, so I'm looking forward to this flick.
