...That looks cool...I wanna see that so bad... I love Johnny M.
hehe, looks quite funny by mansep	Apr 16th, 2005 06:49:37 AM
but then, the trailer doesn't really tell me what the film is about, so who knows?

i'm not sure but i believe there was a rumour many many years ago that there would be someone who pretended to be Stanley Kubrick. well perhaps it was not a rumour but in fact true (i am not very familiar about it) But i don't think this film takes this background and tries to tell the "true" story but just take this basic idea and make a funny movie. But as i say i don't know for sure.

Funny as hell. And it's directed by a close associate of Kubrick, so I think Kubrick himself would have appreciated this one.

oh yeah... that rings a bell. now i remember reading something in the newspaper (how old school!) about a guy pretending to be him and getting away with it due to not many people knowing what Kubrick actually looked like cos he was such a recluse. the imposter go into lots of film parties etc. so yeah, i guess this film was inspired by that.
Holy Moly, that was great by George Newman	Apr 16th, 2005 10:07:36 AM

It's a fucking remix! by dbtayag	Apr 16th, 2005 11:27:04 AM
They took a remarkable grandiose song (Jonathan Elias' "Movement III: Hope") and fucking remixed it with electric guitars and crashing drums! Horrible, just plain horrible. And people, that's not Lisa Gerrard on vocals, it's Alanis Morissette. Trust me. I have the original song.
Sorry by dbtayag	Apr 16th, 2005 11:27:29 AM
Wrong subject, goddamn it.
Um...okay... by coen_fan	Apr 16th, 2005 12:46:25 PM
Whoa. That looks seriously strange. And seeing as I'm a fan of all things seriously strange, I can't wait to see it. "I'm Stanley Kubrick!" Sweet.
I don't know what to say..... by bobby_horsepower	Apr 16th, 2005 01:30:17 PM
What exactly is this about?
by Shub-Wankalot	Apr 16th, 2005 01:58:49 PM
WTF?! Mesmerized by the insanity of the moment...must pull myself together and witness the flick in its entirety. Malkovich rides again!
Mr. Titanium, ROFL!!! by CurryIce	Apr 16th, 2005 03:56:59 PM

There was a man passing himself off as Kubrick... by derubermax	Apr 16th, 2005 04:54:50 PM
I remember reading about a gentleman that was a con artist and told people he was Stanley Kubrick to get free meals, free tickets to plays and movies, etc. The con artist was also a homosexual that would use this particular con to get into the pants of some potential young "actors". I wonder if they will portray this side of the story?
derubermax by numberface	Apr 16th, 2005 05:14:21 PM
I belive this movie is about that very man. I remember reading about this way back when it was in development. Odd. Malkovitch looks as much like Kubrick as Stanley Tucci. Then again, he doesn't have to look like him. The dude who was impersonating Kubrick didn't look like him either. This film looks odd and depressing.
being first by silverstorm	Apr 16th, 2005 05:55:50 PM
what is this childish obsession to be first?i really don't understand it.maybe it's just confined to the male of the species,thankfully!!!!!!!
being first is AWESOME by Dannychico	Apr 16th, 2005 08:02:52 PM
all naysayers are lame and slow to the punch.
premature by silverstorm	Apr 16th, 2005 08:20:16 PM
being first is awesome..not too sure if a lot of women would agree what that proclamation there,dannychico!!
You know the American trailer could never be as cool as this by MaxCalifornia.	Apr 16th, 2005 08:38:43 PM
This is how you market a movie! Who wants to bet that the inevitable trailer that plays in US theaters is dull as hell. And I love how MALKOVICH is name-above-the-title status for the French trailer.
I love how this plays exactly like a Kubrick trailer by MaxCalifornia.	Apr 16th, 2005 08:50:05 PM
Most of Kubrick's trailers were short and to the point just like this, I'm sure ya remember the EWS trailer that was just Cruise and Kidman making out for a minute. And yes it is based on a true story of a bloke called Alan Conway, there's an article about him here : http://www.sundaytimes.co.za/1 999/03/28/lifestyle/life02.htm
