Questions answered about Paris Je T'aime
posted by Jas, 07/26/05
Executive producer of Paris Je T'aime has answered some of the fans questions at the film's IMDb forum board

On the cast, shooting schedule and release date
Everyone listed on the current IMDb is attached to the project, but as we continue to shoot segments, it's always possible that a scheduling conflict occurs. We will not complete the long shooting schedule until late this year and the film will require several months of post-production. A late 2006 release is possible for some territories, but I suspect that spring 2007 is more realistic. Our US distribution partner will make that determination. It will not happen until late 2006 at the earliest (and 2007 is more likely).

On the plots and segments of the film
Every segment is a single sequence of an entire narrative. Each segment will have its own individual story arc, but play a role in a collective story arc for the entire film. To work a literary anaology: each segment will appear like chapters in novel with related themes (but different characters), not like a collection of disparate short stories. It is not hyperbolic to call PJT a unique contribution to film. We hope it works as beautifully as we imagine it!

On the trailer
We have amazing segments produced and edited,but we do not plan to release any trailer so far in advance of a theatrical release.

KOH DVD info

The Digital Bits has detailed info about the Kingdom of Heaven DVD which is now available for pre-order at Amazon.com. It will be released on October 11

We've gotten official word from 20th Century Fox that Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven will street on 10/11, we as predicted in The Rumor Mill a few weeks ago. The 2-disc set (SRP $29.98) will include the film in anamorphic widescreen video (a separate full frame version will also be available), along with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. Extras will include an "interactive production grid" that lets you experience the production process from the perspective of the director, the cast or the crew. Also included will be a text commentary with historical and production notes, several behind-the-scenes featurettes and more (additional features are TBA). The following information isn't official, but industry sources have informed us that a more elaborate 4-disc DVD release MAY follow in 2006, likely featuring an extended version of the film which was extensively cut for its initial theatrical release. Take that as Rumor Mill worthy until we tell you otherwise. We expect to have cover art and additional details on the 2-disc release in the next few weeks. Stay tuned... - Bill Hunt, Editor, The Digital Bits
