"Love and Other Troubles" coming to DVD on June 29th

  After almost 6 months since it's release, "Love And Other Troubles" aka "Hulluna Saraan" is finally coming to DVD and Blu-ray, at least in Finland! During the last 30 days there were a lot of finnish sites reporting the upcoming release of the movie but there wasn't any official confirmation. So i decided to contact the co-writer of the film, Katri Manninen, through Twitter. Not only did she confirmed the news but she was polite enough to send a photo of the DVD cover, which you can see on the left!
 

 If you are not familiar with the movie, i suggest that you watch the trailer and read the synopsis below:




Ville, 25, is a downbeat former child star who's successfully avoided his womanizing rock 'n' roll dad for years. Everything changes when his dad moves into his flat and they both fall in love with the same American line-dancing teacher. The movie stars Emilie de Ravin,Ville Virtanen and Jussi Nikkilä. It is directed by Samuli Valkama who co-wrote the script with Katri Manninen!

 I also found the cover of the Blu-ray version which you can see bellow:

"Love and Other Troubles" to be released in Finland this February? - Samuli Valkama's new interview

"Love and Other Troubles" director, Samuli Valkama, was recently interviewed by turkulainen.fi and was asked about the story of the film, the locations where the shooting took place and approaching Emilie! Apart from this interesting information, the interview gives us a hint about the film's release. Actually, the film is expected to premiere on February 2012! I suppose this information has to do only with the Finnish release though, but it's still great news! You can read parts of the interview below:

On choosing Turku for the shooting of the movie:
- Director, says that he did not want to shoot the film in Helsinki, but in some smaller towns. The group first visited the Saloon, but thought it was, after all, itoo small. They quickly found suitable shooting locations in Turku...
- Turku, architecture, buildings can be found in a large scale. Turku is a freshness of feeling, i was born in Turku, Valkama says.

On casting Emilie in the movie: 
- We went through several different stages before we were able to discuss directly with the actress. De Ravin was immediately excited about the project. She liked the script! 

The original interview was posted in finnish and you can see it here: www.turkulainen.fi

"The Perfect Game" available on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD today

  After hitting theaters last year, "The Perfect Game" is finally available on DVD. After being presented in "Dallas Film Festival" last March, "Image Entertainment" acquired all North American distribution rights and releases the movie on DVD and Blu-ray today! "The Perfect Game" is also availabe on VOD.

  As you may know "The Perfect Game" is a troubled movie. As  www.sefijaonline.com reports "back in 2008, Lionsgate was interested in releasing the movie. In late summer alone, the young, ambitious studio had had three new movies scheduled to release in August, four in September and three in October (including Oliver Stone‘s much-anticipated George Bush bio, W.) And, quite simply, that was too many. None of them made quite as much money as they had hoped, and Lionsgate didn’t have the ready cash to market that many films all at once–not without a hit on their hands. Something had to give. The Perfect Game, for instance. Its original release date of August 8, 2008 got bumped. Indefinitely. The balance of the summer, all of baseballs season a summer itself, slipped away. The film was submitted to a couple of festivals, but otherwise it languished entirely, and if Lionsgate’s original idea has been to hold it until the other films on its slate generated some new money…well, it didn’t happen."(...)
 
  I managed to watch the movie and i believe it shouldn't have been treated that way! It was a great "family movie". But no matter what happened, "The Perfect Game", after beeing realised in a limited amount of theaters, is finally available for everyone! Look for it in your local DVD store and buy it, it really worths it! And if you are still not convinced, stay tuned to "Dedicated to Emilie", because a review for the movie will be posted soon!

Everything you need to know about Emilie de Ravin's "Love and Other Troubles"

  As you probably know, Emilie is currently working on her new project named "Love and Other Troubles". The filming takes place in Finland and it will last for almost a month. In this article i will try to categorize and present you every information has surfaced about the movie! So let's start.

  First of all, i would like to start with the story of the film. The movie is descriped as "an almost romantic comedy" that focuses on the life of Ville, a former child star who has never beaten his dad in wrestling. He now leads a routine life in a small Finnish town giving guitar lessons to kids. His life, which usually works like clockwork, is shaken when his father, a washed-up rock star and an impulsive bohemian, shows up on his doorstep and announces that he needs a place to stay for a few days – or weeks. Ville does not know how to say no. But the worst shock comes when one night, his dad comes home with a girl about Ville's age. It's Sara (played by Emilie de Ravin of course), a funny and quirky American student who teaches country line dancing at the local activity center. After he and Sara become friends, and he realises that he is attracted to her, the awkward love triangle is ready. A few pony rides, line dancing face-offs and wrestling matches later Ville learns that he can be just as impulsive as his father.

  So from what we learn, on the one hand Emilie will have the opportunity to show her talent in a comic role and on the other hand we will have the opportunity to witness her dancing skills for the first time! It sounds really tempting, doesn't it?

  Obviously, Emilie will not be alone in the film. Her co-stars are two finnish actors named Ville Virtanen and Jussi Nikkilä. Virtanen will play the father while Nikkila will play Ville! Some of Ville Virtanen's projects are "Sauna", "Priest of Evil" and "Beyond" while Jussi Nikkila has participated in "Hymypoika", "Bastard", and "Ganes". Unfortunately, the supporting cast is not announced yet but we may have more information soon.

Ville Virtanen

 

  The screenwriters of the film are Katri Manninen and Samuli Valkama. Valkama is also directing. "Love and
Other Troubles is the first feature film Samuli Valkama is directing. He has previously worked on short films like Alright Love, which won a prize in Berlin. The film is produced by "Bronson Club" which is a Helsinki-based production company. BRONSON CLUB is a part of SOLAR FILMS, a leading Finnish feature film and TV production company which has produced some 20 feature films and television drama in addition to a variety of TV entertainment programmes for Finnish TV. Solar Films is a part of Nordisk Film.

Samuli Valkama

   As i told you before, the filming has already started in Finland. They are currently filming scenes in a town named Turku. According to Wikipedia Turku is a medieval city situated on the southwest coast of Finland at the mouth of the Aura River. It is located in the region of Finland Proper. It is believed that Turku came into existence during the end of the 13th century which makes it the oldest city in Finland. Because of its long history it has been the site of many important historical events and has extensively influenced Finnish history. For the year 2011, Turku has been designated to be the European Capital of Culture together with Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. In 1996 it was declared the official Christmas City of Finland.

   Besides from Turku, "Love and Other Troubles" will be filmed in Salo, another finish city and the U.S. The exact place hasn't been announced yet. It would be great though to see some known actors have a cameo in the film, playing Emilie's parents or her American friends.

  The preperation for the film has started a while ago. Bronson company has been looking for extras, cars and other stuff that are going to be used on the set. As i informed you though, the filming started four days ago. Producers and other members of the film's crew has been tweeting about the process. Here are some of their tweets:

  As for the movie's release, according to cineuropa.org the movie will be released domestically next spring in Scandinavia by Nordisk Film Production AB. So far we know nothing about the U.S. release of the film. What i can assume is that "Love and Other Troubles" will premiere in some Film Festivals before it finds a distributor in the U.S. Other "Bronson Club's" productions has premiered in festivals like Sundance and Samuli Valkama's latest short film was presented in Berlin Film Festival so there are a lot of chances to see this film in one of those or a similar festival. Furthermore, one of the producers of the film, Andrew D. Corkin, has a production company in NY and  through his carreer, he has produced indies like Afterschool (which premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival within the Un Certain Regard category and was nominated for the 2009 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature) and Martha Marcy May Marlene (which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, in competition, eventually selling worldwide rights to Fox Searchlight and winning the Best Director Award). So i am sure that he will try to do his best with "Love and Other Troubles".

   As for the film's budget, one part of it was given by "Finnish Film Foundation". The actual budget is €1,6. "Finnish Film Foundation" donated €680.000.
  So, this is all the info i have learnt about the film. I hope i haven't forgot anything! The filming has ended for this week, so we will probably have more updates on Monday. For this article i would like to thank Ludelia,  owner of emiliederavinworld.blogspot.com for sharing a lot of information with me and other fans of Emilie's on FanForum. Credit also goes to some finnish sites as well, for posting some of the info. I hope you found the article informative. I promise to share more things with you whenever i find more information!

Hello guys! Sorry for not updating the blog for a while but i was really busy with my exams. But now that they are over i am planning to change a lot of things in the blog (i will inform you soon). For know i have some good news for "The Chameleon". After being postponed a couple of times, Emilie's new movie is finally coming out on July 8th. Last April, some big movie sites has announced that it was going to be released on June 10th. But there wasn't any kind of promotion by the distributor of the film, and nothing was mentioned in it's official site about it.

This changed a couple of days ago, when LLeju's site was updated! Today, i communicated with Keith Perkins, a representative from the company, and he confirmed the date. As he added "...the film will be a limited release. New York and Los Angeles are 2 of the 8 cities the film will debut. The other cities are: Phoenix, Minneapolis, Seattle, San Francisco, St. Louis. , and Portland." So if you live in one of these cities you could check the film when it comes out! I will try to film more information as soon as i can and i hope this is a chance for Emilie to make a public appearence (after a whole year) and promote the film!

Bellow, you can read an article with all the information announced. It seems that a specific date is not know yet.

Image Entertainment Scores The Perfect Game 
True Tale of Trials and Triumph Has Worldwide Resonance 

CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Image Entertainment, Inc. (OTCQB: DISK) has acquired all North American distribution rights to The Perfect Game. Produced by David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud, The Perfect Game is a heartwarming, life-affirming true story of determination, drive and dreams realized. Getting the film completed was a Sisyphean task nearly as challenging as the story it tells. Bill Bromiley, Chief Acquisitions Officer for Image Entertainment, made today’s announcement following the film’s debut at the Dallas Film Festival

“This film has something for everyone,” Bromiley said. “It’s more than an underdog sports parable. The Perfect Game illuminates the human spirit, the power of community and the heroics of everyday people making their dreams come true.

Directed by William Dear and written by W. William Winokur from his book, the film stars Clifton Collins Jr. (TV’s “The Event”), Cheech Marin (“Nash Bridges”), Jake Austin ("Wizards of Waverly Place") and Moises Arias ("Hannah Montana"). The Perfect Game spins the amazing story of the 1957 Little League World Series won by a hardscrabble team from Monterrey, Mexico. The final game in the Championship series remains the only “perfect game” ever pitched to this day. Beyond a feel good “victory to the good guys” tale, The Perfect Game also examines racism, political discord and questions of faith. By the final inning, however, it’s a lump-in-the-throat, rousing yarn that touches the heart.

Producers Salzberg and Tureaud experienced their own considerable challenges getting the film completed. But their eventual successful theatrical release last summer and now a home entertainment release timed for the 2011 Little League World Series, is a testament to the strength of the story and the performances in the film

Is Ball Don't Lie coming to theaters on June 5th?

"The Chameleon's" distributor might haven't announced the release date of the movie yet, but i seems that there are news about "Ball Don't Lie". While checking the IMDb page of the movie i found out that it is listed for a June 5th release! I checked the official site of it's distributor - Night And Day Pictures - but it has nothing related to the release date. I also tried to send a mail to them but there is a problem with their email and the message can not be delivered! The film was supposed to be released back on June 5th, 2009, so IMDb might mixed up the info. I will try to find out more, so keep an eye on the site for more updates!

New Operation:Endgame Review

A couple of days ago, i found this new review about Operation: Endgame! It was posted on www.blogomatic3000.com. The writer of the article mentions Emilie and the other girls of the movie (Maggie Q and Odette Yustman) so i decided to post it here! You can check it out bellow:

 OPERATION: ENDGAME
Stars: Adam Scott, Beth Grant, Brandon T. Jackson, Ellen Barkin, Emilie de Ravin, Jeffery Tambor, Joe Anderson, Maggie Q, Odette Yustman, Rob Corddry, Ving Rhames, Zack Galifianakis | Written by Sam Levinson, from a screenplay by Brian Watanabe | Directed by Fouad Mikati
Hidden miles beneath Los Angeles lies the Factory, the headquarters of an elite team of assassins on the government payroll headed by a man only known as the Devil (Tambor). Split into two teams – Alpha and Omega – each team is evenly matched with each member having his or her counterpart. Taking their names from the tarot cards, the Fool (Anderson) becomes the latest recruit to the Factory.
However on his first day at ‘work’, the Fool finds himself thrown into the middle of  “Endgame” – a special lockdown and self destruct procedure – when the Devil is assassinated by an unknown assailant. With only an hour before the Factory blows up, the Fool must find a way to escape both the impending explosion and his fellow assassins, all of whom have their orders – terminate each other on sight!
Operation: Endgame is yet another one of those “out-of-left-field” movie that appears out of nowhere as if by magic and totally takes you by surprise – in a good way! Filled with familiar faces, including an ageing Ellen Barkin, funny men Jeffrey Tambor, Zack Galifianakis and Rob Corddry, bad-ass Ving Rhames and the gorgeous Maggie Q (pre-Nikita), the film is an almost perfect mix of action and comedy in the style of the 80’s greats – and it doesn’t skimp on the gore either! Yes, whilst the film has a really funny script – especially when it comes to Rob Corddry’s perpetually drunk assassin Chariot who spews forth insults in an almost Shakesperian manner – it is also FULL of gory fight sequences: throat gouging via staple remover, people sliced up with a guillotine blade, a table leg to the head; just your typical, everyday office equipment used for nefarious purposes (just be careful it doesn’t give you ideas).
Of the cast Rob Corddry is the standout, even more so than the Operation: Endgame’s “hero” – the Fool – as is Ellen Barkin, who brings a sultry dominatrix edge to her performance as leader of the Alpha team of assassins, and of course there’s plenty of eye candy: Emilie de Ravin, Maggie Q and Odette Yustman, of which Q is the highlight, once again managing to balance sexiness with complete badass-ery (for want of a better word) as she does on the CW’s Nikita.
Operation: Endgame is a great movie, if you’re an action movie fan you’ll find a lot to love about the film and whilst it’s not perfect it is miles better than the majority of the DTV action movie dross that clutters up the shelves of DVD retailers across the country. A definite must-see in my opinion.

This review was writen because the movie is now available on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK!
