What’s Going On?

Another month flew by, really flew. I guess when people are busy, the relativity of time becomes all too obvious. While in the US people celebrate Labor Day, in Europe people return to work, and in the southern part of the world, spring begins to show its kind face.

I always keep track of how the films are doing on a monthly basis, some probably think it’s like an obsession, but it’s a lot more than that, it’s a way of looking at the past to predict the future. For a fourth month in a row, Monxa Mala retains its best seller status, followed by Mila À La Croix on second place, Passion of Isabel on third, JUSTINE on fourth and Maleficarum on the fifth place. It’s almost predictable at this point. We’ll see how Crux Extrema will do upon its release, but I’m pretty sure it will take the lead for a few months, as all new titles do.

Crux Extrema II did not go into production on Monday as planned. Instead, it will begin on Wednesday. Jac had meetings with the execs of the movie theaters where Pygmalion will be shown. The date of release has been set for October 31st. There will be an avant premiere on the 30th, with tons of guests and a party. The good old days of showing our movies in multiplexes are returning.

Amy is still off the grid with her film Rucker so she hasn’t been told of the dates yet. When discussing possible dates and her possible attendance to the premiere, she mentioned that it takes two days for her to travel to these parts and two days to return. If she was coming over for a long period of time, that would be fine, but for just a couple of days, it is not. She will be in attendance via Video link.

I’ve been waiting for the conclusion of Seven Days for 16 years. A little longer won’t kill me. Never thought I would ever see it anyway. I still have Part IV to go back to from time to time.

Working with Seven Days On The Cross can be difficult. I should say it is difficult. Although the editing itself is not the problem, all the shots are in place, the sound can be really a big deal. When it was first produced, it was easier to handle because it was the only editing work for months. All four episodes were nicely edited and all the sound problems were dealt with. That was years ago and everything is different now. It might take a bit of time to get it all done the way Jac wants it to be done. But it will be released, maybe sooner than later.
