| Posted by: Lazy Boy at August 19, 2008, 2:30 pm | | Topic: [REC] Forum: JoBlo | | I found this tidbit on the IMDB message board for the film... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/...nest/114996529 I have just returned tonight from a Special screening of the horror film, JACK BROOKS MONSTER SLAYER starring Robert Englund at the Two Boot Pioneer Theatre in New York City, hosted by FANGORIA Magazine. After the screening which was quite good by the way, I managed to have a brief conversation with FANGORIA editor Tony Timpone at the theatre, where we talked about horror films in general. especially the new ones being released including QUARENTINE. Our conversation steered toward REC and it's American release, QUARENTINE and I asked Mr.Timpone, who because of his job as FANGO editor has an inside conection with the studios, what was the reason why Sony/Columbia doesn't want to release REC in US theatres. Mr. Timpone confirmed to me that Sony/ Columbia only will release REC on DVD here in the US after they theatrically release their remake QUARENTINE and that both films will be released on DVD by Sony/Columbia Home Video at the same time at the beginning of 2009. Mr. Timpone also told me that Sony/ Columbia doesn't want to release theatrically the original version of REC here, because (QUOTE)" they are afraid that releasing the original version of REC in US theatres will overshadow their American remake of the film." (END QUOTE). Mr. Timpone also agree that it is a mistake on Columbia's part in following this practice about REC and that it shows a certain insecurity on their part regarding QUARENTINE to stand on it's own merits as a film in comparison to REC. |
