Scifi.com Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar - "Southland Tales" Movie seeks more money for special effectsThursday 15 February 2007, by Webmaster Richard Kelly, director of the long-delayed SF apocalyptic movie Southland Tales, wrote on his MySpace.com blog that he is still seeking funding to finish the epic film’s visual effects. "We are still in the process of getting the budget approved to finish all of the additional visual effects in the final cut," Kelly wrote on Feb. 12. "There were many missing and incomplete visual effects in the Cannes version, so expect lots of improvements! Fingers crossed that we get the additional money." Southland Tales, a futuristic movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Sarah Michelle Gellar, has been held up since a disastrous screening at the Cannes Film Festival last year. The film still has no distributor or release date. "We are in advanced negotiations for a soundtrack deal for Southland Tales, but until there is a locked release date, ... we won’t know for sure," Kelly added. But he said that a series of three prequel graphic novels has been completed. In the meantime, Kelly said that Fox has hired him to write a big action movie with an unnamed "famous director" that is a remake of an unidentified 1971 movie. 1 Message |
