ICARUS / THE KILLING MACHINE (Dolph Lundgren, 2009)

[Warchild]

Don't want to be a pest Jox, but will we see some first set pics or something soon?

I don't know yet honestly.

Eh, this TV-movie camera business kinda bugs me,

OK wait. This is a very good professional HD camera and HD today can make great results (especially if it ends up on DVD or Blu-Ray), most of you probably won't even see the difference. It's just not 35mm film that's all. So let's not be too pessimistic about this (I didn't want to bring up this detail at first and now I'm thinking "damn this board is turning into the VD forum!")

Cinetel films what the???
I though this was a Sony pictures backing, i'm confused??
I just checked cinetel films, they are production company of kill switch and detonador and some made for TV low budget movies, I'm worried about this one??

I rather see Dolph work with Sony or Lions gate.
Is Nu image sony Pictures???

The Mechanik and Missionary Man were both by Sony and it turned out very good movies with Cool DVD covers, that is why Sony is better for Dolph.

You're kinda mixing everything up so:

- ICARUS is produced by Cinetel Films (selling the film for worldwide distribution just like Nu Image does) and Insight Film Studios (big Vancouver studio)

- Nu Image and Sony Pictures are totally different companies except that they often deal together and Sony distributes some Nu Images titles (Sony deals with Cinetel as well)

-Nu Image produced THE MECHANIK that Sony then released. Then Sony wanted to have Dolph make a movie for them so they (cheaply) produced/financed MISSIONARY MAN and distributed it worldwide as well.

Sony can be good for Dolph as releasing company, but they did a very sloppy job producing MISSIONARY MAN for which they didn't care expect about the profits they could make from it.

Thanks for clearing that up Jox

Hot christ, those pictures look awesome! Lots of great-looking action stills that have me craving for MORE. Hell, this looks loads better than the Direct Contact stills! Probably b/c Dolph's directing it, too!

Absolutely. While browsing the photos I was thinking "Where can I order the poster versions?"

Sam Ferris pretty much sums it up. I guess I never read a bigger compliment than hers about sending Dolph as *the* human representative. But she's right of course.

Damn!! Didn't expect to wake up to this. If I'm totally honest when Dolph said it was Leon meets History of Violence I thought, yeah okay but surely Dolph ain't that good. These pictures have just totally sold me!! This looks so sleek and cool, cannot wait to see more. Looks like it's got some cool kicks in it too. Dolph looks bad ass and the lighting looks great as does the violence. Dolph really is the man.

Holy hell!
This look great.
Started laughing out of pure delight just by watching these pics.

They're filming with the Panavision Genesis (HD) camera, which is the one they used for movies like SUPERMAN RETURNS, DEJA VU, THE GOLDEN COMPASS etc. The recording area is the same as Super 35mm film (so you can shoot in cinemascope format and end up with a 2.35 scope print) and it's is fully compatible with cine Primo lenses giving the picture a 35 mm depth of field.

NICE (why would it be deleted?)

Some people make me jealous of their photoshop skills!

[Jox]

Seems they had the same idea!

Hey guys what do you guys think of Dolph working with Ringo Lam, i liked the movies he made with JC, like Maximun Risk, Replicant and In Hell.

Dolph should work again with an Hong Kong director, don't you guys think so.
