SMALL APARTMENTS (Jonas Åkerlund, 2012)

[dolphage]

Was this Facebook status greenlit by Dolph:

"SMALL APARTMENTS, my first comedy where I play a hilarious self-help doctor, finally comes out this February!"

?

Indirectly calling himself "hilarious" seems a little boastful coming from the normally modest Mr. Lundgren.

This part is his own wording... I see what you mean but it doesn't feel as boastful here:

Earlier this spring I did a role in Jonas Akerlund's black comedy SMALL APARTMENTS, playing a hilarious self-help doctor who does his best to save the world from going insane. (First time since ROCKY IV my character didn't pick up a weapon...)

Thank you. Just checking.

When are we gonna get a production still or some kind of image giving us an idea of what his character looks like? We've had footage from the film... At least a glimpse at what the other starts in the film look like...

I haven't seen anything, all I know is Dolph has a special (dark-haired) look in this one that's meant to be a surprise. Sony will likely release some stills and a trailer soo though...

SMALL APARTMENTS finally comes out on February 19th!

(only DVD listed no Blu-ray from Sony?)

I'm really surprised Sony isn't going theatrical with this at all... If anything, at least in some of the smaller arthouses around the US, similar to how JCVD was released... Oh well...

They are (seems you missed the following post) releasing it limited... but in a new concept!

It actually will get a limited release February 8th through Tugg.com (users have to ask for the film in their local theater)!

The trailer is finally here! You might have to "rewind" to recognize Dolph!!

That looks hilarious! But that probably says a lot about me.

I'd probably see that if Dolph was never even attatched to it!

A very cool Twitch article from my very good friend Ben Umstead
http://twitchfilm.com/2012/12/small-apa ... ailer.html

Between Matt Lucas' vast arsenal of wigs, Billy Crystal's booze-hound of a detective, and, perhaps the icing on the cake, Dolph Lundgren as a motivational author, things look most assuredly weird, with a definite touch of Scandinavian humor transplanted to the sun-bleached bogusness of SoCal.

And while there appear to be no grandmothers in the film, we do have everybody else, including James Marsdan, Juno Temple, Peter Stormare, David Koechner, Rosie Perez, Amanda Plummer, James Caan and Johnny Knoxville. Is a list of names like this enough of an enticement for you to seek out the film? Or did they have you at Dolph Lundgren: Motivational Author?

Oh my, oh my, they both look so totally weird. I think I am going to watch this but I can already see myself cringing on the sofa.
