Lost In Translation on DVD

Post by **BlueChair** » Sat Jan 10, 2004 6:46 pm

I know a lot of people on the board are fans of the recent film Lost In Translation, so I thought I'd let everyone know that it will be released on DVD (at least in North America) on February 3rd.

Special Features include:

- A conversation with director Sofia Coppola and actor Bill Murray
- "Lost on Location" - behind-the-scenes featurette including exclusive footage shot by the filmmakers
- Deleted scenes
- "Matthew's Best Hit TV" - an extended version of the Japanese TV show
- Music video
- Trailers

Was that a real tv show? Japan is a crazy place....I laughed at the bit when she saw some bloke openly reading pornography, that stuff is rife over there!

crow,

I don't think it's a real TV show.

Sometimes when director's shoot their films, they'll actually shoot entire fake TV shows. For example, in Magnolia, Paul Thomas Anderson shot the whole "What Do Kids Know?" show, and in A Mighty Wind, Christopher Guest filmed the entire benefit concert (and later included on the DVD), not just the footage used in the film.

Yeah, you're probably right, but I meant that it might be based on a real show...it really wouldnt surprise me! This is the country of Extreme endurance shows!

a man was arrested here for showing pornographic videos in his vehicle. apparently, he was in traffic so his choice of viewing material was readily apparent. unfortunately for him, he also had two drunk teenage girls along for the ride.

Here's the ordering link via the link at the top of this page. Please take the trouble to see this film in a cinema, if at all possible.

Definitely see it in the cinema if you can. But if you like it, buy the DVD, so you can have your own personal home copy

Has anyone ever seen people video recording stuff in the cinema?

They warn us to be vigilant against that before all the films now..I've never seen it happening YET.

I'm not sure if this has been posted in any guise but there is a UK TV promo for this film (which is only just out over here) and the music in it is EC&TA's (or Nick Lowe and His Sound) playing Peace, Love & Understanding.

That's Elvis singing on the adverts for it. I'll be seeing this tomorrow, and over the next few days A Mighty Wind, American Splendor and the three LOTR movies back to back.

The soundtrack doesn't contain any of the karaoke songs, whether it be in their original form or with the actor's singing.

You can check out the soundtrack here:

No, at the Philharmonic Hall. LiT, AMW and AS I'm seeing at FACT, off Bold St. You should come down just for the trilogy showing!

can't wait for the dvd. i had to go see the movie the day it came out here (which was a month after it came out everywhere else) because any movie worth a shit is out of the theatre in a week around here. i think that the version of pl&u in the movie is a karaoke version of the song.

On the subject of soundtrack's featuring the actors singing (but off the topic of Lost in Translation for a moment), does anyone know if it is possible to get a soundtrack of the David Byrne film "True Stories" that actually features John Goodman singing "People Like Us" as opposed to the Talking Heads version which is used on the supposed OST CD? I thought that Goodman's singing on that was unbelievably good, err... man!!

Maybe it is not true for the UK version of the soundtrack - but in the US the soundtrack contains a hidden track at the end of Bill Murray singing "More Than This" - which was one of my favorite parts of the movie.

Can't wait for the DVD!

Bill Murray and Sofia Coppola will be on Letterman tonight and tomorrow night respectively (Feb 12 and 13)... probably to promote the film.
