The Fly - David Cronenberg (1986)
lu sur Davisdvd :
Filmmaker David Cronenberg recently talked to CineSchlock-O-Rama about the upcoming DVD release of his early film Rabid. Naturally, the interview segues into his 1986 shock-fest The Fly:
CINESCHLOCKORAMA: You've had a pretty good run recently with DVDs. Especially, the Criterion release of Naked Lunch and now this appropriate ode to Rabid. Please, please, please tell me The Fly is next.
CRONENBERG: Fox once phoned wanting me to do a commentary for The Fly. I said, "Sure, as long as I get to oversee the transfer." It's never looked right except in theaters. Once it hit TV and so on, it was always too bright. They said, "No, we won't do that." [Laughs.] And I said, "Then I'm not doing the commentary." There won't be a good DVD until Fox, or whoever they delegate it to, is willing to let me oversee that transfer, which as you might expect is an important thing for the fans and for me since, as I say, it's never been seen in homes the way it's supposed to look -- ever. I've heard that there are rumors of a Halloween special edition or whatever. I don't know why Fox wouldn't do it. I mean the amount of money involved is very minimal these days. These transfers can be done in Toronto and they can be done in Los Angeles. Mark Irwin, who shot The Fly, lives in L.A., so I just can't understand their attitude. They just didn't want to bother. So, I would say, unless you see an edition of The Fly that has a commentary by me and says 'Director Approved,' or something like that, then it's just not going to be a good one.

Alors en gros il veut bien enregistrer un commentaire audio pour une édition spéciale, si en échange il peut superviser le transfert (comme il l'a fait par exemple sur le Criterion de Faux Semblants). Pour lui le film est trop clair et n'a jamais été proposé tel qu'il devrait être, à la télé ou en vidéo. Apparemment la Fox ne veut pas, il ne comprend pas bien pourquoi. En tout cas, au final, si l'édition qui sort (ils préparent apparemment un truc spécial Halloween) n'a pas de commentaire audio de Cronenberg, elle ne sera pas approuvée par le réalisateur, donc pas conforme à ses désirs.
Voilà
Voilà

pour résumer vite, la Fox a appellé Cronenberg pour lui proposer d'enregistrer un commentaire audio pour une nouvelle édition de la mouche, il a repondu ok si j'ai un droit de regard sur le transfert du film, la fox a dit non.
Cronenberg estime que la mouche tel qu'il existe pour l'instant en dvd n'est pas conforme à son désir (trop lumineux entre autre) et comprend pas pourquoi la fox refuse son drit de regard sur le nouveau transfert.
En conclusion tout dvd de la mouche sans commentaire audio de cronenberg donc "non approuvé" par lui est a eviter

"What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I'm the goddamn BATMAN!"
Ce sont vraiment des connards dans ces grosses boites, refuser que Cronenberg supervise un transfert en contrepartie d'un commentaire audio c'est bien l'un des choses les plus stupides qui soient surtout pour un film aussi connu et réputé que The Fly dont beaucoup d'amateurs attendent enfin une édition à la hauteur du film.
Ils font vraiment chier à la Fox

Sur le Criterion du Festin Nu, plutôt, non ?Prodigy a écrit :Alors en gros il veut bien enregistrer un commentaire audio pour une édition spéciale, si en échange il peut superviser le transfert (comme il l'a fait par exemple sur le Criterion de Faux Semblants).

Sinon wé, c'est clair que c'est assez scandaleux que ce film n'ait pas une édition décente. Marre du petit DVD à 10€ que l'on touve dans les kiosques... Quand on vénère ce film, c'est franchement indigne

update par le producteur de cette édition spéciale, David prior (Fight club, Die Hard, Panic room) :
So here's the latest. David's commentary has been done for a long time. As you'd expect from him, it's terrific. He felt he said everything he needed to say there, so he has (so far, I'm still bugging him) declined an on-camera interview. He's busy making new movies and prefers not to dwell overly on the past. Pretty understandable.
Reassembling the deleted reel from boxes of unmarked negative and without logs or notes has been, shall we say, challenging. The good news is Cronenberg has approved most of it. Not all of it, but the majority of it.
I've been pestering, needling and making a general nuissance of myself at Fox to let me produce this DVD since I started doing this job and now it's in the home stretch. More details will come when Fox is ready, but hopefully this will tide you over till then.
