Hollywood reporter quotes Scorsese's people on that he hasn't been able to campaign for The Departed, because he's working night and day on the Stones-dicumentary... I love the fact that he's listening to his heart. He clearly loves them. It's a favourite project of his, and since the Cannes Film Festival is the most prestigeous in the world - he's working his butt o

Levon was one of my neighbours in Woodstock back in the 80's. And believe me - he is a whiner! And he's an expert at finding something to whine about. The rest of the Band are actually proud of The Last Waltz. I knew Rick Danko well (Bless his soul and RIP), and he was Levon's opposite. A positive man with a great sense of humour, and a very big heart. Warm and including. Suppose t

Just found out that we're actually staying in the hotel pictured on several shots here...

Dear Beelyboy - and every person on this board who have jumped to conclusions, based on what I wrote... Please don't! The fear of this being another "Being Mick" is totally - .. well, that's just not the case. In one section of the film he uses 16 (sixteen!!!) cameras, and that's a lot - even for Scorsese.

I doubt that they will say goodbye to Cohl at this point, not with Prince Rupert retiring and everything. Not at the same time.

Sorry! I know this is late, but due to a few "accidents", like my computer being stolen, the schedule was insane, and finally an airline strike (SAS Sweden) etc...

It was only shown to the buyers at the marché du film, to which one needed a special kind of access c

His answer was to go out on one of his mist extensive tours of Scandinavia. he's busy with his own band, and will turn 71 while on tour. did anyone pick up in which newspaper this interview was printed?
