Hello,
Today is the date of the release of A Dog's Breakfast in France ("Mon beau, ma soeur et moi") and I've did an interview with David Hewlett to talk about it.
He's also talking about his projects, Starcrossed, Stargate Universe and even Doctor Who.
Okay. So the release date of “A Dog’s Breakfast” in France is scheduled for July the 1st, how do you feel about releasing the DVD of a movie that hasn’t been broadcasted in France?
You know, I have these very fond memories of France because we took “Cube”, a movie I did years and years ago with one of my oldest friends Vincenzo Natali, to the Paris film festival and we had, like, the best time of our lives. I absolutely loved it. And the film did very, very well in France as well so we…we love the French! It’s also just a way of life as well, something about being in Paris and touring around France that really made it sort of a magical time for us so, you know, it’s always been a place I’ve been dying to get back to at each chance I get. In fact Vincenzo has just finished doing, I suppose it’s in post-production work, a film called “Splice” that I did with him, which is a film that Guillermo Del Toro executive-produced. I think it could be out at the end of this year so…So we’re never that far away from France it seems.
Yes, and don’t worry, the French love you too!
Ha! Well that’s great, good, I should…I kick myself because I wish if I spoke better French maybe I could actually do some of your good movies. Especially in Canada as well, the French-Canadian movies are just so much more superior it seems than the rest of the country stuff. They make these amazing, amazing films.
So do you have any clue why the Fox/MGM is not keeping the original title for the release in France?
I don’t, no. There’s probably some geniuses in marketing somewhere who have decided that it’s better to sort of play with it. That’s one of those things that once you give your film up to a studio like this, they have to make the decisions because it’s basically their product at this point so they are going to do whatever they feel is the best for the film so it can be quite frustrating because, you know, that was the first [time] I’d heard of it when you told me so as a filmmaker and someone that has put so much time and energy into a film it’s such a hard thing to give up, you know.
