Just cancelled the commentary on Interiors today "at the request of the studio."

Redman's arrogance was rewarded with a slapdown. Love it.

Re: Twilight Time
I was only aware of the fact that Allen didn't want commentaries on DVD/BD releases of his films. Is there anything else to the story? I'm not familiar with Redman, etc.

Re: Twilight Time
Allen doesn't like extras and his contracts give him extraordinary control over his home releases. Literally everyone knows this, so Redman was trying to pull a fast one

This is why the Arrow boxes opted for hefty hardback books - although only after checking that he was happy with those. (Thankfully, he was.)
And yes, I can confirm first hand that everything has to be personally approved by his office: disc and book contents, artwork, you name it. He signed an extraordinarily generous contract with United Artists in 1971 whose provisions span all the films that he made for UA and Orion and remain in force to this day.

Re: Twilight Time
Given how well book sales are doing, you'd think there'd be another quick reissue just to cash in.

Re: Twilight Time
Any knowledge on why the books were approved and video supplements are not? I haven't purchased any of the boxsets, so I don't know what's in the books. Does he not like his films disected and analyzed?MichaelB wrote:This is why the Arrow boxes opted for hefty hardback books - although only after checking that he was happy with those.

Re: Twilight Time
I've no idea. But we knew upfront that there was no chance of putting anything on the discs apart from the trailer (something recently reinforced by the Twilight Time Interiors story), and we wanted to add something, so we developed volume 1 on spec, sent it off for approval, crossed our fingers tightly...
...and he said yes. Or someone in his office did, which amounts to the same thing.

Is there something similar with Spielberg?hearthesilence wrote:I was only aware of the fact that Allen didn't want commentaries on DVD/BD releases of his films.
I think Spielberg should do a commentary for all of Allen's films, and Allen for Spielberg's.

Re: Twilight Time
Allen doesn't like "talking over the movie", period. Witness this encounter with the NY Times who were doing a series on directors discussing favourite movies - there's no way he wants a commentary track running over his films because he wants people only to watch them (which is ironic considering that he never watches his own films again once the editing is over)

Re: Twilight Time
You know, there are some Woody Allen dvds or blurays that have seemingly significant extra features on them. A foreign dvd of Small Time Crooks has an Allen interview, and a dvd or bluray which I think is for an English-speaking country of Blue Jasmine has a Q&A on it. I wonder why Mister Woody let that slip?
