OCTOBER 2007
10/31/07 In a recent interview with Jim Bohannon, Jim
Caviezel talked a bit about what fans can expect from Outlander. He didn’t actually say much about the movie
at all, as the interview was mostly about a recent project that is an audio
version of the Bible. He did mention
though when we might be able to expect the film to grace theaters:
People will be profoundly blown away
It will be released around the same
time 300 was released last year, around
February, March some time. And a lot of heat on it right now... If you like the
Passion, If you like the Count of Monte Cristo you will love Outlander.
You can download the
entire podcast here, but note that they
don’t keep them up for much more than two weeks so if you want to have a listen
you won’t want to wait too long.
He definitely sounds
enthusiastic about the project as the post-production crew works to finish
up. We’ve suspected an early spring
release for a while, and it would make sense that the Weinstein Company would
try and go for the same audience that 300 found. We’ll let you all know as soon as there is
any official word on a concrete release date that we can count down to.
10/30/07 We’re constantly looking for ways to
improve the site. In our effort to
maintain accuracy we’ve added a number of names once again to our crew page. We’re constantly impressed by the level of
talent working on bringing the Viking epic of Outlander to life, and the newest
names are no exception. This weeks
additions include Clancy Silver, a digital compositor who’s work includes
Silent Hill and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. You
can check out his show reel at his site here. One of the other additions is Ryan Yee, a
senior animator who has worked on films such as Happy Feet, The Wild, and the
upcoming Golden Compass. Find out more
about Ryan at his site here.
10/25/07 An Important day slipped past and we
forgot to mention it. A week and a year
ago Outlander began filming in Newfoundland.
Monday October 16th marked the first day of shooting and a
week later on the 23rd the production moved to Nova Scotia for the
remainder of the shoot. Years of
preproduction came to an end and Outlander started to become a reality on that
day.
The call for
casting went out almost at the same time as for effects artists. One of the earliest job postings we’ve come
across was dated August 2006. Spin Productions started work on
the computer effects almost the same time if not before shooting started, and
have pretty much been working on them steady for the entire year since. If they reach their target, they should be
finishing up rendering the final scenes very soon if they haven’t done so
already. We hope the various effects
people will take a day off and enjoy having completed another job well done.
Hopefully we don’t
need to wait another year to see the movie.
Hopefully we’ll hear more conclusive news soon. December 13th marks the one year
anniversary of outlander.solsector.net so hopefully we’ll try and put some neat
things together to mark the occasion.
Any suggestions and any submissions or other news items can be submitted
to outlander@solsector.net.
10/19/07 We’d like to apologize for not
updating more in the last two weeks.
Granted it has been slow newswise but there’s things we *could* have
written about. On a more important note:
NOTICE:
Our personal ISP
messed up our email account (this is entirely unrelated to hosting for
outlander.solsector.net) and any emails you may have submitted in the last week
were potentially lost or returned. This
issue has been resolved and anything
sent to outlander@solector.net should redirect to
us just fine now We kindly request that
if you have submitted any news items or other emails, that you please resend
them.
Thank-you for your
understanding
10/11/07 Once more we’ve updated the crew page
with a handful of new names. Among the newest additions is Winston Lee, a
digital compositor whose portfolio website can be found here. Check it out to see samples of his past work.
10/01/07 The iconic boat from Outlander
recently took another step toward being a permanent fixture in the Lark Harbour area.
Previously we mentioned that the town was given the boat after the film shoot had
finished in Newfoundland. The town was
considering fixing up the ship and installing it at nearby Blow Me Down
provincial park. As reported the other
day in the Western Star, that dream came one more step towards reality.
In a recent article, it was anounced that as part of their plans relating to oil production in
the area, Tekoil would be spending on a number of community related endeavors
such as Scholarships and various benefit packages. Included in the anouncement though was that “Tekoil has committed to having the boat used in the
major motion film Outlander (which was shot in the town last year) transported
to the area and put on display.”
Of course, despite such an outpouring of money,
there is always those opposed to such industry and should the developments move
elsewhere we imagine that so would the funds slated for this project.
