Has anyone seen the reading list that's mentioned on the extras that was sent to actors before the shooting? I'd love to know what he recommended.
A decade (!) later, with no sign of this appearing on any of the DVD or Blu-ray releases, or appearing anywhere online, I've finally pulled out my VHS and uploaded this making-of documentary to YouTube. The catch? The tape was copy-protected, so instead of transferring it to DVD, I had to film the VHS playing via my iPhone (with the sound of my dog occasionally wandering around in the background) and hand-stabilised the resulting footage. Until someone with the tape can crack the encryption and upload a better-quality copy, this will have to do!JamesF wrote: Wed Jun 23, 2010 8:19 pm The UK VHS - which I've still held onto after all these years - had a 30-minute making of documentary that is unfortunately missing from this. Mainly EPK fluff, and of course no sign of Malick, but even so, had some tantalising (if very brief) glimpses into a few deleted scenes.
Using a camcorder as an intermediate tape deck is a good way of getting around copy protection. Doesn't work every single time though and it's of course dependent on the camcorder (the ones that used the mini tapes seem to have the most luck).JamesF wrote: Tue Feb 18, 2020 3:39 pmA decade (!) later, with no sign of this appearing on any of the DVD or Blu-ray releases, or appearing anywhere online, I've finally pulled out my VHS and uploaded this making-of documentary to YouTube.
