The Sandman - Dario Argento & Iggy Pop

[Alex K.]

It would be nice after the last 20 years of crap he finally made one last good film.

Dario's director statement from the official Fuckface... er... Facebook page:

"I am a child of Poe. When I was a boy, reading his dark dreams had a profound impact on me, playing no small part in shaping my own, as I grew into a filmmaker. The lineage to which he belongs - his Dark Romanticism - is my own as well… and as Poe's vision had such an influence on my own, so the beautifully warped and surreal nightmares of E.T.A. Hoffmann played no small part in creating the world of E. A. Poe.
This is why directing THE SANDMAN is, in so many ways, like coming home. Though David Tully's screenplay is a sleek and very contemporary thriller that belongs to the twenty-first century, its primal roots lie in the dark forests of Germany that spawned the Gothic, through the tale of Hoffmann that is its basis.
This is the vein I am tapping, in shaping my darkest vision yet: a state-of-the-art funhouse of fear and mystery that also reintroduces us to the very dawn of horror, through the Gothic tale that shaped Poe, refashioned as a giallo for a new generation.
My SANDMAN will cast a complex spell, and bring my vision full circle."
Dario Argento

Apparently this is going to take the crowdfunding route.

HAHA..

Good poster does not necessarily mean good movie

Just cut ALL expectations right now...and STILL be prepared to be disappointed when you see the finished product!

Very cool poster. I wonder if he found any backers yet?

I like the Poster, has a kind of old school Tenebrae/Inferno feeling to it.

It isn't like we've seen Asia naked before in her father's films...

Wasn't talking about her though.......

IDracula was horrifically bad.

But it was so-bad-it-was-mouth-dropping..so well worth a watch.....plus it had naked breasts..so cant be the WORST film ever made...

I like Iggy. I did like Argento. And he's done enough awesome that he's allowed to hammer his rep into the clay. And hes' doing a fine job of that. Dracula was horrifically bad. I'll probably check it out anyway. But i'm expecting suck.

I only remember him in CROW CITY OF ANGELS......

I believe Igg's last performance was in COFFEE AND CIGARETTES with Tom Waits.
He was great.

Everyone just needs to learn to appreciate the finer sides of art.

EXACTLY!!!

I'm calling Adult Protective Services on your ass.

Roderick, my good man......I WORK for Adult Protective Services!!...How do you think I got the idea!

[Terry C]

You CAN......but nobody says that YOU have to watch him do it!!!!

Also, if he has been painting the walls with his own doodoo and it has been FANTASTIC and everyone is in awe of it....then of course he can continue doing it when he is older but no one appreciates it anymore as his technical skill has deteriorated..

Besides...Everyone gets shit at what they do as they get older.....

Everyone just needs to learn to appreciate the finer sides of art.
