La Passione

[blueskev]

A little bit of news, in German, can someone translate it properly? Using babel fish for a very rough translation, it appears that Chris has finally managed to buy the rights for the film from Warners and he is going to make a new version to be released in 2011 on September 10th which was the date of Von Trips's death.

Hi Kev, to add I got this update kindly sent to me by Lily:-
"Hi Rich, it's been a while, hope you get to enjoy FL, preferably the East Coast? About Chris, the latest is he's doing a shorter remake of La Passione, and 2 other films. Plus there will be a tour in 2011, and the Autobio and new album are due sometime in September of 2011 as well, but not really confirmed just yet."

Hi from Basingstoke
Its nice to know so many regard La Passione as a fantastic piece of work. Lets hope Chris gets to know and thinks of trying to put it on. The Albert Hall in London would be a great venue. I know it would involve many musicians and an orchestra but what a venue to a go with this album and of course Shirley Bassey. Bring it on!!
So maybe one complete week so I am sure his many fans would travel across europe to watch it!!
