i think when he says 'public', i think its a pretty small test screening to those in the know...rather than the 'actual' public...its probably a screening more to those involved than 'general' nobodies...

Could be the general cast and crew screening + their select few friends to see the work they all contributed on and then to gauge reactions as they head into the next phase of post-production, ie. more cutting, tightening things here and there, and just making things tiddy before it gets screened to a larger more PUBLIC audience.

I could be wrong in all of this, but generally, when the score is being completed that means the picture is Locked and the necessarily changes and cuts have already been made.

Checking out the production credits over at the imdb yeilding a bit of insight, but it appears to be a largely 'independent' production outside of the major studios aside from market distribution to the various regions of the world.

Once again, I might be, and probably am wrong on a great deal of this so if any of the parties involved would care to comment that would probably help clarify. I'm sure a press release and some more production info will be coming down the pipe in a matter of weeks and months.

One last thing. On that link above to the production it listed Miramax as a production company and The Weinstein Co. as a distributor. Seeing as how Harvey and Bob have split from Miramax and Disney I would which entity is involved and to which extent, seeing as how the imdb isn't always the most reliable source of information from time to time.

Their dog is so cute! I bet he/she is the tamest Dalmatian.

There was a screening in New York/Manhattan yesterday at the Chelsea Clearview (?) so messages on the imdb say.

"Breaking and Entering was excellent. I submitted a longer comment to IMDB that should be posted in a few days, but here is the gist: Minghella's direction is excellent. He is an acute observer of human relationships. He finds the right pace and tone for the story. The acting is top-notch all around. Jude Law gives his best performance. Minghella always brings out the best in him. Juliette Binoche is sublime and Robin Wright Penn is radiant. Rafi Gavron is outstanding and Vera Farmiga and Martin Freeman are very funny in smaller roles. The cinematography is stunning and the score was very modern and elegant. It was a rough cut, and I can't wait to see the finished film when it gets released."

"Minghella's got a winner here. Will it receive any Oscar nods? I think Binoche certainly deserves one, though the performances are great across the board. Vera Farmiga is the crowd pleaser, though, when it comes to the movie's humor. She plays a Romanian prostitute whose frank dialogue with Jude Law's character, Will, had the audience in stitches. Her performance is not to be missed."

"I think if the recent AMPAS trend for smaller character dramas continues, I could defiently see Breaking and Entering nominated for Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Supporting Actress (not sure about the placement though, both Robin Wright Penn and Juliette Binoche have about the same amount of screen time. It could be Penn-lead Binoche-supporting or vice versa. A case could be made for each.), Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing and Score. But with an August release date it could very well be ignored."

August release date??

Chelsea Clearview! dammit! i was there last night as a meeting point for a friend. GRRR!

speaking of Dada (f/ today's post)

anyone in the DC area should check out the Dada exhibit at the National Gallery. It was suprisingly big, and had some really great pieces.

That's what they say (for the USA) on the "release dates" line in the "Other Info" box... IMDb not always having the most accurate infos though...
