Looks like this time the lead actor traded his plastic bag+video camera(American Beauty) for a Leila! Well done! Sometimes the Sundance Channel will show the original movies on weekends. Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kyle Cassidy" Subject: [Leica] m8 features prominently in a new movie ... a few years back i became a fan of a quiet thai movie called "shutter" about a photographer who, in a very "omen" way, begins to capture photos of ghosts (that look a lot like light leaks) on film. it's relatively low budget and doesn't really bring anything new to the horror table, but it's a nice movie and has some legitimate thrills in it. i ordered the VCD from a hong-kong distributer after reading about it in some back issue of Asian Cult Cinema -- WELL, long story short, philfo just handed me a pair of tickets to ... tada -- AN AMERICAN REMAKE because we know it's impossible for americans to watch a movie with little words along the bottom -- the remake features what looks to be an M8 in nearly all of the promotional photos: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2536216832/tt0482599 as someone who bought a leica in large part because of seeing one in a movie (High Art was the one that tipped the scales for me) all i can say to solms is: rock on! it's about time you got with the product placement. kc _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
