It seems like this film is amazingly under the radar right now. But when I was in England, our good friend Mark Romanek was filming a movie adapted from the book of the same name by Kazuo Ishiguro and I got to visit him on the set and sneak into his edit room on a weekend and see some of it. I don’t know what I can and cant say about it but I love the story. Even just a few scenes he showed me on their own were really moving. The combination of a science fiction film handled very subtly and naturalistically that also made me cry and is beautifully photographed (Adam Kimmel) is a trifecta. Congrats Mark!! We will post more as we can. Here is a shot stolen from the edit room that gives some sense of the look of the film and Mark at lunch on weekend. We had insane japanese food at a place called Roca on Charlotte street.

Is that Holkham Beach?
i love roca.
insanely delicious.
Seems very interesting.
I’ll be there to see this the first day. Mark’s quality of work has so far been extraordinarily extraordinary.
can’t wait to see this movie, if Mark’s music videos provide any clue to its quality and attention to detail. A great connection with Spike as two of the truly inspiring music video directors of the nineties.
Hurrah Mark! Cannot wait to see this. Come home soon. We miss Mrs. R.
Looks really interesting Mark, I hope its a major success!
Thanks Spike for sharing.
