I was mildly pissed off they didn't ask him about Ghostbusters 3, as they did with Dan Akroyd and he confirmed that Murray is the one who is stopping it being made (Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis, Akroyd and Bill hold the rights). I know he won't do it because he's looking for fresh stuff and wants to leave it alone and not ruin it, but I'd like to hear him speak about it. Grr.

Hmm, most of that interview comes verbatim from the Rolling Stone interview which Thad mailed me... :D!
But it adds to the thread, so great! :D

I didn't think of that. That's a damn shame. I'd love to know what they've even considered for the film.

I toyed with the idea of buying that yesterday -- £6.99 -- but there appeared to be no extras, and I already have it on VHS.... so I bought a film called Wendigo in the stead!

Seems like William has won the daily poll at IMDB (cause like, who gives a fuck about the bird). Not too much competition though. On another note every fucking publication and program that has reviewed Lost In Translation has tipped him for an Oscar, kiss of fucking death or what. In fact, I just remembered I was gonna download it. Oh, poll results here

for those that havent read the interview on lost in translation official site yet...here's a comment on how it is to work with bill (must be excellent i have no doubt heh):
"I remember we were having trouble with an owner of one location, and Bill ran over and was very funny, literally scooped the guy up in his arms and swung him around and said, "C'mon, c'mon! We just need another hour! C'mon!" He was incredible, and he was a big part of why we were able to make the movie in the way that we were able to make it. I was awed being around him. On the personal side, he's generous and kind. He's also one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, articulate, and literate people that I've ever met. He'd wrap up equipment with the crew. And for those of us who were exhausted from shooting all night, he'd ask us to come down to his room and enjoy some eggs and bacon and champagne, and watch the World Series game."

the whole crew apperantly had great time while working on this film:
"There was so much friendship born throughout the process, we ended up actually having three wrap parties because people didn't want to let go or say goodbye. On Bill's last night of shooting, we had assembled the American crew and the Japanese crew, and we had a party at a funky Chinese restaurant. We had the best time. The vibe was so great, the energy was so great, everybody wanted to be there to say goodbye to Bill. It was Bill and all of us dancing until 4:30 in the morning. We all went home, showered and changed, and about 40 minutes later Sofia and I and a small amount of the crew got on a train to Kyoto to shoot the entire Kyoto sequence."

I'll probably do that as well, get it off Amazon :) I forgot to mention in here the Garfield trailer is up, it looks horrendous. Plus, is that even Bill doing the voice? Looks like a real dog... ahem.

bill and scarlett are awesome:
in a watered down, halfway-romatic, hardly funny (will elaborate on this soon), plot? nope.
music was brilliant; don't remember it. and I was looking for SOMETHING to ease the pain of it all. i spent 3.50$ to watch this, and wanted my money back afterwards. Music didnt' strike me at all.
japan looks cool:
you're one of those people who like watching those "funniest commercial" montages on tv, aren't you?
very emotional scenes:
anything but. give me an exact scene.
very funny scenes:
ok, here we go. the ONLY funny scene in that was the gay japanese tv show host. other than that, it's cheassy assed "japan meets westerner" chiche's are horrible; and not that elaborate or deep.
oooooh, look! he's taller than them! HAr Har! look! he can't fit in the shower! why?! cause he's taller than them! jar jar! the director for the wisky commercial is saying a bunch of stuff, and the translator only translates a few words, HAHA!
he plays (practically; old washed up actor, doing cheasy endorsments [however, i don't know if murray actually DOES endorsements]) himself in japan.
ALL THIS MOVIE IS, IS HIS WAY TO PAY FOR THE TRIP TO JAPAN! god damn, this movie's horrible.

i'll reply properly when i get home.
can you tell me what do you expect out of the movie? and obviously you're not too fond of murray, i mean those scenes with him being tall, not fitting the shower...aren't supposed to be funny imo, they're there not to make film too depressive...
i love japanese films (eureka, dolls, railroad man,...) above all, but i liked this one a lot as well.

It seems that you're trying to paint this as a "depressed romantic comedy w/ comic relief." I didn't find it like that at all. There was hardly any plot; whatsoever. And goddamn! let off the cliche's!
i wasn't expecting anything. all i ever read about it was the "beautiful shots of japan;" from this board. heh, INFACT i wasn't even expecting bill murray! i thought this was a "barraka-esque" doccumentary of japan (which would have blown my socks off, btw!!!). When i was at the theater; and saw bill murray on the poster, i was like...hmmmm, does he host this? I had NO expectations, whatsoever.
i dig bill murray; but i dont' hero-worship him. "What about bob's" one of my fav's. This movie, HAS to be the worst. it's crap.

again, i'll try and explain a little better why i thought it was good when i get back home...
i like movies with great picture and music and both things were beautiful in this one.
it is a depressing romantic film but without many cliches, it was very real, i got that exact feeling - being with someone you really like and you can talk to about anything, and it doesnt have to be romantic at all - as this wasnt neither. they had great time together and that what it was all about and it seemed very real to me.
i can't think properly now cos im in a hurry but i'll try and explain it better when i get home :)
