Update: Are The Right Subtitles On Let The Right One In Yet?!
2 July 2009 4:09 PM, PDT
Several months back, we had posted an article with a side-by-side comparison of an early screener of Let The Right One In along with the recently released DVD/Blu-Ray version from Magnolia Pictures. We were shocked to discover such a discrepancy in the subtitles from version to version.
While we're sure this kind of loss in translation happens all the time with foreign films, it seemed baffling as to why a film that had been playing for months in limited theatrical release with accurate subtitles (to critical praise) would suddenly sport a completely different translation for the home video release. (Especially considering the screener copies sent out to reviewers all had the original translations) We theorized that possibly someone in Magnolia's home video department just thought it'd be cheaper to not pay the original translater (credited to Ingrid Eng) and just have someone else redo them. (Just a theory.)

Director Announced For Predators!

After much on-line speculation, Ain't It Cool confirmed with producer Robert Rodriguez that director Nimrod Antal will helm Predators, the upcoming new film in the Predator franchise. Antal also directed Vacancy (a film I enjoyed quite a lot), as well as the upcoming Armored, which is apparently the flick that helped get him this gig.
Rodriguez checked in with Ain't It Cool to reveal some of the first details about Predators. Here's some snippets.
- In regards to Rodriguez's role as a producer on Predators: "I lobbied to have the movie done through my studios so I could oversee it in a stronger position than a producer usually takes on.
