'The Loft', the American remake of Erik Van Looy's Loft that had its own Flemish blockbuster run, seems to be another success story. During a test screening recently near Los Angeles for an American audience was held. The film got 92 percent of the audience to score "good to very good '.
"We showed the film in Woodland Hills, Van Looy says. Test screenings are more often held out to LA professionals and journalists at bay. The result exceeded all expectations. There were 318 people in the room and no one walked out. Walk-outs are however, usually common at test screenings. They are free, and even if the movie is not finished and when it is no longer exciting, people get up [and leave]."
However, everyone was fascinated watching 'The Loft'. 'The beginning of the film has more humor than the Flemish version, and they laughed at exactly the right moments. Even when it became clear who did it, there was a sort of sigh of bewilderment that room. When I was given a satisfaction score of 92 percent, it dispelled all my nervousness; because a negative screening test can completely kill a movie. Then you change the end for example, or a character or make add additional footage. In short, it is often the start of a hellish ride when you know that it is not alright. Fortunately I saved it. This test screening may just about be the best night of my film career so far. "
The showing was so positive that a second screening was canceled and this means that negotiations with distributors can start right away. "To be clear: The Loft will be in American cinemas as well as Belgian and will not go directly to the DVD market. Now we can negotiate, because we want to bring out all the stops for our film. We are looking at the most appropriate time for the release date and therefore is not fixed yet. "
The Loft will not be completely finished until January. "Now I am working on the opening credits," says Erik Van Looy, who secretly hopes that his film is a second time blockbuster in Flanders.

he leido el texto que habeis escrito en el cual el director de la pelicula comenta que sera vista en eeuu y en belgica.espero que esto sea solo "de momento",porque si no es asi ,mi pregunta es:¿porque?...es que solo en estos paises se les da la aprobacion?......o es que que se tiene algun tipo de "temor" a que en los demas paises no tenga la misma aceptacion?.pienso que si es tan interesante como dicen....tendremos que tener ese placer de verla y opinar,yo por lo menos,ya que a mi me gusta este tipo de genero,porque a decir verdad,escasean...
Si, yo pienso lo mismo, creo que es solamente de momento, espero firmemente que la distribución será a nivel mundial...
gracias reina,aunque tambien tengo dudas si al final habra decidido incorporarase por fin en la 5 entrega de la pelicula resident evil...ya que perece ser que todavia no se sabe ¿nada?...perdona por tanta pregunta,pero como siempre os informais de todo...gracias ,otra vez.saludos.
Mila fue categórica en Tweeter:" Chris y Claire Redfield no son de la partida esta vez"...no creo que eso vaya a cambiar...comenzaron a filmar en setiembre...personalmente, me gustaría verlo en filmes más importantes, Alice,Umbrella y sus zombies es un tema totalmete agotado...
I agree with you Liz, Wentworth don't need the movie RE 5 ... 6 ... etc.. He can work in other projects. I think that is exactly what he will do. RE4 was not a good choice of work. Much publicity over his name, but there was little his participation in the film. I hope see him in some movie with a better story and more participation from him.
gracias por tu informacion,aunque en mi opinion ,pienso que entre la participacion en "house"y el final del rodaje de"loft"(con sus correspondientes entrevistas y presentaciones en el pais)no habra tenido tiempo o mas bien "esta entrega ",no le ha convencido nada.yo siempre digo que no hay que "encajarse"en un personaje,hay que ser capaz de encajar en todos los que se pueda...y el vale para ello si se lo propone y sobretodo "si"se lo proponen.
