I know we have a thread about film plans in general, but since this is news on a specific movie, I thought it may need a separate thread:

John Malkovich, Evangeline Lilly and Romain Duris shooting Afterwards in Canada this summer - A Canada / France Co-production

MONTREAL, April 13 /CNW Telbec/ - French filmmaker Gilles Bourdos (Inquiétudes, Disparus, Relâche) will direct the supernatural thriller Afterwards this summer in Montreal. Afterwards, which is co-produced by France's Fidélité Films and Canada's Christal Film Productions, will be entirely shot in English. It will star John Malkovich (The Libertine, Being John Malkovich), Romain Duris (Molière, L'Auberge espagnole) and Canadian Evangeline Lilly (Lost), who passed over several other enticing Hollywood offers to makes her feature film debut in Afterwards.

The screenplay, written by Gilles Bourdos and Michel Spinosa, is an adaptation of the French novel Et après... by Guillaume Musso. The shooting will last 45 days, will begin in New York City on June 4th, and will continue in Montreal as of July 7th. The Montreal portion of the shoot is expected to last about 25 days. Key crew members include Taiwanese cinematographer Mark Lee Ping-bin (In the Mood for Love) and Montreal-based production designer Anne Pritchard.

Afterwards tells the story of Nathan (Romain Duris), a lawyer who is absorbed by his work and finds himself drifting away from his ex-wife (Evangeline Lilly) and daughter. He meets Joseph Kay (John Malkovich), a mysterious doctor who claims to be able to predict people's deaths.

Afterwards is produced by Marc Missonnier and Olivier Delbosc for Fidélité Films, and by Christian Larouche and Christian Gagné for Christal Films Productions. The film will be distributed in Canada by Christal Films, and will be released theatrically in 2008.

[Willemijn]

Sounds interesting. I can't wait to hear more about this. I'll be going to see this movie :w00t:

[Jenna]

I hope we get some behind the set pics and stuff when it starts fliming.

[LovelyLight]

If Evie wasn't in this film, I don't think I'd go see it, but anything she's in I'd watch! :w00t:

[Jenna]

I think this film will be a really good move for her career.

[charmedlfreak]

Wow her first major film role. So exciting, cant wait to see it.

Hopefully this will lead her to a good career in the future.

Sounds great for Evie!!

Is this source reliable?

[*AnGeL_EyEs*]

Go evi :w00t: I think she is going to be amazing on the big screen :D

[Jenna]

Is this source reliable?

It's reliable, considering that many different news sources have published articles about it.

And it would be quite a random thing to make up.

[Castaway86]

Awesome news! :w00t:

[*Pauly*]

oo supernatural thriller me likey :drool:

[Mylene]

I'm so happy for Evie!:w00t:
Romain Duris is one of the coolest and best French actors, he makes intelligent and artistic choices in his movies, plus Malkovich is reconginzed for his great talent too!:D
I can't wait! Though it'll be strange not to see her with Josh on the screen:giggle:

[EmotionalOne]

Yay!! Can't wait for this :)

[buffyfan145]

The movies sounds really great!!! :w00t: I can't wait to see Evie in this!!!

[liz815]

I'm so happy for Evi!:D :w00t:

[JateIsJexy]

I'm happy for her too, I mean she must be really happy, it looks likt Lost has brought much more movie deals for her, which is great to hear :w00t: :D

[Alevermor]

I wish her the best of luck

But I wonder if we'll be seeing less of her on Lost next season, since the movie will probably come out some time when they're filming season 4. She'll have to do the whole press tour thing. I hope they can work around her schedule.

[Jenna]

^ No it won't. The filming only takes place in June and July which are when Lost is on hiatus.

I'm sure they can work around her schedule so she can promote it. She does press circuits and talkshows to promote Lost all the time and they just work it around her schedule.

[Alevermor]

But promoting Lost, she's usually on the mainland for a few days. That covers LA and NY, and usually she does either-or. I do believe that press junkets for movies take a bit longer than that...a few weeks. I think, depending on how big the movie it. If it's a big movie, then they have to do an international press tour...but I don't think she'd do that...I hope.

[Nanci Gemma]

It's great news for Evi!
^^I doubt that promoting would be a problem since Foxy was able to do We Are Marshall and that worked out fine. Like Jenna said most of the actual filming will be done during the hiatus anyway.
So no worries ;)

[Wavey]

great news, the movie sounds interesting :)
definitely going to see it if it'll play in european cinemas, but I doubt that :shifty: ... well it's a coproduction, maybe it will, lol

[Jenna]

It's only been scheduled for a Canadian release so far, but I'm sure it will get a US release too.

[razgriz]

It's only been scheduled for a Canadian release so far, but I'm sure it will get a US release too.

You know what this calls for America.....?/

PETITION!!!!

Bet this movie will be good, even if it is released straight to DVD. (But it sounds worthy for the big screen!!!:please:)

[Jenna]

I wouldn't worry about it but if you are concerned then you should start one.

[razgriz]

Here is the imdb profile of Afterwards:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0940580/

Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) is now credited among with Evangeline Lilly and John Malkovich.

Pretty exciting in my opinion! Such talent.

[Rosie xx]

Forrest Whittaker too!Yay!Evi's part is meant to be pretty central to the plot so yay for Evi!

[Elms]

I don't think Forest is part of the film. Not anymore anyway. A few months ago, he was rumored to be in talks to play the role of Nathan. But that part now belongs to Romain. :)

[Jenna]

I remember reading that somewhere too. But he didn't end up being cast in the role.

Playback :: Malkovich, Lilly set for Afterwards (http://www.playbackmag.com/articles/daily/20070503/afterwards.html)

Malkovich, Lilly set for Afterwards
by: Patricia Bailey May 3, 2007 Print Share email this article

MONTREAL -- John Malkovich, Evangeline Lilly and Romain Duris are set to star in the fantasy thriller Afterwards, a Canada-France coproduction set to start June 4 in Montreal.

Helmed by French director/screenwriter Gilles Bourdos (Inquiétudes, Relâche), the $10-million international coproduction between Canada's Christal Films Productions and France's Fidelite Films recounts the tale of a lawyer (Duris) whose obsession with his work distances him from his wife (Lilly) and daughter. Malkovich plays a doctor who claims to have supernatural powers.

The project marks the feature film debut for Alberta-born Lilly, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role on Lost. Producer Christian Larouche believes both Lilly and Malkovich took on the project because of the script, cowritten by Bourdos and Michel Spinosa (the pair also collaborated on Inquiètudes). "The characters are simply wonderful. It's Lilly's film debut, so she wouldn't have taken it on unless she absolutely loved it. It's the kind of film which will get people in the theaters," says Larouche, who is also the president of Christal Films.

Though based on French writer Guillaume Musso's novel Et après..., the screenplay was written in English. "Gilles divides his time between Paris and New York. They were very comfortable writing it in English," explains Larouche.

Christal, which will distribute the film outside the U.S., provided 30% of the film's financing, but raised the cash without help from Telefilm Canada or SODEC. "We didn't need to go to the funding agencies. We used the tax credit. Foreign sales will complete the balance," says Larouche, adding that shooting in Montreal made economic sense for their French partner. "It's cheaper for them because of the tax credit. And we can make Montreal look like anywhere in the world."

Larouche is confident Afterwards will do well domestically: "English Canada is important for us. We think this film has excellent potential for market penetration." The producers hope a U.S. distributor will also come on board.

Taiwanese cinematographer Mark Lee Ping-bin (In the Mood for Love) and Montreal-based production designer Anne Pritchard will also work on the film.

Christal plans a 2008 Canadian theatrical release for Afterwards. Half of the six-week shoot takes place in Montreal, following a stay in New York. Scenes will also be shot in New Mexico.

Thanks for that article! I hope they find a US distributor too! I wanna see it!

[Luci]

I can't wait to see Evi on the big screen, but it's probably gonna take forever to get here, if we ever get it.

[je_suis_jess]

I'll see every film that contains Evie! Anybody have pics?

There aren't any pics out because they haven't started filming yet. :)

Fidelite lines up English-language pics

Films to star Lilly, Malkovich, Duris
By ALISON JAMES
Posted: Thurs., May 17, 2007, 6:51am PT

CANNES -- After its English language debut with Francois Ozon's "Angel," French shingle Fidelite is prepping a series of English-language pics with the likes of "Black Book" star Carice Van Houten, "Lost's" Evangeline Lilly, John Malkovich and Romain Duris.

Company behind Emir Kusturica's in competition pic "Promise Me This" is about to go into production on French helmer Gilles Bourdos' E10 million ($13.5 million) "Afterwards."

Thriller will begin shooting in early June in New York, New Mexico and Montreal. Canada's Crystal Films is co-producing.

Duris plays a man who is warned by a mysterious third party that his days are numbered, leading him to take some radical decisions about what he is going to do with what is left of his life.

Pic is produced in association with Malkovich's shingle, Mr. Mudd.

[Jenna]

Thanks for the new article!

[Snooobie]

Evi is coming to my city:w00t: I wish it were Josh though ;p

[razgriz]

Every time I read news about this movie, I get a little excited.

Anyway, I have a positive outlook that this movie will make it to the United States.

It doesn't sound like a $65 million movie (the common price tag for a movie these days) but it sounds very actor oriented and character driven.

[Jenna]

She talked about her movie on Regis and Kelly today. She seems very excited about it and seems to adore John Malkovich.

She also said they have an American producer now (something they didn't have earlier). So that will make it even more likely to be released in the US theaters.

Evi also said she will have a few scenes where she speaks some French.

[buffyfan145]

^ Thanks!!! I saw the interview too, so it's definetly going to be released here in the US probably the same time it hits Canadian theaters!!! :w00t:

[Jenna]

^ Thanks!!! I saw the interview too, so it's definetly going to be released here in the US probably the same time it hits Canadian theaters!!! :w00t:

I'm sure it will be.

[Alevermor]

yeah. I'm glad there's American producers involved. Hopefully that makes it more likely to get released here.

[razgriz]

I don't recall her saying the name of the American Producer, but just one being involved is good news.

[Jenna]

It is, because an article last month said they were looking for an American Producer.

[Elms]

Janine posted some news on Afterwards at E-L.net (http://www.evangeline-lilly.net/):

Today I come bearing some great new information about Evangeline's upcoming movie project Afterwards.

Evi plays the character of Claire who is the ex-wife of Nathan played by Romain Duris. Contrary to what Evangeline herself stated on Live with Regis and Kelly the script is completely in English and according to the production department there isn't a scene in French.

All of Evangeline's scenes will be shot in New Mexico, USA and Montreal, Canada.

I want to express a huge thanks to A-Anne and Christal Films (http://www.christalfilms.com/) for being so kind and passing on those news.

[Jenna]

Thanks for the update :)

[buffyfan145]

Thanks for updating!!! :D

Odd Lost/Heroes cowindence!!! First, Evie's playing a Claire, when Foxy used to play a Charlie, and the Nathan and Claire names are those two on Heroes!!! LOL :giggle: It has nothing to do with it, but I thought it was funny.

[razgriz]

Alright!! Some more good news!

[buffyfan145]

I think she's filming. I remember reading in one of the articles that they were going to start filming in Canada this week.

Governor Bill Richardson Announces Afterwards to be filmed in New Mexico

SANTA FE—Governor Bill Richardson today announced that the feature film, Afterwards, a Fidelite Films and Christal Films production, will be partially shot in New Mexico. Romain Duris, John Malkovich and Evangeline Lilly will star in the film.

Afterwards tells the story of Nathan, a recently divorced lawyer, who is shaken up after meeting a doctor who claims that he has the ability to sense when certain people are going to die. The doctor believes he is sent to help those people put their life in order before it’s too late.

Nathan comes to understand that the doctor believes he is going to die soon, and even though he doesn’t believe him, certain disconcerting events in his life start to make him think that his days are numbered.

The production will be shot in and around Albuquerque, Alamogordo, Jemez and Tularosa from June 15 - 29 and expects to hire approximately 70 local New Mexico crew members.

The film will be produced by Marc Missonnier and Olivier Delbosc. Gilles Bourdos will direct.

"This is another exciting example of the growth of the film industry in our state and the new job opportunities being offered to New Mexicans. We welcome John Malkovich and Evangeline Lilly, along with the rest of the cast and crew to our state" said Governor Bill Richardson.

Since Richardson took office, over 65 feature films and television series have shot in the state, adding over $1.1 billion dollars to New Mexico’s economy.

Do you know when Lost resumes filming?

:sigh: Wish I was at both of those places.

[Boring8Man]

I guess Lost starts filming again in the middle August.
I miss any news from set, I feel like LOST is over for good just because we don't have anything. I hope it'll change soon.

[Jater22]

I guess Lost starts filming again in the middle August.

I forget when the hiatus is over, but wouldn't filming begin about 4 weeks before? I thought they said that in an interview back in S1 or 2? So wouldn't they begin filming around the end of December or beginning of January?

[isehs_111]

i think thats way too LATE...4 weeks before...for season 3..they started on 1st august...and by first week of december...they were doen with 12...and then startng from jan 1st...they continued...and they finished just a week before the finale aired..so it looks like..they will have to keep the same schedule...

[Jenna]

^ S4 filming begins in August!

[carolilly]

I guess Lost starts filming again in the middle August.
I miss any news from set, I feel like LOST is over for good just because we don't have anything. I hope it'll change soon.

aww i feel on same way... and i hope that from August on we get more news... i've felt empty lately... :(
so if it'll resume filming in August by the end of the year they'll have already finished shooting all episodes of season 4?
btw i can't wait to have more news and pics from Afterwards :p

[razgriz]

^ S4 filming begins in August!

Thanks, but will Evie make it back in time?!:please:

That's all I ask is for her to be back in Hawaii with the rest of the cast. Lost would NEVER be the same without her and I already feel distant!:blank: (I've already developed a case of "lonely heart".)

she'll probably even have a little vacation, cause Lost will resume shooting probably on the middle or on the end of this month...

I wish we had more information about this movie.

Is Evie's character supposed to be a blond?

Yeah, the character is because she's been blond throughout the filming.

Anyway don't worry about Kate being at the begginning of the season. She always is.

Also:
Spoilers say that why Kate isn't in jail in the future will be explained in the first two episodes, so it looks like Kate is definatly gonna be there.

[charmedlfreak]

So shes a blond. I wonder how she looks.

Hopefully that news means Kate is one of the first two flashbacks. Please let it be the opener.

[Jenna]

^ I have a feeling it will be 4.2, sadly. But at least its better than nothing.

More casting news for Afterwards. The article is in French, so I ran it through Babelfish for a rough English translation:

John Malkovich will predict the death of Pascale Bussières
MAXIME DEMERS
the Newspaper of Montreal
20-06-2007 | 11h46

Pascale Bussières will give the counterpart to John Malkovich and to Romain Duris in Afterwards, a psychological thriller which will be partly turned to Montreal this summer.

The Québécois actress will play in this film of the French Gilles Bourdos the part of Anna, a Russian immigrant in the United States.

Adapted of a novel of Guillaume Musso (And After..., run out with more than 300 000 specimens in France), Afterwards tells the history of a young new Yorkean lawyer (Romain Duris) disturbed by the meeting of a strange doctor (John Malkovich) who claims to be able to predict the death of the others. The character of Anna, a former friend of childhood of lawyer, will be one of these people whose doctor will predict eminent death.

"The character of Romain had lost sight of the fact Anna and by learning that the doctor had predicted his death, it will find it to try to protect it", explains Pascale Bussières, joined yesterday.

"I have ten days of turning and the majority of my scenes will be with Romain Duris. That is likely to be funny because I know Romain well. It is a friend. Moreover, when I announced to him that I had had the role, it said to me: that will be funny, I will destabilize you. But I believe that with its English (it is the first anglophone role of the French actor), it is more me which will be able to destabilize it...

"I also have during my nine days of turning, a scene or two with John Malkovich. That will be a little intimidating. It is a so intense actor, almost mystical... "

Pascale Bussières took down the role of Anna after having passed two hearings. The Québécois company Christal Films which coproduit the full-length film held so that at least a Québécois actress plays in film.

"One organized for the realizer of hearings with Québécois actresses. One saw some several and he loved Pascale much, underlines Christian Larouche, president de Christal Films.

Russian accent

For her role in film, the Québécois actress will have to tint her English of a light Russian accent.

"With my first hearing, I spoke with normal English, indicates the actress who already played until now in an English film half-dozen.

"Then they recalled me for the one second hearing by me specifying that they would like this time that I have a Russian accent. But they said that to me the day before, at 10 hours of hearing. I thus called in catastrophe a Russian coach, who gave me some councils. I made hearing, that did well.

"Then when the realizer recalled me, he said to me that I had the role but that there was a small problem of accent. The first nobody whom it had consulted had said to him that my accent sounded French, the second said to him that that sounded Italian and the third that that sounded Polish. It then asked to me whether I preferred that my character does not have an accent. I answered that not because for the composition of the character, I prefer that. That allows a greater implication in the character."

The turning of Afterwards, a production of $14 million, began in New York on last 6June and will move in Montreal at at the beginning of July, after a stopover in New Mexico. Five weeks of turning are envisaged in Montreal. The film should take the poster with the autumn 2008.

^^ Thanks for translating and posting the article, I saw it a few days ago on imdb.com but couldn’t figure out what it was saying

So its gonna have I theatrical release in Autumn 2008.....that’s a hell of a wait. Hopefully the trailer should be out a few months b4 then.

Actually come to think of it im glad that its getting released in the Autumn 2008 and not any earlier that year. I read somewhere ages ago that releasing a movie at different times of year can effect its popularity, box office success and chances of the movie or actors getting nominated for awards.

Movies released at the very beginning of the year (January, February, March) don't have good box office success (probably b/c everyone’s broke after xmas) and these months are normally resevered for movies that are not up to a high standard ( you know the ones that go straight to DVD or have limited cinema releases). So production companies release these earlier in the year so that they can concentrate more on promoting the movies that they know are going to be successful.

Releasing a movie later on in the year in particular at the end of Summer, Autumn and Winter is good move because-

1) The movie market is on fire at that time.- People are back from their vacations abroad so they are more likely to go to the cinema. They also have more money to burn at that time of year because its just b4 xmas.

2) The end of year is just before award season (which happens at the beginning of every the year) so having a movie that comes out a few months b4 that means it is more likely to get some recognition compared to a movie that was release 10 months ago, because how many people actually remember a movie that was released in February???

So that is why I am glad Afterwards is getting released when it is ( if the above article is correct) even if its a painfully looong wait for us. Obviously just because its getting released in the autumn doesn’t automatically mean its going to be a successful movie. It just means that more people ( fans, critics and award panel judges etc) may pay attention to it because its being released in a competitive period.

[carolilly]

So shes a blond. I wonder how she looks.

Hopefully that news means Kate is one of the first two flashbacks. Please let it be the opener.

i guess Jenna means that if she isn't on jail, it'll be FF to explain that... i guess she won't get the premiere.. but maybe 4x02. Besides, she'll definitely have a FB through the rest of the season

I read somewhere ages ago that releasing a movie at different times of year can effect its popularity, box office success and chances of the movie or actors getting nominated for awards.

Movies released at the very beginning of the year (January, February, March) don't have good box office success (probably b/c everyone’s broke after xmas) and these months are normally resevered for movies that are not up to a high standard ( you know the ones that go straight to DVD or have limited cinema releases). So production companies release these earlier in the year so that they can concentrate more on promoting the movies that they know are going to be successful.

Releasing a movie later on in the year in particular at the end of Summer, Autumn and Winter is good move because-

1) The movie market is on fire at that time.- People are back from their vacations abroad so they are more likely to go to the cinema. They also have more money to burn at that time of year because its just b4 xmas.

2) The end of year is just before award season (which happens at the beginning of every the year) so having a movie that comes out a few months b4 that means it is more likely to get some recognition compared to a movie that was release 10 months ago, because how many people actually remember a movie that was released in February???

So that is why I am glad Afterwards is getting released when it is ( if the above article is correct) even if its a painfully looong wait for us. Obviously just because its getting released in the autumn doesn’t automatically mean its going to be a successful movie. It just means that more people ( fans, critics and award panel judges etc) may pay attention to it because its being released in a competitive period.

that's cool!
although it's a loooong wait... at least we'll have a bigger chance to see it getting succeed :p
this russian girl seems nice, but what about news about Claire? We barely know about Evi's character... :shifty: ;)

They're filming in Montreal, right? Does anyone know when and where? I'd absolutely love it if I can get a glimpse of Evie.

Film crew wraps up White Sands shoot
Alamogordo Daily News
Daily News Report
Article Launched: 06/29/2007 12:00:00 AM MDT

Filming in Alamogordo took place this week at White Sands National Monument. A French production company, bringing more than 70 crew members, was welcomed by officials from Otero County, the Alamogordo Chamber of Commerce and the organizers of the 2008 White Sands International Film Festival according to a news release announcing the filming.

Shot over four days at White Sands National Monument, this film was supported through the efforts of the chamber of commerce and key members of the White Sands International Film Festival.

The news release noted both organizations are seeking to raise the profile of southern New Mexico as a prime location for the production of feature films.

Ed Carr, executive director of the chamber, offered assistance through the support of film liaison Jan Waffle, with extra support provided during the final days of shooting from David Gibbons, executive festival producer of the reshaped International Film Festival, and festival colleagues, the news release stated.

"The shooting of the movie 'Afterwards' this week at White Sands National Monument demonstrates again the attractiveness of Alamogordo and our area to film makers," Carr said in an official statement. "The cast and crew of around 100 provided a nice shot in the arm to many local businesses.

"With the movie 'Transformers' coming out next week, the movie 'Afterwards' hitting the screens in the near future and the upcoming White Sands International Film Festival, Alamogordo will be getting a lot more attention from the film industry."

Gibbons met Russell Smith, the film's U.S. producer, two days before final wrap. Smith said he appreciated the support provided by all the parties from Alamogordo.

"Film productions of this magnitude can have a positive affect not only upon the city of Alamogordo but also the whole of southern New Mexico," Gibbons said in the news release. "It is to the benefit of all those living in this region that these productions can have a positive affect in terms of economic as well as marketing impact."

Gibbons commended what he called the "very special relationship" built between the Alamogordo Chamber of Commerce and White Sands International Film Festival, based upon the collaboration in supporting the objectives of bringing film production to southern New Mexico.

The international film festival is seeking the cooperation of production companies, such as the one behind this film, to return for screenings during the March 2008 event. It also hopes that key actors, directors and producers will also return to discuss the various processes and methodologies of today's filmmaking business during the festival's seminars for filmmakers. The film is scheduled for release in 2008.

The film is directed by Gilles Bourdos and stars Evangeline Lilly, John Malkovich and Romain Duris.

Blast, Evie's character's name is still a mystery!:shifty:

[buffyfan145]

^ It IS Claire. IMDB hasn't be updated by anyone yet concerning that.

[Jenna]

^ It's funny how her character is the name of a character on Lost too.

[Boring8Man]

I'd be funny if her character name was Sun . claire is a popular and ordinary name.

[razgriz]

^ It IS Claire. IMDB hasn't be updated by anyone yet concerning that.


I'll feel better when her character's name is listed.

I know that IMDB is quite unreliable.

[Elms]

I wonder why they chose to change the name of her character for the film. I liked the name Mallory. It's pretty and a bit more unusual. Though it does remind me of the tv show Family Ties.

Yep, she is more of a supporting character. The two leads of the film are Malkovich and Duris. The main plot of the film circles around them and their interaction.

[Elms]

Well thats a bummer!:sigh:

Playing a supporting character is a good move on her part for her first film. It will allow her to enjoy the experience without being expected to carry the movie (as leads generally do). She doesn't really need that extra worry and stress her first time out of the gate.

At least she has graduated from being an extra in films to having an actual supporting role. ;)

I didn't know that this movie is based on novel. Is it a American? French? or anyother? I want to read the novel first before I watch the movie :D

[amidala]

The movie is inspired from the novel Et après... (Afterwards in english) by the french author Guillaume Musso.
I don't know if the novel has been translated in english, and I haven't read it.
If it hasn't been translated, I can try to find a summary and translate it for you ;)

Wow! Guillaume Musso! I can't believe it :shock:
I had read his book 'Sauve Moi', it means 'Save Me' in English, and I really really liked it!

Actually I can't help but think of Jate :love: when I was reading that book(translated in Korean), so I had recommend the book to the Jaters but back then, the book hadn't been translated in English :shifty: (I don't know whether it is now)

Anyhow I had hoped that maybe one day Matt or Evie could get the roll in the movie that is inspired by the book, and although Afterwards is not the Save Me, but still Evie is in my fav author's movie! :boogie: :hyper:

I looked for 'Et apres' in Korean web site and there is the Korean-translated version and I bought that book right away. It wourld arrive about by tomorrow so after that, I would tell you about the Evie's character. Wow what a big surprise~ (at least for me ;))

It's great to hear that Eng version is published~
You should read "Save Me" too, even better when you think of Matt and Evie :giggle:

My "Afterwards" book and "A Tale of Two Cities"(I ordered this one too) are gonna arrive this evening~ so I'm really excited! :hyper:

[FoxySmile]

Hey guys, I finished reading Afterwards last night. :love:
It was a little hard for me to read that book when I got a lot of things to do.
There had been no post in Evie's thread for a week since I wrote my post.
I'm a little disappointed that every fan of Evie is quiet... where is everyone? :(

Anyway, for the people who want to know about her role in the movie
here are the details (in case I put these in spoiler tag)

Nathan the successful lawyer meet Dr. Goodrich.
The doctor claims that he can sense some people who are going to die
and his job("messenger") is to help them finish their lives in the way they want...

At first Nathan doesn't believe the doctor's words,
but after witnessing some death that the doctor predicted,
he realizes that he had no other choice but to make no regrets in his life before he dies.
(There's a twist in the end and I think I'd better not to talk about it. :shifty:)

I think Evie's role is one of the victims... There is Candice who is a waitress at a bar.
She is described as blonde so I think she is Evie's character.
She raised a boy without the father of the baby after they had an one-night-stand.
Her dad had been in prison for 25(?) years because of the crime that he didn't commit,
and she had thought that her dad had abondoned her.
With the help of Dr. Goodrich(unknown to Candice and her dad),
they finally made up with each other and had lived together for 2 years.

Actually I can't help but thinking of Kate while I read this part of novel. ;)
Just from some daddy issues, the fact that she drive truck,
strong and stubborn character... I think Kate and Candice have a little common things.
(and I was kind of surprised when I found that the name of her baby boy was Josh :D)

Nathan wants to save her from her destined death and visits the bar.
They have some talks but before he could tell her about her death,
she gets a call that her dad was died of heart attack.
Nathan thinks that this incident proves the doctor's words wrong.
With some sympathy for her, he wants to give her some money.
She rejects the offer at first, but later accepts it when he doesn't give up.

When they goes to the bank, bank robbers come into the bank.
After some chaos, Candice gets gunshot with a bullet that a policeman shot. :(
This is the end of her story. At the very last pages of the book,
the fact that Josh will be raised by Candice's aunt.


I don't think Evie's roll is not that big but still, it was a great opportunity for her!
I really hope that I could watch this movie at theater in my country too. :lotsalove

[buffyfan145]

Thanks for posting!!! :D But I think the movie has changed her character some. From what I've read about the movie, Evie's character's name was changed to Claire and she is the ex-wife of Nathan. And she's raising their son by herself. So after the doctor tells Nathan he's going to die, he tries to reconcile with Claire and their son. :D

So either way it sounds really good for Evie!!! :nod:

[razgriz]

Thanks for the descriptions!:hug:

I hope this does well for Evangeline.

[*Pauly*]

Lost names too :)

[carolilly]

awww Katharine Evi's fans are here, WE are hereeee! :w00t: :p
it's just that this lack of news let us kinda of sad...
anyway, thanks for posting what you read about Afterwards, I can't wait to see it, although, as Amanda said, I guess they've changed some stuff from the book storyline and I hope they really did, cause I wouldn't stand seeing her dying :( :( :(

[FoxySmile]

But I think the movie has changed her character some. From what I've read about the movie, Evie's character's name was changed to Claire and she is the ex-wife of Nathan. And she's raising their son by herself. So after the doctor tells Nathan he's going to die, he tries to reconcile with Claire and their son.

Wow that would be better! :hyper: When I started to read that book,
I thought Evie's character would be Nathan's wife. (in book, Mallory)
Since she lives in San Diego and Nathan lives in New York,
and she doesn't appear often until the second half of the book,
so I thought maybe her wife wouldn't be described as an important character.
(but now I realized that's impossible after reading the last part of the book :giggle:)

To write down about Mallory, or Claire ;) she is the love of Nathan's life.
They met each other when they were kids. His mom worked as a maid in her house.
Mallory is from a high-class family, and Nathan was so poor without his dad.
When they went to a picnic or something, Mallory fell into a lake and drowned.
Nathan went after her and saved her, but he didn't get out on his own.
He actually drowned to death but after some time, he came from the death.
This incident made their friendship turn into something deep and like... destiny.
(and this is something to do with the "messenger" ;))

As they grow up, their love for each other gets more sincere and deeper,
even though Mallory's parents didn't accept Nathan as their family member
they got married and had two kids, the girl Bonny and the boy Shaun.
They had had a happy marriage until their son died by accident.
After that, Nathan's obssession to make himself competent enough
to be accepted by parents-in-law is getting more intense,
and Mallory who loves to fight for the weak people in society and
who thinks love, family, peace, such values are more worthy than money or fame
couldn't take it anymore, and they broke up. But Nathan still loves her, so do Mallory.

After Nathan met Goodrich and understood what that meeting means,
he went to San Diego to take his daughter to spend his last days(well...) together.
Nathan and Mallory did had some talks but couldn't made up.
Nathan and Bonny spent some good times, and some things happen....
and because of that Nathan and Mallory meet together, and there's a twist :love:

This story is really exciting and have such a good suspence.
And it made me think about how valuble this moment that I got now... :D
Ah, and this story would be changed for the movie of course


awww Katharine Evi's fans are here, WE are hereeee! :w00t: :p

and just a few minutes ago, I found that my milk passed expiration date :panic:

Thanks for all the info about the book Katharine! :glomp: :D:D

Does anyone know the date that the film will be released in cinemas? :)

[carolilly]

noup, there's no date set yet...
some say that maybe September of 2008.
aww Katharine I love the story I just wish that Evi's character didn't die... I know it's not Evi, but I wouldn't stand to watch that... btw she's already played a corpse in a movie so I guess that's enough for her LOL :giggle:

[LFC_girl]

In the book it says than Nathan has a son but in the movie i think he has a daughter instead. In the offical statement it only mentioned Evi's character (ex-wife of Nathan) having a daughter. Plus i read somewhere (on another forum) that the production company for the movie were doing a casting call for young girls to play the daughter.

Also i think Evi's character is called Claire after all because on IMDB it says that a young actress called Sophi Knight has been cast to play "young Claire"....although i'm not to sure how reliable IMDB actually is.



Another bit of information about the movie from Lars Engstrom (taken from his myspace page)

"This summer I played a street evangelist who falls apart after his friend is accidentally killed in the film "Afterwards", starring John Malkovich and is currently in post-production."

[razgriz]

So, this movie will come out in Canada first, than if successful, it will hit the United States?

[amidala]

Just letting you know that the movie will be out in France (and so downloadable) in september 2008...

Mr. Paul Torrent will work just fine for me hehehe :giggle:

^ Thanks for the update. I hope a US release won't be too far off either.

According to IMDB the movie doesn't have an American distributor yet but it does have distributors for the following countries - Canada, France, Germany , Mexico and South Korea. All of these state that the movie is going to have a theatrical release.

Maybe the producers of the movie are waiting to see the response when it is released in other countries?. If it does well then it will probably get released in the U.S, if it doesn't then they may just release it on DVD or not release it at all.

[carolilly]

I don't like to download movies, but I have a feeling that I'll only see it if I download it...
if it happens a release in dvd I'll be the 1st to buy it, though :p

Alexandre Desplat Signed For "Afterwards"
Mar 18, 2008, 1:29PM

French composer Alexandre Desplat, who was recently voted 'Composer of the Year' for the second year in a row by the International Film Music Critics Association, is doing the music for Afterwards, a drama starring John Malkovich, Evangeline Lilly and Reece Thompson. A co-production between France, Germany, Canada and the US, the film is directed by Gilles Bourdos, a French filmmaker for whom Desplat previously scored A Sight for Sore Eyes in 2003. Afterwards is based on a novel by Guillaume Musso about a lawyer who meets a doctor who claims that he can sense when certain people are about to die. The film is expected to premiere in October.

I saw a piece on Afterwards in one of Antwerp's movie theatre magazines. Here I thought it would be easier to see the movie when I was in the US.. no such luck. Does anyone know where it's showing? When a dvd will come out?

[carolilly]

nothing so far...
I hate to say this but I guess I'll have to download it.
