i dont know i guess i'm really bored. but i found a whole bunch of links to info on the yards. they all dont have that much, only a summary of the movie mostly. im really interested in this movie, but i cant find that much on it! which really annoys me. and its coming out september 8th right? shouldnt we be seeing trailers for it yet? i've only seen about 1 min worth of the movie in a little snippet on ET one night. it left me itching for more! the cast is great! i love joaquin phoenix and charlize theron, and of course mark

they're all great actors. (joaquin aint to bad on the eyes either)

also, i have a question. if it comes out in limited release September 8th ... then when will it come out city wide? isnt it something like 3 weeks later? making it the 29th?

lol i found this at a joaquin phoenix website. i thought it was really funny!

SKIP: I like the fight between you and Mark Wahlberg. You take it very wildly.

JOAQUIN PHOENIX: I'm happy that you see it so too. We didn't want a nice Hollywood-boxingmatch, but a mercyless streetbattle. We sent the stunt- choreographer home immediately, he should stay out of the business and let us make. The fight should be brutal, realistic and passionate, that was important for the emotional level of the movie. We didn't give each other anything. James thought, that it was very brave of us, but in reality I was the only one who prooved to be brave- I mean have you seen the muscles of Mark Wahlberg once? The guy fights like a wrestler.

SKIP: When the whole thing couldn't be destinguished from a real fight, there must have been a real winner too.

JOAQUIN PHOENIX: Mark won, but only because he cheated me. We spoke about some of the hits before, but he didn't go after the concept. He knew exactly what came towards him and so he ducked every time when I should hit him. But it doesn't matter, it even then was tough enough in this way. On the next day we were black and blue on the whole body and could hardly move. James had to shoot all scenes later again, because on this day we couldn't do any other than wag through the picture half- paralyzed.

I read last night in a fairly recent interview, where Mark W. said that THE YARDS is due to release around Christmas time.

oh noooo! i dont want to have to wait THAT long! man that just depressed me! hmph
annie do u have a link to the interview u read? just curious.
but i guess its kinda better since it will be closer to oscar time and hopefully the movie will be fresh in critics minds and get some nominations!

The Upcoming Movies website still has the opening date of September 8 in New York and LA. It's possible that Mark was mistaken in his interview, you know. (Yes, Annie -- even Mark CAN be wrong!

) I for one sure hope that we don't have to wait until Xmas.

annie- i read an interview at www.bigstar.com where Mark said it was coming out around christmas time. but the interview was done around september last year, when he was promoting three kings. so maybe the interview u read was from that time too.
anyway, i still really hope its coming out in september. it says on this site it is. and most of the joaquin phoenix sites i've been to say september too. i cant wait!

TigerLily, if he said it in September '99 then he meant that it would be out around Xmas '99. That's when it was originally scheduled for release, but then the director apparently wanted to do more editing. The release date was moved to April 2000, then to June, and finally to September. I think the September 8 date is definite.

I hope so because I really want to see this film allready. And I think a Mark film every 2-3 months is just fine.lol

Sorry to post bad news, but The Yards is being pushed back AGAIN to October! I hope it opens large or I'm so screwed. My school is in the middle of nowhere! I read this in upcomingmovies.com, which is pretty accurate.

Well pooh. I was having a good day.

The Magazines are starting up their fall preview issues, and EW (Aug 18/25 issue) has a nice picture from the Yards on pg 60 (it's also at their website). EW's take on the movie: Good-the cast esp. MW & JP, not so good-the bad reception at Cannes

Both EW & Premiere (no pic and very small paragraph) have it set for Oct. 20, so it's official for now. Hopefully they won't change the date again.
