Musings of an Idiot

The Namesake

I just got up and watched 'The Namesake' and it was a beautiful movie - there are so many small things that it captures with such pinpoint accuracy that it is frightening. Another movie that I saw recently was 'The Illusionist' and it was a pleasent surprise and felt so much more natural and engrossing than 'The Prestige'.

I heard back both from Jason Grunebaum (the english translator) and Uday uncle (the original author) regarding adapting PCWL into a feature and needless to say I am excited as it is a love story and alienation is one of the over-riding and central themes of the story. It will be an interesting one to bring to life since it is so relevant in a global landscape where the boundaries are now drawn in the form of culture.

We will be finishing off sound design on FIVE by 1st September but in the meantime I have started making notes for the third draft of Ghost Scream, which my friend John Dalton is writing. So busy and exciting times as always.

Till later,
Amit
