In Search Of Paradise Deal
 

According to this site "In Search Of Paradise" is going international! :mrgreen::

24 September 2007
Atlas Media Corporation Deal For Meat Loaf DocumentaryAtlas Media Corporation has reached an exclusive international distribution deal for its feature documentary 'Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise' with UK-headquartered 3DD Entertainment.

Under the agreement, 3DD will begin selling the full-length documentary film and a one-hour TV version at MIPCOM next month.

The film, which was produced by Atlas Media in association with Rainbow Media’s VOOM HD Networks and directed by Bruce David Klein (Atlas Media’s president and executive producer), follows the multi-platinum rock icon Meat Loaf as he sets out on his most ambitious worldwide tour to date. Featuring extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, the documentary captures dynamic, intimate and sometimes intense moments as we follow the singer on and off stage through the tour rehearsals, first shows, and ultimately, through the first leg of his worldwide tour. The film was an official selection of the Montreal World Film Festival and is set for a US Theatrical Release in January 2008.

Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise is Atlas Media’s first theatrical documentary feature, and its distribution deal marks the first between 3DD and Atlas. Kirby said: “We are proud to kick off our theatrical division with this entertaining portrait of an international icon like Meat Loaf, who has never before allowed cameras to document his creative process.

“It is most fitting that 3DD Entertainment, a company with a widely successful international track record with both music and film properties is nurturing this project abroad.”

wow - thats great! Good promotion for Meat too! :-)

This is the film that comes with the 3 Bats DVD isn't it?

WOW Can't wait to see this :D

correct

might just be an edit on the dvd though... if its being flogged elsewhere

That's what confused me, why get a company to sell it if it's on the limited edition dvd.

I was reading it this way that they sell it to cinema's and tv (hence the 1 hour tv version).
but reading it again i cant find anything that woud imply this.

:?

watched the 60 mins of search of paradise last nigh (the 60 mins version), it's really really good. get yourself registered and watch the program over at

With it being a High Def production, there has been a few small independant media companies, who have jumped onto the High Def Media band wagon recently in Europe, so it may be a release on High Definition Media, just a thought. :D

IN SEARCH OF PARADISE...
 

... Anyone else seen it yet? I caught about the first 10 mins this morning but too busy at work!

Thoughts?

Don't we have to wait for the DVD to be released in a few weeks time first? :P

I'm trying to resist and wait for the DVD.....which is hard as I'm impatient

I'm still confused! Is it on the net?

I dunno, I got sent a link from one of the universal guys to a place that is showing a 60 minute edit for it.

You've to sign up but I think they only accept people in the music industry?

Where is it you know of RJ?

It isn't just for the record company, Markham posted a link to it a good few days ago. it's in another thread somewhere.

RJ, I gave into temptation :twisted:

I'm days behind with everything!!!

I gave into temptation too Deb :wink:
I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see the entire version :))
Vicki

if anybody could pm me to the dited version that would be handy!!
cheers!

nick

I'm not giving in, I shall wait!

I'd rather wait too to view this in great quality sound and vision. :mrgreen:

Diane

I told you I'd rather wait! :lol:

I'll wait til Tuesday ta

I loved the bit with the ........ na better not lol.

Doesn't matter if I see it ten times, come tuesday I still wont remember a thing :lol:

Deb

only ctahc it you have to wait til the team aprove of you :-) - how long can that take?

good attitude ladies :cool:
If it was a 10 min clip I'd might have watched it, but this takes away 2/3 of the whole thing.

you have to wait til they approve of you before you can watch.... does it take a while? might have to be tomorrow now :-)

about half to an hour (so Im told)

is that like; during working hours?:D - so basically it could be tomorrow...

I went onto the site, and couldn't find how to find Meat on there at all. How do you find it? What is it under?

clcik on the link:
http://www.3ddgroup.com/entertainment/

and type Meat Loaf in the search and you should find it.

well i gave in, actually its really good quality!! very good documentry cant wait until it comes out, doubt i will get it on the day it comes out as i am moving house, but evan that may not stop me taking a quick trip to town to pick up my copy!

Thank you very much, Ross and RJ; have registered; now must wait.

can someone hlep me... I try to view it and it comes up with: cannot read it, mms file or something....

might the server be down?

man, I loved it! I can't wai ttio see it again and the bits they missed out.... Yes I finally got it to work, don;t know what happened!

Its so great and to see how a BIG tour is put together in a short amount of time (rehearsals wise) and see how Meat works when he is offstage...

He sure does a heck of alot :-)
Lookingforward to the release :-)

Ditto:lol:

I'm not sure who's worse me or you lol.

I didn't realise that wasn't all of it :? Wonder what the rest is about

can you guys make it any harder to resist watching it?? lol

:-P You know you want to :lol:

I honestly haven't caved in yet! Very impressed with myself!

Or Batcaved in even lol

mind you....i said i would wait for the proper album, when the bat3 radio thing surfaced.........


















....and I was so impatient that I got up again in the middle of the night and listened to it as one of the first! lol

LOL Very good, I had to re-read that! Blonde wig shall be left at home in time for next week :up:

It was a good watch! I totally read everything wrong though. I thought it followed the process of the Bat album being made. I'm sure I read somewhere that they were filming and then the Steinman thing happened! I was waiting for all that stuff.

I have to confess I gave into temptation yesterday and watched it on 3DD. It was a fantastic watch, Cant wait to watch the full 90 minute programme.

you never know..... there's another 30 mins on top of that, that we have to wait to see when the dvd is released... that might be it, but I'm not sure though. mmmmmm:roll:

Anyone know when the dvd is due out in the US? Amazon.com lists October 16 but it is not available for pre-order. I don't even see it listed on other sites.

I think they're importing from the UK. I don't think Virgin/EMI (Meat's US Label) have the rights to the DVD. Anyone else know?

Here's the listing from Amazon.com in the USA :

http://http://www.amazon.com/Meat-Lo...1608129&sr=1-3

It doesn't indicate if it's an import or which record company is distributing it.

Vicki

I'd say its unlikely to be a european import, as it says NTSC as format.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Vicki

That would have made for a better documentary IMO

Pud :twisted:

it only took them about 30 mins to activate my account

Totally agree, thats what I was looking for! I thought it was good, but a bit gutted it didn't involve that. I did feel Meat was playing to the cam a bit!

I don't know there. Maybe sometimes but I thought in general, its wasn't acted, but the truth... Come on, how many artists do you see lying on the floor after each show? not many... :-)

Maybe the other 30mins is devoted to the recording in the studio....

he's an actor, im sure he dramatized the whole thing a bit.

Still resisting to watch it...

Nah, doubt it, its about meats search for the none pervy version of Paradise!!

The falling on the floor looked staged to me, maybe in the 70's!

I loved the part where they dubbed the album vocals over meat performing live!

Sorry RJ :P

Yeah, the collapse on the floor seemed a bit dramatic, and Meats said he's an actor first.

The only way Paradise would be looking non-pervy is if they scrapped it altogether. Seems to me Meat is on a good number snogging and touching up Aspen :shock:

Pud :twisted:

I thought the collapse to the floor was genuine,imo.
I am sure Meat does look forward to doing Paradise with Aspen for various reasons;)

There's absolutely no doubt that after a gig Meat is completely bushwacked, but he seemed to be playing up for the camera's a bit.

Pud :twisted:

What is the meaning of "buckwashed"?

Haven't seen the video yet (will waiting for the dvd), but by reading the review of a security member of the Munich 2007 concert [They (the ambulance men?) needed to breathing Meat 5min that he could at least stand on his feets) it seems not for me that he is acting the thing.

done it and watched it :-)..

gave in and watched it

my thoughts: Now I finally know how to handle my hair!

I like that word bushwacked! I would take it meaning knackered?
I do know that Meat did have oxygen at, at least one of the shows on the last lot of the UK dates.

it was very interesting to take a look backstage, though the production was a bit too melodramatic for my taste, with the music and all that

I was expecting something more existantial. There are rare moments of intensity, maybe what you call melodramatic, but for me, those are the best 'cause it's when he drops the mask...

I only watched the 60 minutes available, so, I can be surprised with the full version.


Pa†ricia

i think the most emotional moment was

This one is magical, yes! ;)

Correct ;)

Pud :twisted:

yep australian copyright i'll try and find the details i found

it's a universal distribution!!! or if you are old as I am used to be called CIC video

Guess they didn't like me; no confirmation yet. I did see it once elsewhere before it was gone. But I like to be legit if I can. Maybe they aren't accepting any more. Or they just didn't like me. :(

In Search Of Paradise threads merged.

Dont loose hope yet they took 2 days before i heard anything!! Now my face aches from sitting smiling for 50 mins!!!

Back to something mentioned earlier in the thread...I took Meat laying on the floor as completely genuine. I've had lower back problems since my twenties, a few years ago ;), Jules comment was that's exactly what I do when my back is really bothering me. I didn't see any "collapse", just him laying down that way to try and get his back to feel better.
Thought the thing was pretty good, I'm looking forward to seeing it all, think we get it here around Nov. 20 in the US. You lucky ~~~~~~~s across the sea! :D
T

I didn't know Meat had lower back problems, I'm not surprised he has, but I didn't know he had.

Pud :twisted:

watched it.. didn't particularly enjoy it, in my opinion the only positive bit is it shows meat to be a perfectionist... however at the expense of his own health/happiness
