DVD RENTAL SPOT UP FROM #84!

Yeah, 'The Avengers' may have a lot of superheros and made a billion dollars but it just got knocked out of the #1 DVD rental spot by a girl named Snow White. 

SWATH comes back from being down 84th to claim #1 DVD rental spot in the US for the week ending October 14th, according to IMDb.  

This is a what you call a smackdown.  Who could have imagined? *giggles* 

The SWATH DVD has been out in release for 33 days while 'The Avengers' is hot off its release for 19 days.  While SWATH fans continue to hold their breath on a sequel, they can still hold pride that their movie is still wanted and wanted in a big way too!

SWATH DWARF JOHNNY HARRIS TALKS SWATH, SINGING, HOSKINS, BECOMING POPULAR WITH TEEN COUSINS DUE TO STEWART & MORE

In a recent interview in conjunction with the SWATH Blu-ray DVD release in the UK, SWATH dwarf Johnny 'Quert' Harris spoke with Indie London about SWATH and other topics.

Harris talks about the potential for a sequel, tells a charming story about his increased popularity with his teenage cousins because of him being in the film with Kristen Stewart, singing on the soundtrack as well as his next projects.   

This is a really good and insightful interview from his perspective.  Read some excerpts from his interview below.

Harris talks about being Quert and his popularity with family members because of Stewart.

"He’s a bad dude, yeah [laughs]. I guess that’s why playing Quert in Snow White was such a refreshing change for me. When [director] Rupert [Sanders] said I would be playing the softie of the bunch I kind of laughed. He did also say they were a tough little bunch. But I also got to sing as well. If you’d told me I’d be singing in a Universal pictures movies a couple of years ago I’d have laughed because I’m not a singer. But by sheer luck, none of the other guys were singers either! We all gave it a go and Rupert went through the list before eventually, against will, pushing me forward. He said they would be able to dub it if it was really bad. But it’s me and now I’m officially on an album." 

"It comes in handy with regards to scoring points with my little cousins. Prior to being in Snow White I never got so much as a second glance from them but as soon as I was in a film with Kristen Stewart, all of a sudden I was getting calls. I got married last week and all my cousins are around the 12-13 mark and you could see how I’ve changed in their eyes. Now, all of a sudden they’re asking me about my work and asking if I can get Kristen’s autograph!" 


Harris does not know the status of the next film but will be ready to go if called.

"...you hear all sorts of rumours and there’s a good chance. But I don’t know is the honest answer. It’s really healthy for an actor just to keep things in the moment. And I’m really lucky to be busy. I’m writing at the moment too. So, if it [the sequel] was to happen I’ll hear about it when I’m meant to. The good thing is that you get plenty of notice with films like that, so there’s no need to worry. I think only the producers know at this stage what’s happening."


Harris talks more about his experience with SWATH and working with the legendary Bob Hoskins (Muir) who has recently retired due to the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease as well as with Kristen Stewart (Snow White).  

About SWATH:

"It’s been lovely to do because the response to it has been beautiful. A big movie like this can sometimes forgo storytelling in favour of effects. But people seem to have really gone for it. All the actors on it have come through realism in their performances… people like Ray Winstone and Bob Hoskins. We all wanted to make it as honest and real and engaging as we could, so it’s been gratifying to see that people have responded to that in what they’ve been saying about the film."

Working with Stewart:

"Yeah, the scene in particular was the funeral scene when I had to sing. And it only got confirmed on the morning that I’d be singing on my own because of the technicality of getting us all to do it. In moments like that, when the camera is focused on you, you tend to find other actors disappear but they remained standing in. It kind of tells you a lot about the feeling in general on the set. So, when I looked around Kristen was there, and Chris [Hemsworth], and Ray and Bob were stood either side of me. I’ll never forget that moment. It was an emotional moment in the film, we were all crying a bit, and when I looked up Kristen was also crying and the camera was not even on her. So, I was tremendously grateful to her for that."

Harris gives a poignant take on Hoskins last day on set:


"Not many people know this and I think I’m right in saying this – I’m not sure if Bob had to do re-shoots – but the last scene we shot together was the coronation scene in the grand hall. You’re talking about a scene with 500 to 600, so a huge crowd in this massive hall, which had this lovely echoey effect, and Bob’s final scene involved him taking a bow in front of this huge cheering crowd. It was really poignant because you don’t usually get that in film. As a stage actor, you get applause, but as a film actor they call ‘cut’ and you trudge off home to look at the next day’s scene. We get our premieres, I suppose, so it’s swings and roundabouts. But it was so nice and fitting that his final scene on film is Bob taking a bow."

SWATH CONTINUES TO TOP DVD SALES ~ 
BLU-RAY STILL GOING STRONG

Although the SWATH Blu-ray has dropped to #3 in sales last week, the SWATH DVD is still going strong at #1, according to Home Media Magazine.  

SWATH could not hold off the Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures collection but there is no shame in losing out to Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.  No shame at all. 

The SWATH DVD topped Chris Hemsworth's Cabin in the Woods which debut at #2 and holds the same place for the Blu-ray edition. 

The Hunger Games Blue-ray dropped to #6th place while Indiana Jones came in at #5.

While SWATH is still doing really well with DVD sales, it is still going strong on iTunes dropping one slot to #2 as The Avengers release takes the #1 spot.  But when a movie makes over a billion dollars, there is no shame being bumped by it as well.

SNOW WHITE & HER HUNTSMAN TOPS NEW BLU-RAY RELEASES AS SWATHERS SNATCH UP DVDS!

SWATHERS should be proud because Snow White and the Huntsman was the #1 DVD among the new releases last week, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  SWATH reached #1 without any big promotion from its stars. No late night or morning show television appearances and the DVD still sold.  SWATH fans continue to show their support for a film that is based on a children's fairy tale. 

SWATH "generated 55% of  its first-week sales from the Blu-ray Disc format" and "sold more units than the four other top 5 First Alert titles combined."

The SWATH Blu-ray DVD is truly a visually stunning treat with the 1080 transfer onto the DVD, fans can see all of the artistic intricacies of the sets and costumes which get somewhat lost on film.  The colors are even more beautiful.  

Kristen Stewart's green eye color looks amazing and they're hers; even Chris Hemsworth's blue eyes are hypnotizing in the sharper 1080; the details on the dwarf costumes and the jewelry they wear makes them look even more regal at the end of the film; the details on the set (faces on banister posts)...well all of it is worth the price.  

The Blu-ray is filled with all kinds of treats for the fans which include deleted scenes that are seen in the extended version, a digital download,  interactive viewing, along with behind-the-scenes features that include 360 degree viewing of different sets on the menu.

Read more about the DVD here.

As previously stated, the Blu-ray is definitely a treat for the fans!  If you haven't had a chance to get your copy or know someone who hasn't, just click on the Amazon link on our page.  Here are a few links for fans overseas.  Get yours today!!! 

CONGRATS TO SWATH FANS FOR MAKING THE BLU-RAY #1 IN IT'S DEBUT!!

VISUAL EFFECTS SUPERVISOR NICOLAS-TROYAN TALKS DWARF, TROLL & OTHER SPECIAL EFFECTS

Universal

"[Dwarf effect] was mainly achieved with good old school tricks, of raising the other actors in the shot or having the 'dwarf' actors lower than anybody else," says Cedric Nicolas-Troyan director of Visual Effects on SWATH.

Coinciding with the release of the SWATH Blu-ray DVD this week, Moviemaker.com gives insight into some of the visual effects secrets of the film. 

One effect secret was how the actors who portrayed the dwarves were made into little people on screen.  A trick Nicolas-Troyan talks about was digging trenches allowing the actors to stand in them making them shorter as well as using body doubles with CGI.

Nicolas-Troyan states, "...we created a dwarf double of the principal actor with matching wardrobe and extremely precise matching make-up, exceptionally crafted by David White and his team. On some of those shots we did some digital face replacements. We also digitally dwarfed the principal actors, shortening their limbs to make them look smaller. A lot of it was simple 2D compositing. We peppered those shots at key moments to always remind the audience who those dwarves were."

Nicolas-Troyan says there were a lot of challenges on set and with the effects.  However, the "troll sequence" was challenging but went smoothly.

"...very challenging sequence on paper and almost the easiest to shoot. The reason: We prepared it, rehearsed it and shot it without changing anything. The result: One of the most memorable sequence in the film. We got lucky."

BLU-RAY.COM GIVES HIGH PRAISES OF THE SWATH DVD 1080P TRANSFER ~ TAKE A LOOK AT THE SWATH DVD MENU & MORE

Blu-Ray.com provides a few screenshots of the SWATH DVD that is set to be released on September 11th. 

Blu-Ray.com raves about its 1080p transfer onto DVD.  Here is what they wrote:

"Snow White and the Huntsman Blu-ray delivers truly amazing video and audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release

The fairest of them all? Snow White and the Huntsman's 1080p/AVC-encoded video transfer, which stands as a stunning testament to the most enchanting aspects of the film: director Rupert Sanders' dark fairy tale aesthetic, Greig Fraser's seductive cinematography and Cedric Nicolas-Troyan's visual effects. 

Colors are gorgeous, dripping with bewitching reds, ornate golds and bronzes, chilling grays and charcoals, and fittingly ominous blacks.The dazzling, sun-kissed hues of Tabor's days of plenty; the stony, black-glass gaze of the Queen's kingdom; the grimy, grungy muck of an impoverished, diseased village; the mossy greens and rich earthtones of the magical realms beyond the the Dark Forest... whether a slave to the darkness or an agent of the light, Sanders' fantasy remains a beautiful sight to behold. Detail is jaw dropping as well, and rarely falters. Edges are sharp, perfectly defined and, perhaps most importantly, free of troublesome ringing. 

Fine textures are revelatory, showcasing every inch and seam of Colleen Atwood's costumes, every smudge of dirt and errant hair on Snow White's head, and every one of the Huntsman's scrapes, scars and bits of stubble. Delineation is excellent too, pushing back the shadows without reducing their role in Fraser's photography. 

Better still, significant artifacting, banding, crush, aliasing or, really, anything that might give a good videophile pause is nowhere to be found. Snow White's transfer lovely and pure, and I have nothing but praise for its near-flawless presentation."
