Hotel is being worked on right now! It will include a short film from Hong. We should have a date soon. Grass will follow.

Funny you should mention Beeswax...

Yes, we put a temp date of Sept 27, but I'm afraid it may slip until October.

We made the choice to delay because we were made aware of a six and a half hour documentary produced by the crew on the making of the film. We had to include that in the package!

So we are working on finishing it now and it has become a double BD-50 package, and we are keeping the price the same.

We do hope people wont mind the delay but will be glad it is the most complete package we could offer around the film.

I did read about the documentary at CG site I was questioning if the length of 390 minutes was a typo … now I know it isn't!

I've been waiting for about a year for the BD so another month or two will not make a difference to me. Both Winter Sleep & Once Upon a Time In Anatolia is a good snuggle-up-in-cold-weather-entertainment so The Wild Pear Tree will arrive in perfect season.

Thank you for the quick update!

Price was pretty high in Canada so after much waiting, received The Wild Pear Tree yesterday.

Not sure whether I was more excited to watch the +3hr movie or the +7hr making of.

As is with Ceylan movies, there're a lot of dialogues and ideas to sift through, ponder over, and digest.

Diving into the making of documentary tonight.

Thank you, Cinema Guild!

I'm interested in learning more about Moonraker. Can you provide some insight into the production process for this film? What were some of the challenges you faced while making it? Do you have any interesting behind the scenes stories you can share?
