| Welcome to the largest site on the internet dedicated to Dario Argento - one of the most stylish and visually imaginative director's alive today. This is not intended to be a sycophantic 'shrine' to him but a place for information and enlightenment and hopefully you will leave knowing more than when you came. There are all sorts of cool things within these pages - reviews, filmographies, biographies, interviews, slideshows, video/audio downloads and a forum. For an attempt at explaining why I like his films, click here |

no suspiria remake!
|
Alan Jones writes:
"Nick, This has been on bloody-disgusting.com for a few days now. I think it's very revealing and why Hollywood just don't get it. I mean, why do we need a reason for the witches to be in the Tanz Akademie? Who cares! Only the accountants running/ruining the industry at the moment who have to have everything explained or else the 15 year old girls in Ohio won't understand. Frankly I'm relieved that we won't have to put up with yet another remake disaster"
'While at dinner with Steven Katz, co-writer of Revolution's upcoming Wind Chill, it was revealed to B-D that the remake of Suspiria "probably will not happen at this point." No reason was given other than how long its been on the back burners. Writer of the remake's screenplay, Katz informed us that the biggest challenge in writing the script was finding a reason for the witches to be using a dance academy for their evil-doings. In his version the witches use the school as a recruiting ground for new witches. In Dario Argento's classic original from '77, a young American dancer travels to Europe to join a famous ballet school. As she arrives, the camera turns to another young woman, who appears to be fleeing from the school. She returns to her apartment where she is gruesomely murdered by a hideous creature. Meanwhile, the young American is trying to settle in at the ballet school, but hears strange noises and is troubled by bizarre occurrences. She eventually discovers that the school is merely a front for a much more sinister organisation.'

third mother postponed
|
From an italian fan:
"Yesterday Dario Argento came to visit the Profondo Rosso store meeting his fans and signing autographs. Then Argento himself has also guided a TV crew from British BBC Television to film his Dario Argento's Museum of Horrors in the dungeons of the store.
While being here and talking with his fans, Dario Argento has said that the start of his new horror movie The Third Mother has been delayed to next September.
In the meanwhile Dario Argento plans most probably to leave on April the 5th to Los Angeles and then to Vancouver to shoot a second episode in the American Home Box Office series titled Masters of Horror." |
