Finally the movie has edited and narrowed down. The following comes from the southland tales fan page:Richard Kelly and co. have finally locked picture on “Southland Tales” Movie.

A trailer and a release date are forthcoming.

Richard Kelly says :

“Sorry for the radio silence. I have been incredibly busy finishing Southland Tales and prepping The Box simultaneously. We are hoping to begin production in early March, 2007 in Virginia.

After almost a year of editing, we have finally locked picture on Southland Tales!

2 hrs 17 min. The final cut is 27 minutes shorter than the “work-in-progress” version that premiered at Cannes. I am very happy with this edit, as we have done a significant amount of work to solve the rubiks cube narrative. Justin Timberlake just recorded the final voice-over this past sunday. We still have some visual effects work to do… but expect a release date and a trailer soon!

I hope everyone is enjoying Southland Tales - Book II: Fingerprints. Book III is going to the printer in about a week, and I believe that it is the best of the three (cerainly the longest). I can’t believe it is almost over… and that we have made it to the end with our sanity intact. Well… perhaps not completely intact:)

I leave for Cape Canaveral tomorrow to attend my first space shuttle launch.

Expect some big announcements soon!”
