Fair enough.

Anyone know when this will hit HBO or prem cable?

Sadly I don't see much of a chance, but Brett Ratner has expressed his desire to film a sequel to After The Sunset.

It can be called Predators Come Out To Feast.

I'm one of the few in the minority I bet that wouldn't mind seeing such a film.

I got this one on DVD yesterday. I also got a used copy of Laws of Attraction. Great movies. Fun. Both of them deserved better.

Oh, I could go for a sequel, too, Qwerty.

Pity the first didn't make much of a box-office splash.

Serious question - why didn't they work?

No angle to this question - just interested to see.

[Feral]

any good extras or deleted scenes? i will probably buy it sometime this week.

[Chi-Town's Finest]

I just bought After the Sunset yesterday. I thought it was pretty good. Great cast, with a pretty decent plot. It was nice seeing Pierce in a comical role as well. I also felt that this movie is underrated.

[mccartney007]

I wasn't overly impressed with this film, but that's not to say I didn't like it. I'll watch it again.

Serious question - why didn't they work?

I imagine they didn't work (if indeed they didn't) largely because of shoddy, half-baked scripting and direction.

Of course, I expect you'd have preferred an answer from someone who'd actually seen LAWS OF ATTRACTION and AFTER THE SUNSET, but answers to your question seemed thin on the ground, so....

Watched it on DVD* earlier today. I thought it was a fun movie. Even Woody was tolerable. I'd see a sequel should one eventuate.

Did anyone notice Connery in the Junkanoo sequence!?



*Haven't had the check out the secial features yet.

I liked After The Sunset. It was a good, fun film to watch and waste an hour and a half or so. I thought Woody Harrelson's character stole the show. He was hilarious.

I'd love a sequel to After The Sunset.

Just caught "After The Sunset" on dvd. I found it an enjoyable waste of time. Lots of pretty tropical scenery. A somewhat thin, but nevertheless diverting heist plot. Pierce was fine. Woody's mugging was sometimes amusing, sometimes a bit much. And Salma spent the better part of the film in bikinis, halter tops, and lingerie.

I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to After The Sunset either. It was a great way to spend an hour and a half, and it was just a fun movie to watch.

[Qwerty]

Seems some fans wouldn't mind seeing a sequel. They should eventually do one.

[Righty007]

I watched my copy of After the Sunset last night.

[Genrewriter]

Just finished watching the film this evening. I liked it well enough but it fell short of what it could have been. Pierce is fine and Salma....well, she could just have a role that consists of sitting in a corner doing nothing and I'd enjoy it so one can guess what I thought of her work. The script meanders and it just seemed like they didn't know what to do with the basic story idea. As for Woody, he's watchable but he tends to go way over the top too often.

I thought this was interesting: The "French Poster"

[Tarl_Cabot]

I thought it was weak, totally unneccesary and added absolutely nothing to the heist genre. It's like a baywatchesque postcard for people living in Minnosota in December; a pleasant distraction but not much else. I hope Thomas Crown 2 has alot more imagination.

I thought this was interesting: The "French Poster"

I like how it appears more white in color than the other ones. Good posters all around for this movie.

Bought and watched the DVD last night.

Plenty of fun; I think it'll hold up better on repeat viewings. One thing I really noticed on this, my second viewing, is the film's cinematography. It's simply superb. The film looks amazing on DVD.

The DVD seems to be doing pretty well over here. It's still #1 on the charts, having been released close to three weeks ago and with films like The Incredibles, Meet the Fockers and The Phantom of the Opera also new to DVD.

It has quite a haul of special features, too, for a single-disc release. There's a documentary that clocks in at well over an hour, entitled Before, During and After The Sunset, which covers the film's production. No real interviews, though. There's an almost-20-minute clip from The Charlie Rose Show that fills in that gap, though. There's a mass of deleted and alternate scenes. One curious extra has director Brett Ratner interviewing a real jewel thief. A decent change of pace from the usual DVD bonuses. Speaking of which, the set is rounded out with an audio commentary, a blooper reel, some always-interesting visual effects shot comparisons, the film's theatrical trailer, a couple of TV spots and at least two easter eggs, I found.

Well recommended for fans of the film. Particularly at around $26, which is what I paid.

[Melanie]

Easter eggs I found:

Go to the 'Special Features' Highlight the menu entry of 'Interview With A Jewel Thief' and then press the 'Left' arrow key on your remote control. This will highlight a gem at the top of the screen. Press 'enter' now and you will be treated to a very funny practical joke director Brett Ratner played on Pierce Brosnan during the shoot of the movie.

Another Easter Egg can be found on the first page of the 'Special Features' section. Go there and highlight the menu entry of the 'Before, During and After the Sunset' documentary. Now press the 'right' arrow key on your remote control to highlight a gem in the bottom left corner of the screen. Press 'Enter' now and you will see a clip of PB and Salma Hayek during the scene when they talk into the bug they discovered in their house, pretending to make love.

The Making Of is superb. The outtake where PB takes a hit, before Don Cheadle has even moved his gun to knock him out. And Salma not being able to handle the fork in Take ?, saying "Sorry Pierce for piercing your tongue."

[Qwerty]

Sweet, thanks for all of that Melanie!

[Melanie]

You are very welcome!

DAD sunglasses in the deleted tennis scene ?

Here is some trivia:

When PB (I mean Max) is going up the cruise ship gangway, his son and Irish assistant are too.

Like it now more or less?

Couple more pretty cool posters...

I think this one's the Chinese poster...


No idea where this is from, but it's very cool.


Also find it interesting the Australian promotional material uses the original poster artwork, but Brozzie isn't wearing his sunglasses.

Australian DVD cover compared to the US one-sheet...


The Australian one-sheet, which I have hanging on my wall, is the same as our DVD cover, with Brozzie sans glasses. Just a minor alteration I thought was interesting.
