"Tuesday, April 26, 2005 O Canada am in montreal, or just outside montreal actually. began shooting ""the secret"" yesterday. so far so good. house of d goes out to 300 screens this friday and you are all to thank for that. for those of you not in nyc or la who have not been able to see the movie, i'm sure you can go to the website or reach lionsgate to see what theatre the movie may be playing near you. see the ""expanded markets"" button on the right. again, much of this legwork will be in your court, there won't be a ton of money spent on advertising so if you're not already interested, you may not know it's out there. such a crowded, loud, expensive market place. i have to say that i am really excited about the extremes of responses the movie has provoked in both critics and audiences. love and hate. anything better than lukewarm, ok---i figure i'm on the right track and will keep on going. can't wait to start the next one. maybe in the fall, maybe later. have to act a little more before i get too old and nobody's interested. keep the faith. keep spreading the word. don't give up. we're expanding. get aggressive. invade other people's websites---i don't know what i'm talking about. but reach out of our little circle, we know what we love, and try to interest others who may not know or are not inclined. we may catch fire yet. talk soon. dd Written by David at 4:02 PM - Comments: uchie writes: Mr. DD: Nice to hear from you again. I hope you are having a nice time in Montreal. We are still spreading the word. A lot more people from my office are going to watch House of D thie weekend.

For a while there, I thought I was going to have to pay a visit to my friend at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan... Don't worry, you can bet I'll pack that theater like it's my job. Keep on truckin'. - Posted at 4/26/2005 4:35 PM Jack writes: You've taken a great attitude with regard to people loving it or hating it. If it evokes a strong reaction you've done something right. Speaking of Alice Cooper (I love the guy & never believed he intended the chicken thing), I remember reading once that his manager knew Alice's band was going to be a hit when the audience walked out on one of their concerts. You should be very pleased about the number of people who've loved your movie but as for the haters as you say, better that than luke warm. I live in a decent sized little city so am very much hoping that House of D makes it here soon. The Secret sounds intriguing. - Posted at 4/26/2005 4:44 PM GreenAcidicBlood writes: hi david, it is so great to hear that ""House of D"" is going out to 300 screans, that is awsome! Congratulations!!! Im so happy for you and your movie (which by the way is one of the best movie i've seen recently, not just saying this, i truly mean it!). Oh, and trust me you will never get to old so that ""nobody's interested"" in you anymore, that is sooo not true! You have, and will continue, to go far! Have fun, dont work too hard, and good luck!! Lots of Love! - Posted at 4/26/2005 4:45 PM uchie writes: Mr. DD: We are looking forward to more films directed (& written) by you.

I'm *so* glad for you, and for the film, that they finally have! I'm looking forward to seeing it again this Friday! It was highly enjoyable, and I've told *so* many people about it. I should tell you, too, that I took my elderly mother with me to see it last week, at the Dallas screening, and she GREATLY enjoyed it, raved about it, in fact -- and raved about Robin Williams' work in the film, saying that ""he should get an Oscar!"" (My Mom does *not* like to go to movies, either, so that's quite a compliment.) I sincerely hope you and your family have overcome the flu, and that you have a good filming experience in Montreal!

Perez has 'Secret' for Duchovny David Duchovny will star in ""The Secret,"" a supernatural drama being directed by Vincent Perez, who is making his English-language debut. Luc Besson is executive producing through his Paris-based shingle, EuropaCorp, with producing partner Virginie Silla. Lili Taylor and newcomer Olivia Thirlby also are cast. ""Secret"" is based on the 1999 Japanese film ""Himitsu"" and is set against an emotional triangle among a 16-year-old girl, her mother and her father. After the mother is killed in an accident, her spirit inhabits the daughter's body.

Last time we drove 1 1/2 hours. Would gladly do it again but 10 minutes means I can go whenever I want and as many times as I want. Glad to hear that your new movie is going well . I think that your view about the extremes of responses is a good one to have. Don't worry about this bunch on getting the word out there. If nothing else we are a determined bunch. As for the comment about getting too old, you are exactly four years older than me and if you getting old then so am I. I am not quite ready to go there yet. Thank goodness for hair coloring!

You look dam good and will continue to do so. I hope you saw the pics that i posted from Philly. The lines going up Chestnut street taken from the film festival site. Also that HoD was one of the movies that received high ratings from the audience and was one of the movies listed as being most popular.

But now I can go while I'm here! I am so frikken happy 'bout this. Finally, something to do in Utah. *sigh* So, tenative plans, fly home Friday evening. Saturday morning, drop hubby off at bicycle volunteer gig, run to movie at the Metro (SEA, great location, btw. Glad they picked decent theater.) Pick hubby up and then both go to the movie. I may or may not tell him I've already seen it ... haven't decided. Then fly back to Utah Sunday evening with co-worker, boss and bosses boss. Depending on movie content, talk all of them into going to the movies while were in SLC. No matter what, arrange get together with my trainees and all go to the movies together. Next week is my last week with them and we've been looking for something to do together, this will be a good idea.

I""m sending everyone I know to the Criterion Cinema in New Haven to see House of D. A couple of old cynics will probably dislike it, too. But that's okay, because they'll have already bought their tickets, and I'll get to call them on their rampant cynicism. It's always nice to get an opportunity to do that. It'll start a dialogue. One old cynic and I are already discussing the movie, and he hasn't seen it yet! He's making assumptions based on the trailer, and I'm telling him when he's ""warm."" I anticipate a long discussion at work on Monday. I'm looking forward to it! And at the risk of getting ahead of us, as a lifelong rabid Yankees fan, I am aquiver with excitement over the title of your (hopefully) next film. George Steinbrenner is getting soft in his old age.

I want very much to watch the movie, but seeing as i'm not sure whether it will be screened where i am, i promise i'll check it out when it's on dvd In the meantime i'll just spread the word about House of D over here anyway! Cheers! a fan of robin williams and yourself, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. - Posted at 4/27/2005 12:35 AM Linda61 writes: I just got this e-mail and I wanted to warn everybody. There's a new virus going around. If you get an e-mail saying: ""Welcome to the Matrix.PPS"" DON'T OPEN IT!!!!! When you do you get you'll get a message saying ""you're harddrive is over"". Anti-virus doesn't work. So be careful out there.

The bookings are there and I say, ""Ooh, sweet..."" Then I actually READ the bookings: ""Add House of D, 4/29."" I nearly died...my silly little theatre in Snorasota, Florida is actually getting House of D!!! WOOHOO!!! And this just a few days after we received the trailer... - Posted at 4/27/2005 1:17 AM sandy writes: Hi David, Congratulations on the expanded market place. 300 theatres, great! Anything which elicits extreme responses has certainly made an impact. Good actors are like good wine, but if you're getting old, what does it say about me. I've got eight years on you. Good luck with your current movie. I'm keeping everything crossed for the coming weeks to ensure that HoD makes it to Australia. Hopefully the push from the ground can overcome the lack of promotional finance. Thank God for independent films.

You talking about mistakes the other day made me think of his much used prase. Reminds me of what you were saying. Imrpovisaitiona nd things turning out differently to the way you envisgaed. Its a cool saying I wanted to share with David. "" There are NO mistakes....Just hapy accidents."" Can I say once again. Screw the critics. Their opinion is meaningless to the average movie goer. We want this movie and by damn"
