The first trailer from Kathryn Bigalow's K19 - The Widowmaker is now online, brought to us by the Apple website. Pretty cool it is too. Download it now.

Also, Aint It Cool picked up a story from a scooper that attended the Showest convention in Las Vegas,

"They had the trailer playing continuously, and even treated Sho West attendees to a submarine simulator ride. They clearly had the most creative and memorable presentation in the dealer room. As for K19 itself? Based on the trailer, I don't really have an opinion yet. I want it to kick ass! Kathryn Bigelow is capable of really amazing stuff, and God knows that Harrison Ford really needs this, but the trailer lacks punch in my opinion. Still, I'm guessing the movie will be huge".

Couldn't agree more.

HarrisonFordWeb have been talking release dates for K19 The Widowmaker. The IMDB apparently lists the film to be released in Argentina on 13th December of this year. Most of Ford's movies have been released about a month before in the US, meaning that the film would be released in the States in mid-November. The site does however state that a lot of movie sites on the web list the film as being released in the early part of next year. I heard that this was the case from a number of sources too.

The IMDB also says that the film will be disrtibuted in North America by Paramount.



1/6/01
Paramount Pictures are in talks to distribution rights for K19 in North America. This from Variety, "Fox-based producer New Regency Entertainment had initially outbid the studio in January, but was then unable to come to terms with Intermedia, the film's financier and producer. Sources on all sides said the parting was amicable......The "K-19" production has faced several behind-the-scenes hiccups, including a lawsuit claiming that Intermedia stole the project from another production company, as well as complaints from sub survivors and their families that the script put the sailors in an unfairly harsh light." The same article confirmed that Harrison Ford's character has changed names, from Captain Zateyev, the name of the real Russian sailor to Alexi Vostrikov. (Thanks to Eileen)

This from Harrison Ford Web; "There will be some scenes in the movie where the actors will be aged about 20 years. This will be for the parts where some of them will reflect back on the event in 1961. Not sure if Harrison or Liam will be aged but I thought it was interesting Harrison had filmed scenes over in Russia at a cemetary. Could this be one of those type scenes".Cool. Can this site get any more info? Nice work guys!!!

Update 15/3/01

Update 13/3/01
- This comes direct from the K19 fansite over at HarrisonFordLine.com. They have had some news from a worker on the set of the movie confirming that Ford is speaking with a Russian accent. His manager also finally put an end to those pay rumours, this was published in The New York Post, "It's a total fabrication. Harrison has been working on the script and casting for three months, he travelled to London with the director to meet with Tom Stoppard before he came in and did a rewrite. The shoot is four and one-half months long, and he's working every single day". The fansite has a lot of stills from the set of the movie and are worth a look so click here to do that.

Update:
7/3/01 - Liam Neeson appeared on 'The View' TV show and rubbished speculation about Harrison Ford' s $1 million + per day wage. "I don't know where that rumor started. I know for a fact Mr. Ford is on this film, the length, the duration I am on it, which is something like working 73 days. So where this 20 days, I honestly don't know. He is worth every dollar. That's what i say. Absolutely he is. Because he pulls it in. He draws and people pay the money. He is a huge iconic star and he deserves it". Thanks to Dark Horizons
