[Angel of Grief]

hmm... Let's see what will be in the movie:

Taikatalvi - intro, a beautiful view of winter
Storytime - the Snowman
Ghost River - fight between Mother Earth and the Devil (unfortunately they haven't money to do it so... it won't be in movie )
Slow love slow - a scene in jazz club
I want my tears back - ??
Scaretale - haunted circus?
Arabesque - Arabian dance of death
Turn Loose the Marmaids - ??
Rest Calm - funeral
The crow, the owl and the dove - ??
Last ride of the day - rollercoaster
Song of Myself - ??
Imaginaerum - outro

Thanks, Adrian! I know that Tuomas mentioned having to cut a lot in the "Ghost River" scenes in our interview, so this bit of news wasn't too surprising. The rest of it sounds very interesting, though.

 

[Angel of Grief]

Yes.

Songs: Slow love slow, Scaretale and I want my tears back won't be edited by Petri Alanko. It's great news because I love Scaretale "as is".

 

[C.]

Yeah, that song is just fine already and should be left alone.

 

[C.]

OK folks, looks like Stobe is posting some video updates for all of us to enjoy...except he doesn't really say what they are!

The movie is finished and ready for distributors to decide where to view it in theaters.

Today the band made an exciting announcement

****************************

Solar Films Inc. & Eastway proudly present:

THE WORLD PREMIERE OF NIGHTWISH’S IMAGINAERUM GETS ITS WORLD PREMIERE ALONGSIDE OF NIGHTWISH CONCERT IN HELSINKI, 10TH OF NOVEMBER 2012

The highly expected fantasy film Imaginaerum by Nightwish starts its high flight on Saturday 10th of November in Helsinki, Finland. During the same night the privileged audience witnesses not only the world premiere of Imaginaerum, but also a spectacular Nightwish concert.

Imaginaerum is a unique fantasy movie combined with Nightwish’s enchanting music. The movie embraces the athmosphere of artworks by David Lynch, Neil Gaiman and Cirque du Soleil. Imaginaerum is an innovative story about the power of imagination, and according to the band, it contemplates the things that eventually matter the most in life.

The movie is based on the original idea of Nightwish’s leading figure, Tuomas Holopainen. Film’s storyline was co-written with the film’s director Stobe Harju, and the movie was made and produced in Canada by Solar Films Inc. All the musicians of Nightwish are also featured in the movie.

According to Tuomas Holopainen the idea of the movie first surged in 2007 when the band wanted to take their already big-scale show and musical expression to the next level. What it came down to was a sincere desire to share, alongside of Nightwish’s music, a deeply touching story, made with love and true devotion.

The film – both innovative and timeless – gets its world premiere at Hartwall Arena, Helsinki on 10th of November. During the same night Nightwish performs for the last time this year in the band’s home country Finland with spectacular elements.

^ Derp. I just have the forum bookmarked, so I usually end up here first, I hadn't even noticed!

 

[C.]

That's OK; normally I post new stuff here first too, but since everything was happening so fast, I updated the site/Facebook first and forgot to come here!

Edit: Anette posted this on her blog

"Wednesday, 19 September 2012

Tonight I have seen...

...the Imaginaerum movie for the very first time, people;=)

And I can just say that I really liked it! I cried in the end (yeah, sensitive as I am;=) and it was just amazing to see it all finally finished."






(A sidenote: Nightwish guys watched the final version together at Stobe Harjus' home in Helsinki two weeks ago already, just before travelling overseas to Atlanta to lauch the 2012 US tour. Anette couldn't make it to that common preview night, even on that nigh she stayed only 45 mins flight away from Helsinki in Stockholm with her son, while her hubby was playing with Pain on a metal cruise between Stockholm, Sweden and Turku, Finland.)
