USA Release Date

Reportedly The Weinstein Company has the US distribution rights for GIALLO but there's no official news about theatrical distributions here yet. Argento himself stated in this year's FANGORIA WEEKEND OF HORRORS in NYC, that he has sent messages to GIALLO's producers to inquire when his film will be officially theatrically released, but he hasn't gotten any response from them, which is not a good sign.

Hopefully, a week from never.

I've read a quite interesting article in the italian magazine Nocturno from October 2009 about "Giallo"...Sergio Stivaletti thinks that "Giallo"'s screenplay was ironic,tongue in cheek and he even thinks that Dario (also Brody and the crew) wanted to shoot it in the same playful mood.
In fact "Giallo" was an "old" project,it should have been shot just after "Do you like Hitchcock?"
The film was quite low budgeted (4 millions) so the production couldn't afford a big name like the Oscar winner Brody but Brody was enthusiastic about the project so he accepted but only if he could be credited as an executive producer and only

SPOILER

if he could play both characters of Enzo and Giallo (Brody saw his performance(s) as a kind of challenge for him,especially with one character hidden under a make up);

SPOILER'S END

in the article Roy Bava,Stivaletti and Dario also say very positive things about Brody and Emmanuelle Seigner.
It seems that three various endings have been shot,an "happy" one,a nastier one and an ambiguous one (i guess that it is the actual one we see in the film).
The american producers,because of the casting,wanted too much money to sell the film's rights,explaining why the film has been sold poorly in the market films..finally there are two reviews in this article,a positive one and a negative one.
