[moviedream]

Is the full documentary available?

[bpcraig]

I'll tell you what's sad. His last works were the video for Julian Lennon's first two singles. Imagine Itzhak Perlman's last performance being with a polka band at a church picnic and you get the idea. Thankfully we can enjoy the work he did in his prime.

[Shizzlacher]

Hey Mike, how long before Coburn's death did you guys score the interview w/ him?

[juniormike]

@Shizzlacher

We filmed him before the PASSION & POETRY shoot at our Peckinpah-festival in Italy (September 2000). I was going to film him again in LA in December 2002 but he passed away the day I filmed the hacienda in Mexico...

[10bnvnu]

Hey! This is what I'm talking about! Is it available on Netflix?

[crimthann86]

did it get released?

[iyaramonk]

Yea, you can order it at eldorado-filmDOTde

[iamtheblackcrowking]

wheres teh music from on this clip that comes on towards the end?

[juniormike]

The movies soundtrack was recorded by the Munich Trio GITANES BLONDES.

The DVD is finally available now.

[juniormike]

The 2-Disc DVD set is in production now to be available in Juli 2009...

[pektor72]

Bought your great DVD at Amazon, brother.

[juniormike]

Thanks brother!

I would send you one anyway.

You are on the DVD as well :)

[pektor72]

Me? On your DVD?! Wow!

Thank you so much, Mikey.

Its a honor to me being your friend & being at your great DVD.

Meeting you at Israel was a unique experience for me! I'll never forget that film festival.

[juniormike]

It would have been ready to release by now, if it wasn't for those delays: broken hard drive, an accident I recently had (limited eyesight for two weeks).

But the end is not far away. Again: this will be a German release, my own release. I don't know about foreign markets yet! Of course I'll offer the rights to worldsalers etc. What happens then - I don't know!!

[Abbysmom303]

Wasn't that L Q Jones in one shot?

[juniormike]

This is the cast:

Ernest Borgnine, Kris Kristofferson (singing too), James Coburn, Ali MacGraw, L.Q.Jones, R.G.Armstrong, Senta Berger, David Warner, Bo Hopkins, Isela Vega, Vadim Glowna, Mario Adorf, Roger Fritz, Katy Haber, Dan Melnick. Chalo Gonzalez, Fern Lea Peter, Garner Simmons, David Weddle, Martin Lewis, Gordon Dawson, Lupita Peckipah & narrator Monte Hellman.

2 disc DVD set is in production right now...

[Abbysmom303]

ok Thank you. :) Can't believe L Q Jones is that old already.

[ISB]

"Can't believe L Q Jones is that old already."

Hey, how 'bout Borgnine and & Armstrong, 10 years older than Jonesy...

Great cast Mike (thanx for the German actors as well), wish Dylan was interviewed tho.

[Abbysmom303]

I know it's hard to believe.

[robin14669]

Really? That's great news, Mike! I really want to see your Peckinpah documentary very badly. Been waiting for it for years.

A 2-disc DVD, great! And what a fine cast, so much legends who worked with Sam. (Rutger Hauer could't make it?)

Is it going to be released in Europe and Holland as well? What is the release date?

[McKleeny]

This is out of sync, Micky. -

[koechr]

The finish line is in sight...

Few more weeks of work...

The 2 - Disc will satisfy any fan Of Peckinpah (I hope):

Disc 1 : Feature Film (115 min.)

Disc 2: six aditional docs & featurettes (150 min.).

All in english, (incl. audio-commentary)

[imortall]

i love this movie any new news on when it might come out on dvd.

[billowandbethany]

Looks great! I liked Man of Iron quite a bit (especially the excerpts read by Robarbs--"You're a well-poisoner Jerry, and i damn you for it."), but if there's ever anyone who deserved another look, it's Sam Peckinpah. Imagine how massive a McCarthy adaptation could've been in his hands!

[johnnyspizza]

Will you upload the entire film?

[juniormike]

I'd have to sue myself then :)

(No , I won't)

[johnnyspizza]

Oh, come on....

[juniormike]

Spend $20,00 and you'll get a 2-disc Special Edition with 4 hours of PASSION & POETRY...

[kamuelavance]

I watch this every week

[juniormike]

I'm just working on the DVD. With 3 1/2 hours you can then fall back to more material than just this trailer :)

Thanks for your enthusiasm!

[talkskateboards]

just so you guys know this doc is avaliable on the major dundee dvd

[juniormike]

No, it is not.

On DUNDEE there is a 10 minute exerpt from PASSION & POETRY (exclusivly) extended to 22 minutes for the SONY DUNDEE DVD.

PASSION & POETRY the 112 minute film is another gig.... MIKE

[talkskateboards]

im 14 in about 3 years i plan to get a tatoo that says"r.i.p bloody sam" across my neck,i fuckin love peckinpah,he really didnt give 2 shits,and it comes across in his films seen as most of the protaganists or heroes get killed ultimatley,he was also a bad kid,something i can relate to he was sent to millitary school and then joined the marine corps in ww2,the wild bunch and pat garrett are the greatest westerns ever made "if they move.....kill em'".

[cholulasaucehot]

sam peckinpaw was second best

sergio leone was the best check out these westerns

the good the bad and the ugly

once upon a time in the west

duck you sucka aka fistful of dynamite

for a few dollars more

my name is nobody

fistful of dollars

and for the record peckinpaw's best western was ballad of cable hogue

listen and watch these movies kid trust me im right - popular opinion says i am plus im 40 not 14....you will end up gettin Leone tatoo'd on your neck lol

[pretorious700]

Nah, Peckinpah kicks Leone's ass down the block, and his best western was Ride the High Country. And I'm 55, not 40.

Granted, Once Upon A Time in the West is my favorite western ever, but Peckinpah's stuff had more depth.

[cholulasaucehot]

your an idiot at any age

why don't you contradict yourself again for fun.......

trust me your knowledge of film falls drastically short of mine......

so take my advice and stay quiet......and make sure you see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.....it's the best film ive seen since you were 35 years old....and while you are at it, purchase all 3 season's of DEADWOOD on DVD...it's the best TV show ever put on the tube.

[pretorious700]

Hard to take your self purported expertise seriously when you feel the need to personally insult to make a point. I read the novel No Country for Old Men (way better than the film) long before the film was made, and I had HBO when Deadwood was broadcast and saw all of the episodes. Speaking of contradiction, your previous post states your superior age as a proof of superior knowledge, then you denigrate me for doing the same thing.

[WankerSmurf]

I'm keen to see this. Any release date as yet?

[juniormike]

Production on the 2 Disc SE (europe PAL) starts this autumn...

[johnnybsteelriff]

Peckinpah was something Kubrick and other talented directors never could be....raw, bleeding emotions. Look at The Wild Bunch arguably one of the saddest films ever made, all heart...sadly missed.

[strawdogs111]

SAM NUMBER ONE EVER

[cholulasaucehot]

i love him also...but relax.....sergio leone has that distinction

[pektor72]

sergio & Sam are my favorites.

[mysteria31]

Thank you for caring and showing us something other than Old Bloody Sam ----------- Sam was one of America'a best directors and he should never be forgotten---thank you for keeping his memory alive. His films are just as vivid and alive today as they were thirty years ago.

[pektor72]

Mike my brother. What a great news finally. Can't wait of geting it [Although I have your present already :-)]. Miss you' man. Erez from Israel.

[juniormike]

Erez, my emails never reach you :(

[pektor72]

Hey Mikey, I sent you a Message.

[cholulasaucehot]

how good were his films ? the get away movie he made was the most profitable......and the worst movie he ever made..lol he was that good....drugs and alcohol are fine......brightest candles go out first...so what if you live to 59 or 79 whatever

[gideon1984]

Hi Mike, me and a lot of Peckinpah fans in Chile are waiting for the documental.. god luck with that!

[Sieglinde84]

Hello, Mike!

Jill here. :D

I'm waiting this movie.

[juniormike]

Finally, FINALLY I'm about to produce the DVD !

The wait will be worthwhile: it's gonna be packed with extras, altogether more than 3 hours of Sam.

[Alexsy82]

This is terrific news. Sam Peckinpah is amazing.

[ShazamzSkip666]

YEAH! Sam Peckinpah's films hit you like a mac truck.

[MadScout]

And treat you like a prison bitch. Long live Peckinpah!!!!

[MickTravisBickle]

This looks great! I hope it gets released soon.

[strawdogs111]

peckinpah president of the humanity....

[diojilove]

This documentary feature freakin' RULES!

[ColonelCuster]

This is great!!!

I hope it is released onto DVD.

That town of Parras where they filmed it had alot of history and now The Wild Bunch is a part of it.

[tristanactor]

Great! I've already seen it on the silver screen 8-)

Nevertheless, can't await the DVD release :)

[juniormike]

No, no, EREZ is Pecki No.1 !!

[pektor72]

Mike is the greatest "Pecki" fan. love you man.

Erez,Israel.

[juniormike]

Stimmt! Und der VFB wird Samstag Meister :)

[svwerder65]

Da hast du sogar recht behalten... :-(

[svwerder65]

Wunderbares, großartiges Kino! Sam Peckinpah war ein Genie!

[DrDangDOGGone]

Thank you juniormike!

[robin14669]

Hello Juniormike,

Where did you get this trailer? I also hope that Passion & Poetry - The ballad of Sam Peckinpah will we soon released on DVD. I saw an extended segment of this documentary on the DVD release of Major Dundee, and that already was really interesting. Sam Peckinpah was an amazing director and human being, I really like to see the Don Siegel docu.

[juniormike]

That's my film :)

Glad you liked DUNDEE. If you can play R2 DVD's you should get the German STRAW DOGS 2-Disc Special Edition I'm currently producing for a July release. It'll contain a long documentary (almost twiceas long as the one I did for DUNDEE) and 5 featurettes exclusevely produced by me for that release (Germany only), altogether about 70 minutes (plus other extras like the Super-8 version, Trailer, Spots, 16-page booklet with 60 color stills and artwork reproductions).
