Songs From Movies that Have Never Been Made

The CD is no longer available anywhere, however, Mira is thinking
about have another batch pressed. (Yay!!)

So, if you haven't managed to find a copy, or you have worn out your
original from excessive playing, drop me a note and let me know you'd
be interested in buying a copy if she reissues it.

I'm going to put together a list, so we have some idea how much
interest there might be.

Mira Furlan - Upcoming work

Mira will be returning to Hawaii to shoot an episode of LOST, in the very near future. She isn't a large part of this episode, but it seems to be a setup for possible future storylines.

And!! :-)

In the beginning of the year, Mira will be shooting a movie in the US. It's an independent production, with a script she likes, and apparently the producers asked for her, rather than her having to audition for it. As I get more releasable details on this project I will be passing them on.

Mira's movies

This has been coming up from a few fans in a few places - so I'm reposting it here:

Pretty much NOTHING of Mira's ex-Yugoslavian stuff is available with ENGLISH subtitles.

The 5 exceptions being:
Otac na sluzbenom putu (When Father Was Away on Business)
The VHS tape that was issued by Fox Lorber and Koch Lorber's DVD release have subtitles. Most video rental places with a half-decent collection of foreign films will probably have Koch Lorber's VHS release in their foreign film collection. But, there are also VHS tapes and DVD's that were issued in Serbia that do not have subtitles on them.

U raljama zivota (In the Jaws of Life)
The tape that is available from Facets Video in Chicago
http://www.facets.org $29.95
There are other releases of this film both on VHS tape and on DVD that do not have English subtitles on them.

Braca po materi (Maternal Halfbrothers)
The DVD release has subtitles - but is missing some of the scenes that were on the VHS tape that does NOT have subtitles.

Cao Inspektore
Which is a really crappy (homophobic, misogynistic) movie, has subtitles on the DVD release. Personally I'd pass, unless you have a lot of her other movies already.

Video jela, zelen bor (Dear Video) - directed by Mira's husband Goran Gajic.
The tape that Mira sold at conventions back in 1997 had subtitles - these are now rarer than hen's teeth - haven't seen one on ebay in at least 2 years. Rumours are that this film may be released in Serbia in the foreseeable future, but I have no information about whether it will have English subtitles on it, I'm assuming NOT until I hear for sure otherwise.

That is the whole complete and entire list of Mira's movies that are/were available with English subtitles. And that explains a lot about why I have been trying to learn Serbo-Croatian.

There is an English DUB issued in Taiwan of Put na jug (El Camino del Sur, Southbound). But it does not have the original soundtrack (with Mira's voice) on it. Sometimes it turns up on ebay *really* cheaply.

There are also a few French and German DUBS of a few of her films out there. Any film that has been DUBBED into French, German or English, also has a version available on either tape or DVD or both with the original soundtrack and Mira's voice on it. Mira did NOT do any of the dubs. If you are going to watch Mira's films in a language you don't understand, go for the version with the original soundtrack. Check either the IMDb http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001245/ or my list here http://www.zlatna.com/celebration/mfilmo.html to make sure that you are getting the original Yugoslavian title, and not one of the dubs (unless you are at least relatively fluent in the language the film is dubbed into).

There are a lot of her films that are now available out of Serbia on DVD, and more appearing all the time. Many are Region 2, some are Region 0. Assume that they do NOT have English subtitles on them.

Night Stalker - Timeless - Canadian Airing on SPACE.

Finally we get to see Mira's episode aired in Canada.

November 1st @ 10pm
November 2nd @ 11am
SPACE Channel

As a reminder, the series is also available on DVD.

Night Stalker airings - US & Canada

Mira's Night Stalker episode will air on the Sci-Fi Channel in the US on September 22nd - they just shifted the airing order around

And SPACE in Canada has just picked up the series, they start airing it at 10pm tonight, so her episode will probably air in October or November - I will update when I have a firm date.

Dragon*Con Radio Interview

Broadcasting now - will also rebroadcast on Friday

will also be added to their archive sometime this weekend.

And yet another Mira-Con

November 25 & 26, 2006 - Mid-Ohio-Con

With the show still months away, event producer Roger Price is officially announcing the start of what promises to be one of Mid-Ohio-Con's most impressive guest rosters. Headlining the list of media and comic book stars will be actress Mira Furlan, "Rousseau", from the hit ABC TV series "Lost", Ms. Furlan is also well known to fans from her portrayal of "Delenn" on "Babylon 5".

When Father was Away on Business

If you haven't yet seen this film of Mira's, there are 3 copies of the DVD on Ebay for $7.99US, which is as good a price for it as I've seen. This is one of the few films that Mira did in the former Yugoslavia that is easily available with subtitles.

It's a marvelous film, directed by Emir Kusturica. Kusturica won his first Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1985 for this film, he followed that 10 years later with a win for "Underground". He's one of only 4 directors to have twice won the Palme.
