Kerry Conran made a six minute short on his Apple Mac. It caught the eye of producer Jon Avnet and something new was born...
This is Heaven. Sure the story is light, but it's supposed to be - it's in keeping with the film's inspirations, which can clearly be seen wall-to-wall, and in the little details that pop up all over the place. It's shot entirely in front of a green screen, and one thing that helps is that it doesn't strive to be 100% real, so... you just sit back and go with it.
A labour of love, and its doing its own thing. The fact that it bombed big time at the box office comes as no surprise whatsoever, but for we enlightened few (we fans of the film), it's good to know that its steadily building a rep on DVD. Bottom line: $40.000.000 well spent!
