Small Apartments release date

by

According to Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s press release, 11 months after its official premiere on the SXSW Film Festival in Texas, Jonas Åkerlund’s “Small Apartments” movie – for which Mr. Gessle has done the soundtrack based on the Son of a Plumber vibe – will finally be out in February, 2013. It will reach a limited audience, though, as it will appear in theaters in selected markets beginning 8th February via Tugg.com. Here you can check how tugg.com works.

The 97-minute-long movie will also be available on DVD from 19th February. DVD will include 2 bonus materials: “How To Build A Gravity Bong” & “Small Apartments: Behind The Scenes”. As Amazon.com informs, it will be a Region 1 DVD (US and Canada only). Language: English; subtitles: English, French, Spanish; dubbed: French. DVD can already be pre-ordered.*

What about the soundtrack? Good question. Will it ever be (physically) released? Hope we get some news on that soon.**

 

*According to Amazon.de, the DVD will be available for other regions, too, with the following subtitles: Italian, English, Arabic, French, Greek, Hindi, Dutch, Polish, Spanish, German. (Thanks for the info, Daniel Kühn.)

**According to The Daily Roxette: “The soundtrack to Small Apartments will be released on EMI Parlophone and “very soon” according to the writer of the music. There’s also whispers about vinyl…”

Teaser of the new Rox documentary

by

SVT has just shared a teaser (1m 36s long) of the upcoming Rox documentary called “IT ALL BEGINS WHERE IT ENDS”. Click here and enjoy!

 

Per says the documentary “will be subtitled for each country”.

Please see subtitles for the trailer prepared by Angelika Grabowska & Ajda Dzambic:

Per – I understand why artists like Rolling Stones never end their careers, you can never replace the feeling you get when you have your audience in front of you.. when you’re playing your music.
Marie – I’m tired today, but it gets good again the second you get on stage and you feel the energy and you get excited.
Per – This is what you/I do to shirts that are newly ironed.
This is something I have to do myself, no one does it as good as I..at least not with my shirts”
“Beautiful”
“I’ve done this over 100 times just this year, so you know the drill”
“I can tell you that it’s chaos just outside the hotel”
“The second we get on stage I’m filled with such energy from the audience and it turns into such an adrenaline kick…you get so happy and strong from that…strange job I have right?”

Per reveals title of the new Rox documentary

by

Per posted the info this afternoon on Roxette Official:  the title of the DVD will be “IT ALL BEGINS WHERE IT ENDS”. The title says it all and reading the comments, it seems to be very popular among all magic friends. How couldn’t it be?

Don’t forget that you can watch a shortened version of the documentary soon on SVT and as Per informs,  more international TV channels will follow shortly. Hopefully, we are not kept waiting so long for the release date of the DVD itself.
