Savage Messiah: Ken Russell > Savage Messiah: Ken Russell
Lisztomania Director's Commentary
Donald McKinney:
Hi, I'm a long time Ken Russell fan, and I hope it's not too late to add a suggestion or three...
Was anything cut out?? If so, does it still exist?? Where did the idea for the Texas hoedown music to the swordfight at the start come from?? Where did Ken get the idea for the giant erm... "genius" that Roger entertains the ladies of the Russian court with?? :o ;D
spasmo:
3 questions for Ken: Would you like to do more flamboyant and truly original biopics on the lives of great composers? If yes, do you have anybody particular in mind? Do you want to do something with Melvyn Bragg again?
I think a separate commentary featuring the famous rockers who took part in the making of this masterpiece would be a perfect addition, but it would be most hilarious if the three aforementioned stars (Roger Daltrey, Ringo Starr and Rick Wakeman) joined Ken while recording his commentary. All four people have a wonderful sense of humour, especially Mr. Wakeman who is a fantastic storyteller. His book, 'Grumpy Old Rock Star' contains some of the funniest anecdotes I've ever read...
RingoFan:
Oops, you're right...
Lisztomania was the first film to be encoded with a Dolby Stereo optical soundtrack, though:

That audio commentary with Daltrey and Wakeman sounds delicious! Just the other day I was talking with a girl friend of mine who happens to love Lisztomania and she said that she would REALLY like to hear just what Mr. Daltrey has to say for himself about this movie in particular...! ;)
Nick Jones:
I would like to see Ken Hanke, author of Ken Russell's Films, join Ken Russell for the commentary. Although I haven't read the book in years, I remember he had a lot of insightful things to say about Lisztomania.

A separate commentary with Roger Daltry and Rick Wakeman would be a bonus.
RingoFan, I thought Tommy was the first Quintaphonic film.
RingoFan:
Hi, being a Ringo fan (hence the name...), I would like very much for Mr. Russell to address just how on earth Mr. Starr got to be part of the movie. Also, I would like to know if Digital Classics is going to release the movie with a 5.1 Digital soundtrack (let's not forget that Lisztomania was the first movie to be released with a Dolby Stereo Optical audio track, then billed as Quintaphonic).
Also, will english subtitles be included? Original trailer and other merchandising material will be a nice inclusion too.
Cheers!
