Eager to grow up, Abigail "Abby" Louise Jensen (Debby Ryan) has been planning for her Sweet 16th birthday party ever since she was a little girl with a list of secret wishes she wants to come true. When the big day finally arrives, she excitedly adds her 16th and final wish to the secret wish list she's been keeping. Then begins the first of many unusual occurrences, each including visits from a peculiar woman, Celeste (Anna Mae Routledge). She first appears as an exterminator when the Jensen's house get overrun with wasps that has been building up for 16 years. The Jensen family are now unable to go back into their house until the wasps are exterminated. Abby's best friend, Jay Kepler (Jean-Luc Bilodeau), appears and offers Abby a jacket to wear over her pyjamas, as she is unable to go back into her house to change. When Abby reaches into Jay's jackets pocket, she finds a birthday present for her from Jay. It is a necklace with a half of a heart saying "BFF". Jay has the other half which he uses a charm on his key ring. As Jay and Abby go to their bus stop, a delivery truck pulls up, and Celeste comes out, dressed as a mail woman and gives a package to Abby. When Abby opens it, she discovers 16 candles and a matchbox.

Her birthday gets a whole lot brighter when Abby realizes that the candles correspond to her 16 wishes on her list and that they're each coming true. She lands the attention of her crush, gets the Ford Mustang she's always dreamed of, she gets back at her lifelong nemesis, Krista Cook (Karissa Tynes), and she is suddenly fashionable, athletic, and popular. She needs the perfect dress and Jay drops his wallet and Krista takes it. Then, they couldn't buy anything and Abby got mad. Abby then makes a wish to be treated like an adult, which results in her not being allowed to attend high school anymore, and no one at school remembers her, not even Jay.

Abby goes to Krista's Sweet 16 and convinces Jay, who also has a crush on her, that they are best friends by showing him the birthday present he gave her which restores his memories of her. However, Jay is unable to help her and can do nothing. Afterwards, Abby finds a loophole through the "rules", seeing as how her last wish was a picture of her crush, glued on with gum, which the rules don't know about.She switches the picture for a picture taken that morning of her and wishes she could go back to the way it was. Her life then goes back to normal, along with some dead wasps in the process. She and Krista become friends after Krista tells Abby why she hates her (Back in the 3rd grade, Abby and Jay made a pact to be best friends forever, but up until that point, Krista and Jay had been best friends). Abby and Krista have a combined Sweet 16 party and Krista and Logan, Abby's former crush, get together. Abby and Krista stop competing and work together to make the person who truly deserves to be Student Body President it: Jay. Abby and Jay kiss before sharing a dance together. Abby says she got everything she wants, Celeste disappears smiling.

The Runaways adalah nama yang tak bisa dilupakan dalam sejarah musik rock dunia. Bisa jadi, The Runaways adalah band rock pertama yang semua anggotanya adalah cewek. Dari band ini pula lantas muncul dua nama besar yang sampai sekarang masih dianggap legenda musik rock, Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) dan Lita Ford (Scout Taylor-Compton).

The Runaways sendiri pertama kali dibentuk di Los Angeles di penghujung tahun 1975. Cikal bakal all girls band ini adalah Joan Jett sang gitaris dan Sandy West (Stella Maeve), sang drummer yang punya impian besar menjadi rock star. Dengan bantuan Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), dua cikal bakal The Runaways ini pun bertemu dengan Lita Ford dan Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), dan Robin (Alia Shawkat ).

Tak disangka-sangka, dalam waktu singkat popularitas The Runaways meningkat pesat dan dalam sekejap mata pula kelima remaja berusia belasan ini menjadi band pembuka, band-band besar seperti Cheap Trick, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, The Ramones, dan bahkan Van Halen. Sayang di puncak kejayaan ini Cherry mulai kehilangan kendali dan memutuskan meninggalkan The Runaways.

RESENSI:

The Runaways is a 2010 American biographical film about the 1970s all-girl rock band of the same name. The film was written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, who based the screenplay on the book Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway by the band's original lead vocalist Cherie Currie. Dakota Fanning plays Currie, Kristen Stewart plays rhythm guitarist and vocalist Joan Jett, and Michael Shannon plays record producer Kim Fowley. The film depicts the formation of the band in 1975 and focuses on the relationship between Currie and Jett until Currie's departure from the band.

Plot

The film opens with Cherie (Dakota Fanning) and her sister, Marie Currie (Riley Keough), as Cherie has just got her first period. Marie's boyfriend, Derek (Brendan Sexton III), picks up the sisters from Marie's job at "Pup n' Fries" and Marie announces to him that Cherie has gotten her period. Angry at her sister for telling, she informs Derek that Marie is not wearing any underwear. Later, Cherie is seen cutting her hair in a shag and putting on face makeup in an attempt to create a look resembling Bowie on the cover of Aladdin Sane (the cover is shown on her wall as a poster). The scene is accompanied by scenes of Joan huffing something with her girlfriend. Cherie is later seen lip-syncing David Bowie's Lady Grinning Soul at the school talent show and is the target of paper balls, to which Cherie reacts by flipping off the crowd, but wins the talent show.
Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) is making out with a guy outside a club when she sees record producer Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon). Joan approaches him and talks about starting an all-girl rock band. Kim is interested and introduces Joan to Sandy West (Stella Maeve), a drummer. Joan and Sandy become friends and start jamming when Kim suggests that they recruit a hot blonde in the vein of Brigitte Bardot.
At a club, Kim and Joan look for hot blondes and discover Cherie. They ask if she wants to be in a band and she accepts. Then they tell her to come to auditions in a trailer park in the valley.
Cherie learns the cover song of Suzi Quatro's "Fever" and goes to audition, however they're disappointed at the song. Instead, Kim kicks Cherie out of the trailer and with Joan, thinks of a song for Cherie to audition for, thus writing "Cherry Bomb". Cherie sings it and, after improving, is part of the band.
After moving in with her aunt because her mother emigrated to Indonesia, Cherie travels to her first gig with the band. Soon, they get signed to Mercury Records and start recording an album. Due to the album's success, they travel to Japan to play a concert. After their performance, Lita Ford (Scout Taylor-Compton) throws magazines at Cherie that have pictures of her, something Cherie thought was for the whole band.
After an argument with Lita, Cherie, and Joan, crazy Japanese fans break through the window and chase the girls out of the building. Afterward, Cherie overdoses in the hotel, collapses in an elevator and is sent to the hospital. Upon arrival home, Cherie's alcoholic father is passed out on his bed. Cherie takes his painkillers and her actions are seen by Marie.
At the studio recording their next album, Cherie has a breakdown and refuses to play, followed by Lita trash-talking her and Joan defending Cherie. After a very heated argument, Cherie quits the band and leaves. Joan breaks down, throwing chairs and beer bottles against the glass. Cherie returns home while Joan continues playing and starts her own band, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Cherie collapses again in a phone booth in a supermarket parking lot. At the hospital, Marie visits her and tells her to get her stuff straight.
Later at a job, Cherie hears Joan's cover of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" on the radio and calls the station, where Joan is visiting for interviews. After an awkward conversation between Joan, Cherie, and even the radio host, Rodney Bingenheimer (Keir O'Donnell), Cherie says her goodbyes and continues working, smiling when Joan's next song, "Crimson and Clover", comes on the radio.

Release

Apparition acquired distribution rights to The Runaways in December 2009.[3] It was slated to open nationwide March 19, 2010, in 1,400 theaters.[4] The film's world premiere took place on January 24, 2010, at the Sundance Film Festival.[5] Jett performed live in Park City the evening before the premiere and premiere night.[6] Its Hollywood premiere took place March 11 at the ArcLight Hollywood.[7] Its theatrical release in the United States began March 19.

Box office and home media

The Runaways opened in the United States on Friday, March 19, 2010, at 244 theaters.[1] Its opening weekend gross was $805,115—placing it at #18 at the box office—averaging $3,300 per theater,[1] and most of its audience that weekend were 25 or older.[8] Apparition changed their marketing strategy and began to target "older arthouse" demographics April 9, by which time The Runaways had grossed approximately $2 million.[9] It left theaters June 3 with a domestic gross of $3,573,653.[1] Variety reported that the film's underperformance at the box office could have been due to underfunded marketing and a failure to find an audience with either an age demographic that would remember the band or with fans of Stewart for her performance in Twilight (2008).[10]
The Runaways was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United States on July 20, 2010.

Critical reception

The Runaways received generally favorable reviews from critics.[11] Rotten Tomatoes reported that 65% of 142 sampled critics gave the film positive reviews and that it got a rating average of 6.2 out of 10.[12] At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 65 based on 35 reviews.[11] The performances of Stewart, Fanning and Shannon were picked out as some of the film's strongest elements.[12] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle noted that the film "doesn't always tell the literal truth" about the band, but felt that "[m]ore crucially, it conveys precisely what it was like to be young in the mid-1970s [...] And in getting that one thing right—in capturing that strange combination of despair and frustrated energy—it gets everything right."[13] Roger Ebert gave The Runaways 3 stars out of 4, praising the performances of Shannon, Stewart and Fanning, while writing that the film's visuals and music "[helped] cover an underwritten script and many questions about the characters" which he found slimly developed.[14] Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a positive review, commenting that it "proves [to be a] conventionally enjoyable making-and-breaking-of-the-band saga" and goes on to compliment the cinematography and soundtrack.[15] A. O. Scott of The New York Times felt that Sigismondi "infuses crucial scenes with a rough, energetic spirit, and shows a willingness to accept the contradictions inherent in the material without prurience, moralism or too much sentimentality." Even if The Runaways "hits a few too many standard music biography beats" and "may be a little too tame in the end", he added, "at its best it is just wild enough."[16] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B− and wrote that Sigismondi's "sixth sense for how the Runaways were bad-angel icons first and a rock & roll band second" was the "most entertaining thing about" the film, which he described as a "highly watchable if mostly run-of-the-mill group biopic".[17] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times felt that the film, which she described as "a street-level snapshot" of the titular band's creation, should have featured Jett's story instead of staying "too narrowly focused" on that of Currie.[18] David Edelstein of New York Magazine gave the film a less positive review, commenting that "since the music itself is secondary, there’s not a lot to this story," and adding "It’s Fanning’s movie: You can taste the ex–child actor’s relish for playing jailbait."[19] Mark Sells of The Oregon Herald was also less impressed, suggesting that the film "lacks an anarchistic punch - an authenticity and angst so distinctive of the band's rock n' roll revolution."[20] Time magazine praised the acting in the film, in particular the work of Dakota Fanning, stating that Fanning "turns in a performance of startling maturity", "seduces us utterly" and is "like a mini--Meryl Streep" [21]

SLEEPY HOLLOW (1999)

Tanggal Rilis :19 November 1999 (Amerika Serikat)
Jenis Film : Fantasy | Mystery | Thriller
Diperankan Oleh : Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci dan Miranda Richardson

Ringkasan Cerita FILM SLEEPY HOLLOW :


Kisah horor klasik sering mengambil dari cerita rakyat atau legenda seperti kisah hantu penunggang kuda tanpa kepala. Legenda itulah yang menjadi basis dari film horor klasik karya penulis Irving Washington yang berjudul “Sleepy Hollow”.
Kisahnya dimulai pada tokoh detektif polisi muda di New York pada tahun 1799, yaitu Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp). Polisi muda itu lebih suka menggunakan pendekatan ilmu pengetahuan untuk membuktikan kejahatan daripada melakukan penyiksaan demi mendapat pengakuan dari tertuduh seperti yang biasa dilakukan sesama polisi pada zaman itu. Keyakinan dan kegigihan Crane untuk menggunakan ilmu pengetahuan forensik itu membuat para penegak hukum tidak suka padanya.
Seorang hakim New York yang brengsek sampai kehabisan kesabaran menghadapi Crane sehingga menyuruh polisi idealis itu untuk menyelidiki sederet pembunuhan aneh di daerah pedalaman Sleepy Hollow. Kepala para korban pembunuhan aneh itu dipotong dan dibawa pergi pembunuhnya sehingga para warga Sleepy Hollow yang hampir seluruhnya merupakan keturunan Belanda hanya menemukan para jasad korban tanpa kepala.
Teror kejahatan itu dipercayai oleh penduduk desa itu dilakukan oleh hantu penunggang kuda tanpa kepala, “Headless Horseman” yang merupakan legenda daerah itu. Kabarnya hantu itu membalas dendam atas pembunuhannya beberapa tahun lalu. Tentu saja Crane yang merasa sebagai orang rasionalis tidak percaya pada keyakinan para warga desa Sleepy Hollow itu.
Sayangnya kedatangan Crane disambut dingin oleh para warga Sleepy Hollow termasuk warga kelas elit seperti hakim ataupun Baltus Van Tassel, tuan tanah terbesar wilayah itu. Untunglah ada segelintir orang bersedia membantunya karena ingin teror itu berakhir seperti Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci).
Crane dan Katrina saling jatuh cinta, namun membuat seorang pria muda, Brom Van Brunt (Casper Van Dien) yang mencintai Katrina, cemburu dan benci kepada Crane. Mampukah Crane menemukan pembunuh yang suka memotong dan membawa kepala korbannya? Mungkinkah memang ada hantu penunggang kuda tanpa kepala di Sleepy Hollow?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESENSI :

Sleepy Hollow is a 1999 American period horror film directed by Tim Burton. Based on the Washington Irving story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the film stars Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Marc Pickering, Michael Gambon, Jeffrey Jones, Casper Van Dien, Ian McDiarmid, Michael Gough, and Christopher Walken. The plot follows police constable Ichabod Crane (Depp) sent from New York City to investigate a series of murders in the village Sleepy Hollow by a mysterious Headless Horseman.
Development for Sleepy Hollow began in 1993 at Paramount Pictures with Kevin Yagher originally set to direct Andrew Kevin Walker's script as a low-budget slasher film. Disagreements with Paramount resulted in Yagher being demoted to prosthetic makeup designer, and Burton was hired to direct in June 1998. Filming took place from November 1998 to May 1999, and Sleepy Hollow was released to generally favorable reviews from critics, and grossed approximately $207 million worldwide. Production designer Rick Heinrichs and set decorator Peter Young won the Academy Award for Best Art Direction.

Plot

In 1799, New York City police constable Ichabod Crane is dispatched by his superiors to the upstate hamlet of Sleepy Hollow, New York, to investigate a series of brutal slayings in which the victims have been found decapitated. A frequent user of new, though so far unproven investigative techniques such as finger-printing and autopsies, Crane arrives in Sleepy Hollow armed with his bag of scientific tools only to be informed by the town's elders that the murderer is not of flesh and blood, rather a headless supernatural warrior from beyond the grave who rides at night on a massive black steed.
Crane ignores the supernatural reports and begins his own investigation, until he encounters the Headless Horseman. Boarding a room at the home of the town's richest family, the Van Tassels, Crane develops an attraction to their daughter, the mysterious Katrina, even as he's plagued by nightmares of his mother's horrific torture when he was a child. Delving further into the mystery with the aid of the orphaned Young Masbeth, whose father was a victim of the Horseman, Crane discovers within the Western Woods both the Horseman's entry point between the both the natural and supernatural world, the gnarled Tree of the Dead, and his grave.
He finds the Horseman's skull is missing, though the murders continue until Crane uncovers a murky plot revolving around revenge and land rights with the Horseman controlled by Katrina's stepmother, Lady Van Tassel, who sends the killer after her. Following a fight in the local windmill and a stagecoach chase through the woods, Crane eventually thwarts Lady Van Tassel by returning the skull to the Horseman, who regains his head and heads back to Hell along with her. His job in Sleepy Hollow over, Crane, Katrina and Young Masbeth return to New York, in time for the new century.

Cast

  • Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane: His belief in improved methods of justice, new investigate techniques and scientific procedures is resented by his superiors, who dispatch him north to the Hudson Valley and the small town of Sleepy Hollow.
  • Christina Ricci as Katrina Van Tassel: Ichabod's love interest and only heir to one of the neighborhood's richest farmers.
  • Miranda Richardson as Lady Van Tassel / Crone Sister: Wife of Baltus and stepmother of Katrina, the true main villain of the film, she is the one controlling the horseman as she has his head, which he is looking for; she dies when the Horseman takes her back to hell with him.
  • Marc Pickering as Young Masbath: An orphan who looks towards Ichabod as a father figure after his own father is murdered by the Horseman. In the act, he helps him investigate the murders of the Headless Horseman alongside Katrina.
  • Sir Michael Gambon as Baltus Van Tassel: After Peter Van Garret is murdered, he is placed as the leader of the city. He dies when the horseman drives a fence post through his body. Initially, he is inside a church - which the Horseman cannot enter - so the Horseman simply pulls him out of the church window to behead him.
  • Jeffrey Jones as Reverend Steenwyck: The reverend of the village is shot by Baltus Van Tassel after he kills Lancaster with the wooden cross.
  • Casper Van Dien as Brom Van Brunt: A strong man who is somewhat romantically involved with Katrina. He's hostile to Ichabod upon meeting him, and later ends up dying at the hands of the horseman by being cut in half through the waist while attempting to stop him.
  • Ian McDiarmid as Doctor Lancaster: The only doctor and surgeon in the village and murdered by Steenwyck in the church when he is struck on the head with a cross to prevent him revealing the plot. He was having an affair with servant girl Sarah (Jessica Oyelowo) who was murdered by Lady van Tassel.
  • Michael Gough as Notary Hardenbrook: The local banker and possibly the oldest citizen in the village, he hangs himself.
  • Christopher Walken as The Headless Horseman: A brutal and sadistic Hessian mercenary sent to America during the American Revolutionary War. He is killed though his spirit lives on through The Headless Horseman (portrayed by Ray Park and stuntman Rob Inch); in this form he is seemingly indestructible since there are no ill effects after getting shot, stabbed, and trapped in a burning mill, although he cannot walk on consecrated ground such as the ground around a church.
  • Richard Griffiths as Magistrate Philipse: The town's magistrate who is the sixth victim of the Headless Horseman.
Burton and Gough had previously worked together on Batman and Batman Returns, with Gough portraying Alfred Pennyworth.
Christopher Lee, Martin Landau (previously won an Academy Award on Tim Burton's Ed Wood) and Burton's then fiancée Lisa Marie are all involved in cameos. Lee is credited as the Burgomaster who sends Ichabod to investigate the murders at Sleepy Hollow. Landau portrays Peter Van Garrett with no dialogue; and is murdered by The Headless Horseman in the opening scene. Marie is featured as "Lady Crane," Ichabod's mother in flashbacks who was involved in witchcraft and later painfully murdered by his strict religious father.

Production

Development

In 1993, Kevin Yagher, a make-up effects designer who had turned to directing with Tales from the Crypt, had the notion to adapt Washington Irving's short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow into a feature film. Through his agent, Yagher was introduced to Andrew Kevin Walker; they spent a few months working on a film treatment[2] that transformed Ichabod Crane as a schoolmaster from Connecticut to a banished New York City detective.[3] Yagher and Walker subsequently pitched Sleepy Hollow to various studios and production companies, eventually securing a deal with producer Scott Rudin,[2] who had been impressed with Walker's unproduced spec script for Seven.[1] Rudin optioned the project to Paramount Pictures in a deal that had Yagher set to direct, with Walker scripting; the pair would share story credit.[2] Following the completion of Hellraiser: Bloodline, Yahger had planned Sleepy Hollow as a low-budget production - "a pretentious slasher film with a spectacular murder every five minutes or so." Paramount disagreed on the concept and demoted Yagher's involvement to prosthetic makeup designer.[4] "They never really saw it as a commercial movie," producer Adam Schroeder noted. "The studio thinks "old literary classic" and they think The Crucible. We started developing it before horror movies came back."[5]
Paramount CEO Sherry Lansing revived studio interest in 1998.[1] Schroeder, who shepherded Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands as a studio executive at 20th Century Fox in 1990, suggested that Burton direct the film.[6] Francis Ford Coppola's minimal production duties came from American Zoetrope; Burton only became aware of Coppola's involvement during the editing process when he was sent a copy of Sleepy Hollow's trailer and saw Coppola's name on it.[6] Burton, coming off the troubled production of Superman Lives, was hired to direct in June 1998.[7] "I had never really done something that was more of a horror film," he explained, "and it's funny, because those are the kind of movies that I like probably more than any other genre."[2] His interest in directing a horror film influenced by his love for Hammer Film Productions and Black Sunday - particularly the supernatural feel they evoked as a result of being filmed primarily on sound stages.[5] As a result, Sleepy Hollow is a homage to various Hammer Film Productions, including Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde,[8] and other films such as Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, various Roger Corman horror films,[9] Jason and the Argonauts, and Scream Blacula Scream.[1] The image of the Headless Horseman had fascinated Burton during his apprenticeship as a Disney animator at Cal Arts in the early 1980s.[9] "One of my teachers had worked on the Disney version as one of the layout artists on the chase, and he brought in some layouts from it, so that was exciting. It was one of the things that maybe shaped what I like to do."[2] Burton worked with Walker on rewrites, but Rudin suggested that Tom Stoppard rewrite the script[10] to add to the comical aspects of Ichabod's bumbling mannerisms, and emphasize the character's romance with Katrina. His work went uncredited through the WGA screenwriting credit system.[1]
While Johnny Depp was Burton's first choice for the role of Ichabod Crane, Paramount required him to consider Brad Pitt, Liam Neeson, and Daniel Day-Lewis.[5][11] Depp was cast in July 1998 for his third collaboration with Burton.[12] The actor wanted Ichabod to parallel Irving's description of the character in the short story. This included a long prosthetic snipe nose, huge ears, and elongated fingers. Paramount turned down his suggestions,[13] and after Depp read Tom Stoppard's rewrite of the script, he was inspired to take the character even further. "I always thought of Ichabod as a very delicate, fragile person who was maybe a little too in touch with his feminine side, like a frightened little girl," Depp explained.[1] He did not wish to portray the character as a typical action star would have, and instead took inspiration by Angela Lansbury's performance in Death on the Nile.[1] "It's good," Burton reasoned, "because I'm not the greatest action director in the world, and he's not the greatest action star."[6] Depp modeled Ichabod's detective personality from Basil Rathbone in the 1939 Sherlock Holmes film series. He also studied Roddy McDowall's acting for additional influence.[13] Burton added that "the idea was to try and find an elegance in action of the kind that Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing or Vincent Price had."[6] Christina Ricci, who worked with producer Scott Rudin on The Addams Family, was cast as Katrina Van Tassel.[5] Sleepy Hollow also reunited Burton with Jeffrey Jones (from Beetlejuice and Ed Wood) as Reverent Steenwyck, Christopher Walken (Max Schreck in Batman Returns) as the Hessian Horseman, Martin Landau (Ed Wood) in a cameo role, and Hammer veteran Michael Gough (Alfred in Burton's Batman films), whom Burton tempted out of retirement.[6] The Hammer influence was further confirmed by the casting of Christopher Lee in a small cameo.[14]

Filming

Supervised by Heinrichs, the town of Sleepy Hollow was constructed around a small duck pound. At a cost estimated at $1.3 million, and over a period of four months, 12 structures were built, several with detailed interiors as well as exteriors.[2]
The original intention had been to shoot Sleepy Hollow predominately on location with a $30 million budget.[15] Towns were scouted throughout Upstate New York along the Hudson Valley,[2] and the filmmakers decided on Tarrytown[7] for an October 1998 start date.[12] The Historic Hudson Valley organization assisted in scouting locations, which included the Philipsburg Manor House and forests in the Rockefeller State Park Preserve.[3] "They had a wonderful quality to them," production designer Rick Heinrichs reflected on the locations, "but it wasn't quite lending itself to the sort of expressionism that we were going for, which wanted to express the feeling of foreboding."[16] Disappointed, the filmmakers scouted locations in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, and considered using Dutch colonial villages and period town recreations in the Northeastern United States. When no suitable existing location could be found, coupled with a lack of readily available studio space in the New York area needed to house the production's large number of sets, producer Scott Rudin suggested England.[2]
Rudin believed England offered the level of craftsmanship in period detail, painting, and costuming that was suitable for the film's design.[17] Having directed Batman entirely in England, Burton agreed, and designers from Batman's art department were employed by Paramount for Sleepy Hollow.[6] As a result, principal photography was pushed back[18] to November 20, 1998 at Leavesden Film Studios, which had been recently vacated by Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.[15] The majority of filming took place at Leavesden, with studio other work at Shepperton Studios,[2] where the massive Tree of the Dead set was built using Stage H.[1] Production then moved to the Hambleden Estate at Lime Tree Valley for a month-long shoot in March, where the town of Sleepy Hollow was constructed.[2] "We came to England figuring we would find a perfect little town," producer Adam Schroeder recalled, "and then we had to build it anyway." Filming in England continued through April,[2] and a few last minute scenes were shot using a sound stage in Yonkers, New York the following May.[3][19]

Design

The Tree of the Dead, designed by Keith 
Responsible for the film's production design was Rick Heinrichs, who Burton intended to use on Superman Lives. While the production crew was always going to build a substantial number of sets, the decision was taken early on that to fulfill Burton's vision best would necessitate shooting Sleepy Hollow in a totally controlled environment at Leavesden Film Studios.[21] The production design was influenced by Burton's love for Hammer Film Productions and Black Sunday - particularly the supernatural feel they evoked as a result of being filmed primarily on sound stages. Heinrichs was also influenced by American colonial architecture, German Expressionism, Dr. Suess illustrations, and Hammer's Dracula Has Risen from the Grave.[5] One sound stage at Leavesden was dedicated to the "Forest to Field" set, for the scene in which the Headless Horseman races out of the woods and into a field. This stage was then transformed into, variously, a graveyard, a corn field, a field of harvested wheat, a churchyard, and a snowy battlefield. In addition, a small backlot area was devoted to a New York City street and waterfront tank.[15]

[edit] Cinematography

Burton was impressed by the cinematography in Great Expectations, and hired Emmanuel Lubezki as Sleepy Hollow's director of photography. Initially, Lubezki and Burton contemplated shooting the film in black and white and in old square Academy ratio. When that proved unfeasible, they opted for an almost monochromatic effect which would enhance the fantasy aspect.[6] Burton and Lubezki intentionally planned the over-dependency of smoke and soft lighting to accompany the film's sole wide-angle lens strategy. Lubezki also used Hammer horror[22] and Mexican lucha films from the 1960s, such as Santo Contra los Zombis and Santo vs. las Mujeres Vampiro.[5] Lighting effects increased the dynamic energy of the Headless Horseman, while the contrast of the film stock was increased in post-production to add to the monochromatic feel.[22]
Leavesden Studios, a converted airplane factory, presented problems because of its relatively low ceilings. This was less of an issue for The Phantom Menace, in which set height was generally achieved by digital means. "Our visual choices get channeled," Heinrichs elaborated, "so you end up with liabilities that you tend to exploit as virtues. When you've got a certain ceiling height, and you're dealing with painted backings, you need to push atmosphere and diffusion."[15] This was particularly the case in several exteriors that were built on sound stages. "We would mitigate the disadvantages by hiding lights with teasers and smoke."[15]

[edit] Visual effects

The majority of Sleepy Hollow's 150 visual effects shots were handled by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM),[23] while Kevin Yagher supervised the human and creature effects. Framestore also assisted on digital effects, and The Mill handled motion control photography.[24] In part a reaction to the computer-generated effects in Mars Attacks!, Burton adopted to use a limited amount of digital effects as possible.[6] Ray Park, who served as the Headless Horseman stunt double, wore a blue ski mask for the chroma key effect, digitally removed by ILM.[10] Burton and Heinrichs applied to Sleepy Hollow many of the techniques they had used in stop motion animation on Vincent - such as forced perspective sets.[21]
The windmill was a 60-foot-tall forced-perspective exterior (visible to highway travelers miles away), a base and rooftop set and a quarter-scale miniature. The interior of the mill, which was about 30-feet high and 25-feet wide, featured wooden gears equipped with mechanisms for grinding flour. A wider view of the windmill was rendered on a Leavesden soundstage set with a quarter-scale windmill, complete with rotating vanes, painted sky backdrop and special-effects fire. "It was scary for the actors who were having burning wood explode at them," Heinrichs recalled. "There were controls in place and people standing by with hoses, of course, but there's always a chance of something going wrong."[25] For the final shot of the burning mill exploding, the quarter-scale windmill and painted backdrop were erected against the outside wall of the "flight shed," a spacious hangar on the far side of Leavesden Studios. The hangar's interior walls were knocked down to create a 450-foot run, with a 40-foot width still allowing for coach and cameras. Heinrichs tailored the sets so cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki could shoot from above without seeing the end of the stage.[25]
Actor Ian McDiarmid, who portrayed Dr. Lancaster, had just finished another Leavesden production with Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. He compared the aesthetics of the two films, stating that physical sets helped the actors get into a natural frame of mind. "Having come from the blue-screen world of Star Wars it was wonderful to see gigantic, beautifully made perspective sets and wonderful clothes, and also people recreating a world. It's like the way movies used to be done."[17]

Musical score

The film score was written and produced by Danny Elfman. Steve Bartek, who worked with Elfman as the lead guitarist for Oingo Boingo, Conrad Pope, and Mark McKenzie arranged the compositions for the orchestra.

 Release

To promote Sleepy Hollow, Paramount Pictures featured the film's trailer at San Diego Comic-Con International in August 1999.[26] The following October, the studio launched a website, which Variety described as being the "most ambitious online launch of a motion picture to date."[27] The site (sleepyhollowmovie.com) offered visitors live video chats with several of the filmmakers hosted by Yahoo! Movies and enabled them to send postcards, view photos, trailers and a six-minute behind-the-scenes featurette edited from a broadcast that aired on Entertainment Tonight. Extensive tours of 10 sets where offered, where visitors were able to roam around photographs, including the sets for the entire town of Sleepy Hollow, forest, church, graveyard and covered bridge. Arthur Cohen, president of worldwide marketing for Paramount, explained that the "Web-friendly" pre-release reports[27] from websites such as Ain't It Cool News and Dark Horizons[28][29] encouraged the studio to create the site.[27] In the weeks pre-dating the release of Sleepy Hollow, a toy line was marketed by McFarlane Toys.[30] Simon & Schuster also published The Art of Sleepy Hollow (ISBN 0671036572), which included the film's screenplay and an introduction by Tim Burton.[31] A novelization, also published by Simon & Schuster, was written by Peter Lerangis.[32]
Sleepy Hollow was released in the United States on November 19, 1999 in 3,069 theaters, grossing $30,060,467 in its opening weekend[33] at the #2 spot behind The World Is Not Enough.[34] Sleepy Hollow eventually earned $101,071,502 in domestic gross, and $105 million in foreign sales, coming to a worldwide total of $206,071,502.[33] David Walsh of the National Institute on Media and the Family criticized the film's financial success from the exaggeration of gore. "The real impact is not so much that violent images create violent behavior," Walsh explained, "but that they create an atmosphere of disrespect." Burton addressed the concerns as a matter of opinion. "Everyone has a different perception of things. When I was a kid," Burton continued, "I was probably more scared by seeing John Wayne or Barbra Streisand on the big screen than by seeing violence."[35]
Paramount Home Video first released Sleepy Hollow on DVD in the United States on May 23, 2000.[36] The HD DVD release came in July 2006,[37] The film was released on Blu-ray Disc in June 2008.[38]
