EPIC lands in the UK

[G Lap]

Excellent news and a very nice surprise. I'll be in Pinewood's vicinity over the coming weekend so will drop Alan a line to see if Friday or Monday would work fork a quick visit.

 

[JustinC]

Alan, any chance you guys can organise a 5k has landed day?

 

[David Dwyer]

Would love to come and see this in action.

Good Luck Guys!

 

[Tim Hole]

all American boy, helping us Brits out....

Ummm...No comment!

Ahh well...would a rose by any other name...

 

[Detlev Eller]

i like it!

 

[Matt Sibley]

sweet, if only i could get myself down to pinewood

 

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

Hopefully you gave it a suitably English name.

Is it called Le Epic on France?

 

[Eren Ozkural]

Yes! I will definitely be paying a visit over the coming weeks!

 

[Kevin Olsen]

Where's Stuart? We need one in Austin....pretty please? (love the McQueen name for the UK model)

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Is it called Le Epic on France?

That's "le épique" to you, sir.

...I wonder what they would call the GH2? Unlike here, they could't call it the quarter-pounder with cheese.

 

[Jason Murphy]

For those of you concerned about the UK Epic being named after an American, just think of it as being named not for Steve McQueen the actor, but Steve McQueen the Turner Prize-winning artist and filmmaker. Problem solved.

 

[Peter Matthes]

It's McQueen

Sounds Irish. :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Anthony Rinaldi]

Bond has been my guess for their "major action movie" the whole time. I hope I'm right, because that would be an incredible combination of awesomeness

It'd be interesting to compare the EPIC to the Dalsa they used in the last film...

 

[Benoît-Joan Clariana-Roig]

Is it called Le Epic on France?

Nope. It's "La Epic" here, because a cinema camera is a female thing here. :arf:

 

[Uli Plank]

Of course a camera is a female thing, just like in German. Don't you hug yours from time to time ?

Even if Dziga was a man, we call ours "Die Wertow"…

 

[Bastien Tribalat]

Nope. It's "La Epic" here, because a cinema camera is a female thing here. :arf:

Yes, the video of Ted at Sundance which says in France "Le Scarlet Fix" is a bad translation. As Benoît said, a camera is a female thing in french so "LA Scarlet Fixed".
We know french is a bit of a pain to learn for strangers, as for us are asian languages (I think...).

 

[Gary Paul Walker]

Y'know, I woke up this morning and thought 'This country feels more Epic-y today'... and what do you know? We're playing host to an Epic.

Cue my 'stand-and-point-with-joy'!

 

[Detlev Eller]

I'm sure my buddies in Europe are trilled

You BET!

 

[Liam Hall]

What's French for irony bypass?

The same here! I really don't know what's up with english not specifying sex in define articles.

If I say my friend visited me, is it a woman or a man? It really makes no sense to me! hehehehe
