ferm_n_fern_ndez Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Hello everybody. This forum has so many good threads from people like Kornelius J. Fleischer, Daniel Taylor, Peter Walker, Per Nordlund,... that I must apologize for this "stupid question". I'd like to make a list of characters who use a Hasselblad camera in a movie, e.g. Viggo Mortensen in "A perfect murder" (with Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow).

struan_gray Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 If only for the sake of humility you should include Mike Leigh's "Secrets and Lies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey_abelson Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I'm pretty sure that VIRGINIE LEDOYEN used one to shoot the night sky in "The Beach" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferm_n_fern_ndez Posted March 26, 2002 Author Share Posted March 26, 2002 Thank you, boys. This is much more than I expected. Jeffrey, you are completely right. After reading your post, I looked for Virginie's Official Web Site and there it is. What a beauty! (the camera, I mean). http://virginie.ledoyen.free.fr/be4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_drew4 Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Let's add Tim Dalton as "James Bond" in "Living Daylights". Q made a personal I.D. sniper rifle as a Hasselblad - with film back as a cartridge holder for James' mission. Nifty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_drew4 Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 ooops! Not "Living Daylights" but in "License to Kill". It's not easy keeping all those gadgets inventoried in my head! No wonder "Q" is always pissed at James for losing stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vernon_fitzgerald Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 The scene from "BEACHES" with Leonardo Decaprio. When Leo, and the girl get ready to swim across the channel to the "forbidden island". The night before they had a Hassy, the girl was taking photos of the night sky. But, you never see it again through-out the movie. Only a disposible camera that was bought while getting supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob F. Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 There was a movie about some guys who got lost or left behind or something, in a wilderness, and spent most of the movie slogging around in circles trying to get back. I can't remember the name of it. It had Bart the Bear in it. Don't miss this picture, if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferm_n_fern_ndez Posted March 27, 2002 Author Share Posted March 27, 2002 May be you are talking about "The edge", whith Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin and Elle Macpherson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_eban Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I think you will find it is a Bronica in Secrets and Lies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struan_gray Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Exactly. There's one point where the down-on-his-luck former ower of the photo studio says to our main character "I would have thought you could afford a Hasselblad by now", to which the response is " I can."

peter walker Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I dont know if this one counts because, in this movie, it was not a complete Hasselblad. In the comedy movie, "Galaxy Quest" (Star Trek spoof), Tim Allen has this electronic device for searching for an energy source that they need to repair the ship. The device has a flip up viewfinder. I am sure that it is a Hasselblad waist-level viewfinder. Probably some props person, put some things together and added the Hasselblad viewfinder to make it look more real.

montague_withnail Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Fun question, by the way, not "stupid"... Mike Meyers as Austin Powers in The Spy Who Shagged Me (the sequel). The fashion shoot scene. Also, not a movie, but a very famous one in pop culture is Elvis Costello on the cover of This Year's Model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted_ylauan Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 In the Anthony Hopkins movie "Hearts In Atlantis" Bobby Garfield, the character played by actor David Morse is a photographer and uses a Hasselblad mounted on a tripod on the opening scene.

david_goldfarb Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I haven't seen _Austin Powers_, but according to this post, he was using a Bronica S2A: http://people.smu.edu/rmonagha/bronnotes.html#austin I mean, a Hassy might be fine for James Bond, but it doesn't have the mod lines of a 70s Bronica.

ferm_n_fern_ndez Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 It seems that we have come to an end (by now). Thanks to all of you, wonderful people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_kline1 Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 The original 'Triton' Hasselblad underwater housing was used in '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Recall the scene where a photograph is being taken of astronauts in front of the monolith on the lunar surface. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_hine Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Saw the previews for a french film "Facing" it appears that there is a Blad (possibly 500ELM with a 500CT lens)which is quite central to the plot. Here is the snip from the SBS tv Guide THRILLER: FACING (EN FACE) � A young couple, who inherit a house in Paris�s Montmartre district, are obliged to keep on the sinister housekeeper Clémence. Directed by Mathias Ledoux, and starring Jean-Hugues Anglade, Clotilde Courau and Christine Boisson. (In French, English subtitles). (2000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia is a photographer (use also Hasselblad). Susan discover that have a cancer. Julia and Susan are enemies but then become friends. I don't know the original name of the film, the italian title is "nemiche amiche". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegobuono Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 someone have answered me that the above mentioned film was STEPMOM. I have received the answer by e-mail but the answer is not visible in this web page. Also my question about difference between 500 C/M, 501 C and 501 C/M is not visible but I have received the answer, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferm_n_fern_ndez Posted April 21, 2002 Author Share Posted April 21, 2002 I think that in "Backbeat" (the movie about the early days of the Beatles before they became famous) Sheryl Lee, as the photographer Astrid Kirchherr uses a Hasselblad in the scene where Ian Hart, as John Lennon, is mooning her. I'm not quite sure, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
