Marco y el director de la película hablan antes de la premiere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSRccuE3El0&Marco: Hi. Usually when I'm on stage I do things spontaneously and say whatever comes into my mind. But this morning when I was chosen for this task to introduce the movie, I sat down and I was thinking if I should say something that makes sense... That is hard for me but try to cope with that.(applauses)
So this movie you're about to see looks like the people who made it. Nightwish IS nowadays at times a "collective state of will"... and it breaks the reality in a childish way by its own visions and some kind of role games, too. And actually we are children. We play with those dark fantasies. Sometimes there might be a silver line... and just like children we may sometimes come out with unexpected insights of reality... or even of such a bizarre thing as wisdom as somebody has said...I didn't say that, you can decide. And now for the first time we have had the opportunity to paint this soul image to a really big canvas (looks at the screen, applauses). Of course those who have been painting most and with the biggest paintbrushes are Tuomas Holopainen (applauses) and Stobe Harju right here next to me, who is now experiencing the most shocking moments of his life. (applauses)
Stobe tries to start his speech.
Marco: Wait...
Stobe: You still have something?
Marco: Yes I have. (laughs). You see, I haven't said any thank yous. I suppose I should do it? So I could thank so many people, such as producers, make-up artists, cooks, camera men, whatever, the list is endless. But...well yeah I thank them because this movie has required an absurd amount of work, hard work and faith that the movie will be finished. But still, the biggest thank you is once again for you people. Everyone of you in here. (applauses) Because you have once again believed and waited for the huge dreams of those country boys... time after time.(applauses) In other words, I sincerely hope that you had great time during the show and I hope this night will go on like that. (applauses)
Stobe: I try to keep this short. There is terribly many of you, I have never been in front of this many people. Let me enjoy this for a while. (applauses) Thank you, that was awesome. Well, umm... I could actually play some lottery tonight just because this week...I'LL DO IT!... I've got a wonderful baby this week and it is not this movie. (applauses) (Marco says something but I can't hear what) A baby boy is waiting for me in the hospital and I want to send greetings to my wife and son. (applauses)
But to the point...Unfortunately the other paintbrusher Tuomas Holopainen is not here tonight... Or yes he has been here, but those who know him know also that he is even more shy than I am.
Marco: So guess why I am here?
Stobe: Okey, let's keep this short. So I want to thank some people, that is really important because... Tuomas and I started planning this movie 4½ years ago. It began from Tuomas' ideas to make 13 music videos and the final result grew to something totally different. But without certain people this movie wouldn't exist. First of all, Nightwish. (applauses) After that, the reason and the merit why you all are here tonight goes for Solar Films, especially Markus Selin and Jukka Helle who have made an unbelievable production, thank you. And if I change to English for a while, because we have here some foreign guests. (speaks in English for a while) So thank you these people because you made this movie, not just our small group but YOU. So enjoy, but remember to go to movie theaters if you want to have an unprecedented sound experience, because hey, there's only 10 000 of you here tonight. Yeah, really! Remember to go to movie theaters because tonight you won't be experiencing 7.1 or 5.1 sound, so enjoy what we have tonight. Here you go, Imaginaerum.
