Judy Davies should be ashamed of herself iv heard the story about how she treated river like shit on the bottom of her shoe. people blame johnny depp and red hot chill peppers flea.but come on everyone let river down everyone had there part to play.

The most gorgeous ethereal looking man to ever hit the planet. He always looked so miserable and tortured, I don't ever think I saw a pic of him smiling. He died when I was 15 and no man in Hollywood will ever hold a candle to him. Rest in peace beautiful hopefully in you're next life you will be happy ❤

THIS INFO IS WRONG! Watch "The Final 24 River Phoenix" documentary. In it the producer laments over how the night he died was the same day he shot his final scene, after 4 months of production.

Judy Davis treated River Phoenix horribly she should be embarrassed and ashamed

Correction to this trailer and all reactions. The Utah shoot (dessert scene's) took 6 weeks in total. River and George arrived one week previous to the shooting, to get to know eachother better. After the Utah shoot, the production moved back to L.A, for a final 8 days of interior studio shootings. After the first day it was Holloween weekend. River died in the night after the first day of L.A. studio shooting. The last shot is in the film. Sincerely, Harold Jalving. (Sound designer Dark Blood and director of Never Give Uo)

Rest in Peace River

Just put the damn thing on Netflix

2 weeks into shooting... NO NO NO.. Two weeks left to shoot in L.A.. The movie was pretty much complete albeit a few scenes.

I donated to the cinecrowd funding back in late 2012 I guess. And I received the Dark Blood DVD in March/April 2013. I got the postcard inside, the DVD and also I received the 35mm film laments, I'm from Sydney, Australia and I donated $65 Australian dollars, which at the time, was something around $58 Euros. So yeah. I wished that they had a Special Features/Behind The Scenes, deleted scenes section on the DVD. I know some scenes that they did omitted from the film, that were actually shot in the Utah and New Mexico desert. As George Sluizer was doing a Q and A at one of the film festivals, and he talked about a scene he removed because it didn't fit the new edited version of the movie. It was a scene where Rivers character "Boy" and "Buffy" are both looking at the Stars through the scope, and Rivers Character Boy says this speech about the stars are of the dead or something like that. And another scene was that of the stories he shares about his great grandmother and grandfather. And the last scene River filmed, is not actually in the film. They filmed 2 scenes on that final day of shooting in LA, the last scene was when Boy and Buffy are in the cave and Harry has gone, and Boy talks about wanting to start a family etc, that's part of the missing scene that Harold Jalving ls also talking about. When they talk about the silloutte of River, that was after the scene was finished. But the footage of a few scenes are missing somewhere currently at the moment. Peace and thankyou to anyone who takes the time to read this comment. Thankyou. From Tom.

That was one handsome man.

Dark Blood consisted of roughly five weeks of on location shooting in Torrey, Utah and was scheduled to complete three weeks of filming interior scenes in Los Angeles, California on a sound stage. Parts of the film were also shot in Gallup, New Mexico.[2] There is a scene shot at Mesa Verde National Park in Montezuma County, Colorado. Filming was only 80% finished before Phoenix's death on October 31, 1993. Production halted while insurers and financiers tried to determine if the movie could be completed, but with important scenes still needing to be shot, the film was abandoned on November 18 of that same year.[3] For the 2012 release, roughly four to six missing scenes were replaced with Sluizer providing narration. It was revealed in October 2011 that director George Sluizer had held onto the footage, fearing it would be destroyed, and that he had reedited the material and believed that with some adjustments a completed film could be released in 2012.[4] In 1999 the insurance company that owned the negatives wanted to stop paying storage costs, so they considered having the film destroyed. Sluizer entered the storage area that held the negative and removed it.[5] It was speculated that Sluizer would ask Phoenix's younger brother Joaquin Phoenix to dub River's voice. The Phoenix family made it clear that they would not participate in the project, saying in a statement, "In regard to releasing River's last film, Joaquin Phoenix and his family have not been in communication with the director nor will they participate in any way.

It was too released. Took a long time, but it finally was.

I was confused. How could you put together a complete movie with only two weeks of footage??? Then I realized the info here isn't correct. The following info is correct: Five weeks of on-location shooting meant 80% of the film was shot. Three weeks of filming interior scenes in an L.A. sound stage were still scheduled to be completed. For the 2012 release, roughly four to six missing scenes were replaced with Sluizer providing narration. Thanks Wikipedia!

Okay, I looked this up on IMDB, and it says this movie came out in 2012, and River Phoenix died in 1993. Did it really take THAT long for it to come out?

That's a sad story I wished he lived what a great star ❤️

Insurance companies are flat out jokes. They get free money just in case shit happens. Hate em all.

If he'd been off his tits on heroin or whatever from day one, then obviously anyone would have taken exception to that, like when Corey Feldman was nearly sacked from The Lost Boys because he turned up to the set high on cannabis and other drugs. However, in an interview, George Sluizer singled out a particular day - the last day of shooting, in fact - when he was clearly on something, describing him as being unfocused, struggling to judge distances, also taking nearly an hour in the makeup chair when normally he would have taken just 20 minutes. Some people try to defend Judy Davis by saying she was a "professional actress who had no time for dealing with a drug addict". I honestly think she pushed him into relapse with her relentless campaign of bullying against him. There's a difference between setting someone straight for unprofessional behaviour and being a bully - and it sounds to me like Davis was definitely a bully, and the least professional member of the cast because of that. Conversely, Gus Van Sant gave him a right bollocking after a particular scene in My Own Private Idaho for an ill-judged comment he made to Keanu Reeves, but it seems he got over that all right. Here, Judy Davis just bullied him mercilessly right from the off. If they had cast a different actress - my choice would have been Alison Steadman - in this film instead of Davis, events would likely have unfolded very differently.

How handsome is he when he opens the door

Besides the info in this video being wrong (River passed on the last day of shooting) and besides the fact that your touch Link above to help save and release the movie....Doesn’t apparently work...o would like to pint out the most important thing to this movie- the costar Judy Davis was mentioned to be The Worst actor in history that the director EVER had to work with and on top of that she was Beyond Awful to River and he was really seriously suffering having to keep working with her. SHE is in Many peoples opinion- one of The Main reasons River died. He was so relieved on top of being a very sensitive person and she’s an ugly hated vile pig that treated him like a loser POS. That b***h deserves hell at least on earth but I’m seriously doubting she has any conscience or any feel to blame. Don’t believe me? Look it up. You’ll find it eventually. (It might be covered up a bit) Anyway, Peace&Love ✌🏼 ❤️

This is what happens over time, people get all the facts messed up. Try to just remember the important things or at least what's important to you, it's impossible for some people to just do that.

Whatever ppl that u think what important I think not I though it was stupid of the company sueing the family for river not finishing the damn movie that so stupid no one predicted that he passed away

my baby

How is it that River has short hair in this movie, but long hair when he dies???

This girl is annoying and misinformed.

When an insurance company insures an actor they sign a clause that includes they will not take illegal substances which River did do so he broke the agreement and the insurance company had every right to sue.

They were able to finish it and released the film in 2012 entitled Black or Dark Blood😊

WOOOOOUU!💝🎈

How could the insurance company sue the family over breech of contract??? River was an adult well over 18 and responsible for his own actions. None of the other family members signed anything. I believe that statement is bull shit and false!!!

So handsome

The still at .22 is interesting. If that is River. He has long hair there.

Why is this woman yapping? Roll the tape

It's a shitty movie, you can download it off torrent a screener

He looks terrible in this film. Strung out. RIP
