    Hi, i have some unusual request...
    I really need to find english subs to film "The Interview" with Hugo Weaving. But the problem is that i can't find it anywhere. Looks like there are no any subs in internet at all to this film...

    My question is - can anybody give me a cue to the site, where someone can make english subs?

    thanks in advance

    Not sure what you're looking for, you want to make your own subs, or looking for a place/site where someone would make subs for you?

    find the subs in another language (people very very rarely bother to rip the subs in the language a film is made in) then you have the timecodes..

    sit and watch and edit the file..a media player (vlc is good) windowed showing the wrong subs.. and a copy of the subs file open in a text editor works for me (I made sense of en soap.. which had horrid english subs) then you have english subs with the right timecodes.

    I'm quite interested in the film.. I might download it myself to have a look at.. do you know where there are any bulgarian or whatever subs? I can't find any at all for this movie and I really don't fancy making the whole thing from scratch for free.. it takes a few hours at least and is tedious.

    If I'm feeling generous over the weekend and have time I will knock some together.. I have a couple of raw srt template files.. don't expect 100% perfection tho.. it looks like a very "wordy" film

    edit .. I will have the film in 12 mins.. tonights entertainment.. find me some odd language subs and we are good to go XD

    2:: .. I have them in Czech.. that will be fun to translate.. hehehehe.. should save me the trouble of timecoding them as well tho ;)

    If you found Czech subs on "podnapisi.net" - don't take it - it's fake. As i said, looks like there are no ANY subs for this film...
    i would do it for myself if i could but i can't

    And i don't need someone would make complete subs for me. I can do timecode for myself, but i need dialogues

    I got them from a reliable source.. and they are .srt .. and look very much like any other set of subs. Haven't watched the film with them yet to see if they tally up.

    excuse me but... You directly asked for somebody who WOULD make complete subs for you... and afaik you will have to PAY for a few hours of somebodys time for that kind of service anywhere else..

    odd.. you write good english.. is no screenplay/script available? I will have to sit through and type it all out.. it doesn't take long.. it's just tedious.

    i understand that making subs its tiresome work, but i don't have money to pay... my aural comprehension of english speech is not really good, and there are no screenplay/script
