It is getting to the point where I wonder if ANYTHING will be released this fall and winter season. First Harry Potter gets pushed back to summer 2009 and Rocknrolla might not come out in October, and then Gerrard Butler starrer Game gets bumped out too!
Producer Gary Lucchesi told SciFi Wire that Game has been pushed back to the increasingly crowded summer of 2009.
Game is a futuristic thriller directed by the insane duo of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, and stars the ever-so-lovely Gerard Butler. While he’s reason enough to see it, it’s also the kind of frantic, maniacal movie making we’ve come to expect from Neveldine and Taylor. We were treated to some footage at ComicCon, and it was a hell of a lot of fun.
I wonder about these moves and try to figure out what the Hollywood Machine is thinking with this. I mean this summer has been DOMINATED by superhero flicks and next year promises to be much the same, so why take an already crowded summer movie season and drop even MORE films in it. Especially when those films are already slated for earlier release.
John has had Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor on Uncut a couple times and these guys seem to be all about this movie. Even John got a sneak peak at it and can’t wait to see it all come down.
So is this it. Some select movies moving into the dorm of 2009? Or does everyone want their movie out next summer instead?
This is one reason why many people just download movies. When a thrillion-and-one movies all come out in the same season, there’s only so much money you can spend. So people start picking and choosing what they’ll see in the theaters and what they will rent/download and watch later.
Studios are only hurting themselves when they push back movies for more profit.
If news comes out that Bond22 is being pushed to 2009 then I will be pissed!
What movies should I get excited over this fall and winter??
this is like the worst news ever. more and more movies ive been looking forward to watch keep getting pushed. i think its a wrong move not only because of the fans but because it makes me feel like the reason for these push backs is that the movies that are being made arnt that great, its almost as if theyre realizing theyve made many mistakes that must be fixed
