ALIEN VS PREDATOR: More Bad News By Charley, (DT) August 6, 2004 1:04 PM PT |
|
The final cut of "Alien vs Predator" is still not finished, despite the film's scheduled release date of August 13th--one week from today--according to IESB. ?This latest news does not bode well for what already seems to be a lackluster production. ?Can they rush edit a PG-13 action-horror movie with no starpower, no press junkets, no world premiere, and still make it profitable? According to the article, the editors "are not confident that it will be done by opening day. To make things worse 20th Century Fox has had to cancel the Junket for the film because they know that the print will not be ready in time. Junkets are normally held 1 to 2 weeks prior of the release date so the journalists can see the film and interview the talent involved and finally review the film. Even the films Red Carpet World Premiere that was going to be held at the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood on August 10th has been cancelled due to the same problem." At this point it seems like the film can't win. ?Will they push back the release or rush it through editing? ?If they push it back, will they put it up against "Exorcist: The Beginning," or between "Exorcist" and "Resident Evil: Apocalypse"? ?Or will they save it until Halloween or Christmas? Only time will tell, but whatever happens, it does not look good. |
