I won't disagree with that.

Is there not a U.S. release date yet? I've read some articles saying there isn't, but others saying it might be sometime around Thanksgiving, which is right when MJ comes out as well…

There is as yet, no US release date.

It's unclear as to why, but I wouldn't be surprised if one was forthcoming. The reaction coming out of BFI might be a decider.

It's really hard to say right at the moment, to be honest....

That's so odd that there isn't one yet. You'd think Jen and Bradley's names alone would have some pull...

The entertainment press certainly think so. They've been eager to report on the trailer release.

There are any amount of theories, but at the moment we really don't know what the story is...

Hopefully we'll find out soon. I hope it's not because the movie is bad…

I mean she is already the youngest actress to ever have three nominations. That's incredible. There's no rush for a fourth.
Yeah she can wait the 4th being for Joy (no thread about this movie yet by the way or have I missed it ?) ... especially knowing Joy has David O'Russell as director (DOR being her awards noms director for two of her three noms ...)

On it...!

I'm a little worried about Joy though. There was a weird push back against American Hustle, that I hope won't transfer onto David's next movie as can happen sometimes. I'm probably being paranoid though, the Academy seem eager to get David's name on a statue, and he's a great filmmaker, so unless the movie just doesn't work (which seems ridiculously unlikely) it's probably safe to assume that we'll see both he and Jennifer in the running come 2016.

Yeah, I just find it difficult to believe that Susanne Bier has made a movie so bad that it can't secure a release. I find it even more difficult to believe after seeing the trailer, which is full of lush photography, intense drama, and strong performances.

Bier has said that the long post-production was largely due to issues with her actor's schedules (they were needed for ADR etc...), and the folks at Studio Canal have stated that Susanne's perfectionism (which has been long documented to be fair) drew things out a lot longer than might be the norm.

As to why a US release seems up in the air; the subject matter and the tone, the bleakness of the whole thing, and the reported languorous pacing might be a turn off to US distributors. I always thought it would be a tough sell, but then surely Jen and Brad would offset that enough to make it worth a punt. Maybe then it's simply a case that they didn't want to commit to it until it was finished, which it has only been for a little over a month now.

Again, I can't see how it could be bad. The director, the stars, the source material. It just doesn't scan. It's possibly not brilliant, but I can't see it not being decent. Certainly it has to be good enough to sell a few tickets, and make a few dollars.

But then maybe it's just one of those lost films. Everyone seems to have one (sometimes more than one), that perfectly good flick that for one reason or another just became a victim of circumstance.

I suppose we'll have to wait and see...

It is certainly encouraging. The entertainment press in the US seem very eager to give it a push. Studio Canal can't be blind to that surely...
