[youtube id=LM1kr5ehjww] Trailer debut: September 7th 2017 Original release: November 24th 2017 New release: October 25th 2019 Difference: 701 days Between trailer and release: 779 days Reasons: As with Ballerina, this was among those originally set to be released by The Weinstein Comapny, but pulled off the schedule following Harvey Weinstein's abuse allegations. TWC under its new identity Lantern Entertainment agreed to sell distribution rights to 101 Films, leading to a US release at long last. Benefits: Harvey got what he deserved, and so did director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, but only in that his own cut of the film opened in the US instead of Weinstein's (although the butchered cut opened in the UK) and was critiqued as a moderate improvement over the other cut. Flaws: It was still nowhere near as financially successful as it might have been under a keener distributor.

SCREENING: Regular DATE: November 20th CINEMA: Curzon LOCATION: Soho NOTE: Mum was almost going to wait until it hit Prime, but upon discovering it starred not one but three of her favourite performers, and after having Driver’s performance in Marriage Story tempt her too much, she decided to stay, thus happily sitting through the Adam Driver double bill with me, in the same screen and the same seats.

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Movies according to my dreams list

A similar film by Damien Chazelle was the basis of my dream, following two white lovers travelling across the smaller towns of China, surrounded by a cast of exuberant cartoon characters. All is well, the music is bopping, that is until these toons start brutally murdering the humans to claim the world as theirs.

[youtube id=e82JHkkPw54] Trailer debut: July 15th 2019 Original release: February 14th 2020 New release: September 18th 2020 Difference: 217 days Between trailer and release: 432 days Reasons: To make way for the extensive reshoots taking place in November 2019, because Fox/Disney thought that after The Golden Circle, the Kingsman franchise would feel more comfortable in the September slot, and most obviously to avoid being overshadowed by Birds of Prey and Sonic. Benefits: With the increased hype for the Sonic movie following the redesign, it especially feels like a reasonable answer. In addition, a post-trailer delay from October to February (January in the UK) did not hurt the first Kingsman. Flaws: The film already had two trailers put out and edited by Disney and an epic-scale poster featuring the whole primary cast, suggesting that Fox and Disney agreed it was a done deal. This is an embarrassing landmark for the film industry, to delay a film halfway through its journey from marketing to release. Fox’s management isn’t any less farcical under Disney.
