Diary pushed back til May 20th? [NOW DEBUNKED]

[Legion2213]

This sucks donkey cock! A few days ago, some kind soul is posting a sweet teaser trailer and we are all getting stoked for this movie, and a few days later we are told that we will have to wait around 9 months (at least) for a film that is already made.

Yup, bad positioning.

It's not confirmed how long us Brits will have to wait, I'm just pontificating that it'll be September/October because that was when we got Land of the Dead - second last friggin' country in the whole friggin' world...if not last, can't remember. The only countries we got the film before, had banned it! Maybe we'll get it at the same time, but it's doubtful, and with May 20th being the US release date, it's unlikely that UK distribution would be until late August at the earliest, because of the blockbuster season. February/March would have been a good time to release it, not friggin' May 20th.

It's official??

It's official?? No, not yet. BUT it is sort of the truth. Actually May 20th is the date when it's shown at The Sundance Film Festival, so it could be even longer till we get a full theatrical run. Bollocks isn't it?

Ah geez, so it's not even the proper theatrical release, just Sundance...geeeez...crazy information on t'internet of late eh?

Funny thing is, everywhere I look, the European dates haven't changed. Yet. Fingers crossed, chaps.

Dawn was released in the summer when it came out in 79 and it was a huge hit and movies like star wars and the like were floating around if its good then horror fans will go see it if its just ok then romero fans will go see it either way it will turn a profit im sure with dawn nobody cared about it being a romero film it was just a kick ass horror film and everyone went to see it in fact very few people even knew it was a romero film or who he was i still call him romero not GAR, its the old school way of refering to him

Dawn was released in the summer when it came out in 79 and it was a huge hit and movies like star wars and the like were floating around The business isn't the same as it was in the late 70s when there were independent cinemas and drive-ins. Anybody with a small movie had a shot at a big-screen release. Plus, many low budget films saw additional runs as the lower half of a double feature, particularly at the drive-ins. Now the bean counters have a completely different way of calculating what is a "hit" and what is a "flop." Everyone here simply wants the film to be given a fair shake. With every new film being over-hyped, I think the element of surprise and working under the radar will work to Diary's benefit. So the longer it's delayed from being released, the less the element of surprise. I agree with you that "Romero" says it all.

I mean...you could be talking about THIS guy if you just say "Romero":

I've been seeing posts about this so-called movie for what seems like a year. I'm starting to think it doesn't exist; it's just a hoax.
