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

[bassman]

I think "GAR" is better. I mean...you could be talking about THIS guy if you just say "Romero": I doubt people would think of Ceasar Romero if you say "Romero" on a site dedicated to GEORGE A. ROMERO. I sure don't think of Ceasar....And i'm a pretty big Batman fan...

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. *comic book guy voice on* Most elaborate April Fool's Joke EVER. *comic book guy voice off*

Opening around the same time as the first INDIANA JONES movie in nearly twenty years? Smart. Kinda like dropping LAND OF THE DEAD in the midst of WAR OF THE WORLDS and BATMAN BEGINS. At the very least, it gives them more time to promote the thing. Problem is, the Weinstein's haven't had a lot of luck with horror lately -- can DIARY possibly open larger than THE MIST, which tanked violently.

Well fortunately that May 20th was a load of wank, it's still as it was, February or whatever you Americans are getting it, and us Brits get it like March 7th - woo-woo! We're not last this time around!

One thing that might help get people in when Diary comes out is the writer strike. There won't be as much big stuff coming out, I would assume anyway.

One thing that might help get people in when Diary comes out is the writer strike. There won't be as much big stuff coming out, I would assume anyway. The writer's strike hasn't really had an impact on the movie industry ... yet ... although there's talk that the strike isn't far from resolution, or they're near a place where resolution can begin...anyway...there's still plenty of movies to come that were written before the strike. There might be a hiccup in several months, but by then the strike will have been resolved most likely. Also, there was a suggestion that if the American film industry started to run out of films, they'd go sniffing more seriously in foreign markets - Britain, for example. But, as far as I know, the strikes hasn't affected any movies coming out now or in the next several months.

Is this the official release date? I thought it was going to be out in February. What happened???

According to another post this date has been debunked. However with less than 2 weeks away I have yet to see any advertising or an official website for this film.

Maybe they're waiting till the last minute, have a barrage and then people can immediately see the film, perhaps they think that the masses would be more impulsive with this film, rather than "ooh, that's coming in 6 weeks" or whatever. Also, this May 20th stuff was debunked like a couple of weeks ago now.

i just took a stroll through a bunch of movie websites after search "diary-dead-release-date" feb is still the date listed but they are almost all saying it is going to be a limited release (don't know how limited) which is probably the reason that we are not seeing/hearing any sort of adverts for this. anyone in one of the really big cities (LA, NY, chicago) heared about this opening in a limited fashion? PJoseph are you are out there? we need our inside LA source. the only other thing that can be said about the confusion brewing over the release of this is film is:

Diary is NOT being released on May 20th, it's STILL being released in February - or March for us Brits. Where's that other thread when you need it?

http://forum.homepageofthedead.com/s...referrerid=286 MZ is this the thread you were referring to? Perzactly, hence why I changed the titles of the posts in question to address the confusion.
