Caffeinated Clint: Glug, Glug Glug, and what about.....
By Clint Morris
Film delays. Had a few emails over the past week concerning Greg McLean’s new film “Rogue”. As you may have heard, the film – a giant killer crocodile movie – has been postponed. It was originally due for release in February, but for fairly logical reasons, its now being released later in the year. Now, to answer your questions…. No, it doesn’t suck. I was lucky enough to see the film last year and I can tell you that if it’s a fun little killer croc movie you want, that’s what you get. It hasn’t been delayed because it’s terrible, far from it. Here are the reasons, in my opinion, why the film has been delayed (rumour has it to August).
1. February is a dumping ground for movies. It’s a month when absolute shit comes out. To have been taken out of this month is a GOOD thing. August, as is rumoured to be the new month of release, is a much better month for movies.
2. There’s another giant crocodile movie in release at America at the moment. “Primeval” wasn’t supposed to be coming out for a few months, but the distributor moved it up to January. Obviously, “Rogue” doesn’t want to be associated with it – so they’ve been distanced themselves by pushing the film back.
3. The Weinstein’s are trying to convince Radha Mitchell to ditch the top for a couple of scenes.
Just a guess.
