Chris Marquette Message Board

IKR there's nothing worse than having to wait a week, especially when they do carry over a storyline or have a 2-parter.

BTW before the 3 hours of CM they do 2-3 hours in a row of Without a Trace. And on Friday nights they have a 5-episode WAT marathon from 7-12.

I have both originals but I don't know how to attach it here. I can upload them to ImageShack. hang on.

Yes, he's disabled the messaging option on Facebook.

Skip this if you know this -- if not, this may be useful. As far as Twitter goes, you can only send someone a DM if THEY are following YOU. Otherwise it won't go through. As you said, you can @ him in a message and he will see it. He does reply to @ tweets which means he is definitely seeing them. So that's as good as a DM as you can get at the moment.

What you can do (and I don't know if he will do it, but it's worth a try) is to send him an @ tweet asking him to add you, then you can DM him. I've done that (and had it done to me) many times. But that requires him to add you, of course, and I don't know where his head is on that.

He does have a contact email:

The screening schedule for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival has just been announced.

There will be 5 screenings of HIGH school: Sunday 1/24 at 11:30 PM, Monday 1/25 at 9:00 PM (Salt Lake City), Tuesday 1/26 at 11:59 PM, Thursday 1/28 at 2:15 PM, and Saturday 1/30 at 11:45 PM.

SCHEDULE

BTW the festival always pays the way and puts up the filmmakers and stars -- that's basically what the sponsor money is for. Of course, they decide who is included and if it's a large cast not everyone will be flown in. In the case of someone not being on the list they do, of course, have the option of paying their own way.

I don't know how big his role is or if he is considered one of the major stars of the film. If he is, they will pay his way. If not, they won't.

Also, the filmmakers are only allowed 10 tickets per screening. Very often the cast members cannot get tickets for themselves, at least for the first screenings.

BTW2 the still on the official festival page for the film features Sean and Matt Bush:

FILM PAGE

Luke and I talked it over and he decided that to satisfy all the parties concerned and lessen the confusion that may be generated, it should be referred to as:

"Choose Connor" (aka "The Politician")

or

Choose Connor (aka The Politician) when italics are substituted for quotes.

That's correct. The July release date was actually pulled on May 7 and changed to "TBD". On May 14 it was taken off the schedule completely. What happened this week is that the company division putting it out ceased to exist.

It would take too much space here to list all the various milestones but, as TeeJay pointed out, it has been released outside the US both theatrically as well as on DVD at various times over the past couple of years.

The film is available on DVD outside Region 1 (North America). If it can be obtained it can be played in Region 1 on an all-region DVD player, on a computer with software that is region-free or, in many cases, a computer will allow you to play a DVD from other regions by switching the region code on the DVD player in the computer. Usually you can only switch regions a few times, however.   

It may be released theatrically in Canada. That company does not have DVD rights but if they are able to obtain them and release it in Canada on DVD, that would be Region 1 which would allow anyone in North America to play it. You'd just have to get it from a Canadian retailer. That's not hard to do. Usually you can get DVDs released in Canada from places like Amazon.

There are a lot of "ifs" here.

Of course there are still other ways of putting it out. For example, many films that go unreleased theatrically make their way to VOD (Video On Demand on cable TV). IFC does this. Other films are distributed online (legally).

I won't discuss illegal ways of obtaining films.

All that said, for people who still want the film to come out in theaters in the US, that can only happen if another company buys it and puts it out, as TeeJay said. They would only do that if they thought they could make the money back.

Lionsgate buys genre films (horror) and exhibits them theatrically in a package (8 Films to Die For). This makes it easier for them to make money since they aren't marketing just one film. A theater will show all 8 films for a limited period of time, so they don't have a long-term commitment. A lot of small horror films have been acquired that way. Then they put it out on DVD both in a package of 8 films as well as individually.

Those are a few ways it might still be obtained now and in the future.

And how ironic that they bought the film from Weinstein, who are now on the verge of shutting down themselves.

That's the big question.

It gets complicated because some of the films were produced by others or in alliances with others who are contracted to throw in some or all of the P&A money (marketing), in which case it wouldn't cost Senator much to release them.

In other cases other companies paid some money upfront for marketing but now won't come up with the rest unless Senator puts some in.

But in other cases Senator has to spend all the money, and those are the films they cannot release at all without outside help.

Earlier in the week they said they could release some of the smaller films that don't require much P&A but that was before they shut down the distribution arm.
