Not really new but...

I got this Google alert today in my emails. If you get them too, you will see this eventually, but if you don't I thought I'd share.

It's nothing we haven't heard or seen before, but this is from the producer of Day Zero.

What's been most gratifying, in this age of disposable entertainment (when was the last time you chatted about a blockbuster beyond the ride home from the theater?) is how the audiences at our screenings let us know – by email, phone, blog posts, reviews, etc. – that Day Zero stayed with them.

No real spoilers in this post, but you can read the rest of the article here.

Yes, people are interested. Not just the Elijah fans. ;)

Day Zero is due for a small-scale theatrical release later this year

While I'm glad to see it will be released, it's a little disappointing to see they've set their sights on only a small scale release; it's such a good film it needs to be seen by everyone. It's sad that so many just plain bad/dumb/brainless movies seem to get better distrubution than this one. Hopefully though, if it does do well the producers can expand a bit.

I suspect they haven't set their sights on a small scale release in the way you are thinking (i.e. low expectations). They can't do a bigger release without selling it to somebody and it sounds to me like they are perhaps aiming high to have that small release (maybe too high). Hopefully they will get into a position where they can expand it as you say but I think I'm just so relieved that there's going to be a DVD (Paris Je T'aime hasn't come anywhere near me, so this won't even if it gets shown in the UK).

that always seems to be the case. still, whatever they are working on with distribution, i hope they are doing all they can and not stop short. i lobbied long and hard for GSH to be shown here and the theater was willing to show it, but the studio didn't seem to follow up. sad really.
