Money Never Sleeps........And Release Dates Always Change

If you had told me a year ago that I'd be salivating to see Oliver "I've always been mad but now it's affecting my work" Stone's latest film 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' then I'd probably giggle.  I love the original film but this definitely ranks high on the list of sequels we never asked for.  Then the trailers hit and I was very impressed, both by the film's (apparent) good dialogue and humour.  I was gearing myself up from an awesome April at the movies with this, 'Clash of the Titans' and 'Kick Ass'.

I don't know if those particular films had anything do with this but 20th Century Fox has decided the season is way too crowded for their little movie and pushed the release date of the film back to September (otherwise known as 'the dead zone').  I found out about the news from my movie bible 'Empire' right here.

Knowing him as I do, my partner in crime Jamie Williams probably has theories that the film is no good, the studio knows it, and is moving the film far away from any competition.  I'd like to think that is not the case but with Oliver Stone, anything is possible.  I guess I'll let you know if it was worth the extra wait.

To be honest, I think September is probably a better time of the year to release a film like this. Late summer/early winter seems to be a more appropriate time to release adult orientated films.
