I receive the release schedules each distributor puts out. They often go 2 to three years ahead but are usually only accurate for the next few months. Today I got the one for Alliance Films, a Canadian company that distributes for some American distribs as well as Canadian product.
There's some interesting looking stuff coming out. Of course these lists are very subject to change and sometimes aren't right on purpose. Paramount's mystery monster movie that had a short trailer run in front of Transformers doesn't show up on it's release schedule.
No Country For Old Men the newest film from the Coen Brothers which is getting rave reviews and doing huge business in the few theatres it's playing in goes wide on Nov 23rd which means it will probably play in London. I'll be there.
They are distributing a film called Mad Money about three women ( Keaton, Queen Latifah,Katie Holmes, ) who plot to steal the money being taken out of circulation at a bank. It looks funny and open Jan 18th.
Be Kind Rewind- this comedy with Jack Black and Mos Def looks really funny and opens Jan 25.
Some movie called Superhero! starring Leslie Neilsen opens on March 28th. I'm assuming it's one of those parody movies. Let's hope it more like Naked Gun than Scary Movie 4.
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay- the title says it all. I'll be there Apr 25th.
Sex and The City opens may 30th.
Sometimes you get the generic titles:
Untitled Ice Cube Family Comedy opens Jul 25th. Do you think he's getting typecast?
A film called Scanners is being released on Oct 17th 2008. Given that it's being directed by the guy who did the Blade films and is coming out around Halloween the odds are good it's a horror film and may be a remake of the Canadian film from 1981 directed by David Cronenberg.
The guy who did Supersize Me, the documentary about eating only McDonalds for a month is releasing a documentary called "Where is Osama" sometime in 2008. That could get interesting.
Something called El Superbeasto is being released at a date TBD. It's called an 'adult animation' and being directed by Rob Zombie who did the recent remake of Halloween. It sounds like another film I'll have to turn people away at the theatre who automatically assume animation = kids.
Looks there are some things for movie buffs and theatre runners like me to look forward to.

I just read an article in the news about a film called Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home. The website can be found here: http://www.garbagerevolution.com/
I think it would be interesting for the film to be shown somewhere on campus, even if it's not necessarily at Western Film.
Hope that you will consider playing August Rush and PS I Love You when they come available.
The movie about garbage sounds like a film that would only be only on video so wouldn't be able to play at Western Film. I'll let Student Life know they may want to play it as a special event when it's available here.
At this point I plan to play both August Rush and PS I love You. I haven't heard much about P.S. so if it turns out to suck it may not play here.
