Some Boys Just Put Up With Mandy Lane

.

Been meaning to post about the news on All the Boys Love Mandy Lane that's broken since my tirade last week, but... well, I've also been out of my mind, so it got delayed. But in case anyone's missed it, here's whats the haps via DH:

"The mystery of 'Mandy Lane' has been solved.

Senator Entertainment has picked up the US distribution rights to Occupant Films' horror feature "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" which was originally scheduled for a limited release this coming Friday.

The Weinstein Co. picked up worldwide rights at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, but in recent weeks it became clear the studio was essentially dumping it as no marketing material became available.

Inside sources claim there were big differences of opinion as to both the scale of the release and to its marketing. The recent failures of Weinstein's "Grindhouse" feature, and the downturn in horror flicks in general, only exacerbated the problem.

Now, Senator plans to release "Mandy Lane" on 1,000-plus screens in early 2008."

I know this surprises us all - the Weinsteins had their heads up their own asses? What? It can't be! I'm glad to hear ATBLML is being released, though, and it probably will have less of a chance of getting lost in the start of next year instead of being dumped in mid-July by a company that doesn't know what it's doing. Sucks that we have to wait but at least, if this pans out, it'll get some release-respect. Hooray for Harvey's butterfingers!
