Rush Release Dates
Marley and Me set to star Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston has been given a December 2008 release date. It worries me when studios do this. I understand wanting to keep the momentum of a film buzz afloat and get the product out there, but when things happen to cause a fall back in production time I don’t think the best thing to do is rush a release. Owen Wilson’s upcoming film Marley and Me was suppose to film start production in January but because of his incident this year it was pushed back. That caused his co-star to take on another film instead. Fox Pictures seems to not have budge on the December 2008 release date even given the fact that that filming will not begin until spring. That would give the studio a good 5-6 months until it’s release. I don’t know but I just see a potentially good family film being ruined by not even time. Ocean’s 12 runs through my mine. With that filming was finished summer of 2004 and released 5 months later in December. No matter how many times I have seen it the plot to this day makes no sense to me. That was of course rectified with Ocean’s 13 which was filmed summer of 2006 and not released until the following summer, June 8th, 2007 giving time for everything to be done right. Ocean’s 13 was far better than its predecessor and I understood the plot 
Here’s to hoping the script to this is as solid as the studio heads seem to think it is.
