The Dumb Are Mostly Intrigued By The Drum

Have to say, pretty cool poster. The film itself is quite a question mark as it has yet to get picked up officially by any film studio. The independently funded 2-part epic is a hard sell to movie studios mainly due to it's length (reported to be around 6 hours) and because it's predominantly in Spanish. Yup, so that means we may never see it theatrically. Another little tidbit, the film was shot entirely in digital using the über-cool Red camera. This comes from the homies over at Film School Rejects.

So Soderbergh & company are really having a hard time selling this film. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that even after a somewhat mixed showing at the Cannes Film Festival, no studio has stepped up to distribute. I hope that the film eventually sees the light of day but these days, everyone is cutting back I guess. Check it out while it lasts!

Update: A slightly better version has popped up at Yahoo! Check it out here if you must.
