From SciFi:
Paramount Pictures announced that it will delay the release of its upcoming SF movie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow to Sept. 17 from June 25. It's the second time the live-action/computer-animated movie has been bumped; it was originally slated for release on June 11.
A spokeswoman for Paramount told SCI FI Wire that the movie is being moved to the fall because "the summer play time is insane, and this great movie deserves a better date." The spokeswoman added that a fall date allows for promotion at the upcoming International Comic-Con in San Diego in July and elsewhere.
Another reason for the delay could have to do with the extensive post-production on the movie, which features live actors Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie in a computer-animated world of flying robots and 1930s New York. The movie features about 2,000 visual-effects shots, compared with about 1,500 for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
* I was really looking forward to this movie.... :mad:
