movIe musical release dates

ok, why is it that Nine is taking until next december to release... and Fame, which hasnt even STARTED filming has an earlier release date.. i mean, i know there are editing reasons and such, but is Nine THAT much more complicated to film?? or are they waiting for a holiday season?

oh, so fame is a tv remake??

well thats lame...

well that solves it! thanks!

Deadline for Oscar consideration is late December which is why most major motion pictures premiere after Thanksgiving and thru the month of December.

Past Oscar winning movie musicals: DREAMGIRLS and CHICAGO were released in late December.

Fame is not a TV movie

---

Fame started life as a gritty oscar winning movie, then became a camp TV series which ran for 7 seasons (though it was axed mid way through season 2 in the states it played to huge numbers around the rest of the world), then it was turned in to an even camper musical which has enjoyed mass success around the world (it played in the West End for 10 years)

The new Fame is a 're imagining' of the original film, it will probably be less adult than the original film

The film is not going straight to TV as its a pretty big studio film and has a theatrical release date in sept next year
