Don’t know yet. It’s still in post-production, so Ebert and his buddy haven’t seen it yet. Come to the premiere and vote on it for yourself. We’re looking for two thumbs up in categories like: Best Cheezy Martial Arts Comedy Flick, Best Underdog-Beats-The-Man Flick, etc. 😃 ---

An update. I was advised by the director today that we have had to reschedule the date to Thursday, January 25, 2007, due to circumstances beyond our control. ---

This is getting a little old, but there’s nothing we can do about it. \*\*\*\*\*\* UPDATE \*\*\*\*\*\* 12/17/2006 The director has announced that the premiere date of 01/25/2007 is going to slip because of post-production problems that have been encountered. He has indicated that a new date will not be set until he is absolutely positive that it is a date that will NOT slip again. Keep watching for updates. # Thanks for your patience, folks!
