NEW RELEASE DATE: JULY 26

Don't go lining up at your local retailer for some sort of midnight release party Monday evening, because it ain't gonna happen. That's right folks: there has been a DELAY.

We just received word from Film Threat that there was a problem at the DVD replication facility, and the short version is that the discs just won't be ready by Tuesday. They'll probably be ready in time for the following Tuesday, but they've pushed the release back two weeks just to be safe.

So July 26th it is. Oh well. At least it's still a July release. I had planned to post a little something about how we were set to come out on the same day as last year's Oscar-winner for Best Picture, and how perhaps that was good luck for our film. I haven't even looked yet to see what else comes out on the 26th....

The Columbia Daily Tribune has an article about the DVD. And Joe Williams, critic for the Post-Dispatch, ran a nice capsule review in his round-up of new releases:

Living in Missouri *** (NR: 1:30): Directed by Shaun Peterson, a 1993 Wentzville High grad, this bittersweet comedy stars writer and co-producer Connor Ratliff as an unhappy dad in mid-Missouri who neglects his wife (Christina Puzzo) to go to movies with sad-sack pal (Ian McConnel). Like a Jefferson City "Jules and Jim" (another love triangle new on DVD), it turns a friendship between perpetual adolescents into a bittersweet parable about growing up.
