Fierce People, 3:10 to Yuma NEW RELEASE DATES

Fierce People, directed by Griffin Dunne and starring Diane Lane, Anton Yelchin, Kristen Stewart, and Donald Sutherland, was shot in the spring of 2004 and had its world premiere at Tribeca in 2005. It played several festivals that year. Release seemed imminent, then it disappeared. Poof. Vanished. Then I attended a screening of Fierce People at the 2006 Woodstock Film Festival and posted my review.

Afterward, information circulated that Lionsgate would finally be releasing the film in February 2007. No confirmation followed. Finally, Variety, Box Office Mojo, comingsoon.net, and other sites began posting a date of July 20 for an exclusive NY/LA release with an expansion to follow on August 3, which we reported several months ago.

Now we get word that the forthcoming release has (again) been postponed. The new date for the NY/LA release is September 7, with an expansion to the top 10 markets on September 14.

Ironically, another film we've been following, 3:10 to Yuma, has also had its date changed to September 7. But this one was moved up from its original date of October 5.

My head is spinning.
