I think that's 2009 eh? But still, it's true that it's getting a limited release here in the States in a few weeks, which certainly could (will) confuse some people with the Twilight one.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-11-2010 09:10 PM                     I remember seeing a campy buddy cop movie in the mid 1980s called Running Scared, starring Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal. It was one of those hazy, desaturated Peter Hyams movies where's he's both the Director and DP. Then another Running Scared movie was released in 2006. Totally different movie starring Paul Walker and Vera Farmiga before she starred in The Departed. IMDB shows 2 other movies of the same title and a TV series. Edit: Another one that was a bit odd: 28 Days and 28 Days Later. Both movies were released only a couple years apart. Made for nice channel surfing confusion when looking for movies to watch on cable/satellite.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Both movies were released only a couple years apart. Made for nice channel surfing confusion when looking for movies to watch on cable/satellite. Oh, right, that one even caused some confusion theatrically, not just on cable, even though they were released over 3 years apart (in the States anyway). One of the internet movie ticket websites (I forget which one) had 28 Days listed when it was really 28 Days Later.... Complete with a picture of the poster with Ms. Bullock on it and a summary of the Betty Thomas film, even though it was actually the Danny Boyle one that was playing. Thankfully this wasn't for my location, but I imagine there were more than a few people that got foiled by that. I see there is a documentary from 2008 called 28 Days to Vegas too.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.
