Danny Boyle's Sunshine Gets Summer 2007 Release
We've often wondered about Danny Boyle's Sunshine. Filming wrapped in Fall of 2005. Post production took over a year, pushing back the original October 13h 2006 release date to March 2007, and then pushed back again till September 2007 in the States. Other areas of the world have already seen it (which makes me wonder why we've drawn the short straw). But today I have Good News! I just received word from Fox Searchlight that the film has been pushed up for a Summer release. Sunshine will now hit theaters on July 20th 2007. And even better, it will be a WIDE release. None of this platform art-house expansion stuff. Seems like the studio has faith in the film. The film will now go head to head with New Line's Hairspray and the Adam Sandler/Kevin James gay marriage comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. And it seems to me that all three of those films are vying for different audiences, so Sunshine might actually have a chance.
