starbrat...IT'S TRUE indeed!!!!!!!!! another site confirmed it! i cut and pasted the article. thanks for the GREAT news!!!!!!!!!!!! www.cinematical.com/2007/05/23/sunshine-bumped-up-for-july-release/'Sunshine' Bumped Up For July Release Posted May 23rd 2007 5:32PM by Erik Davis Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Distribution, Fox Searchlight, Newsstand Although my birthday present from Fox Searchlight arrived a bit late, it was well worth the wait -- Cinematical was just informed (via a press release) that Danny Boyle's Sunshine has had its release date pushed up to July 20; a move that put a huge smile on my face as we come to the end of a relatively tame Wednesday. For those slightly out of the loop on this one, Sunshine was originally supposed to be released this past March 16. And although the film arrived in theaters around the world (as planned) Fox Searchlight delayed its release here in the states, subsequently pushing it all the way back to December. To say us Boyle fans were a tad bummed out about that would be an understatement -- as our own Scott Weinberg proclaimed, "That's like walking into a kid's room on 12/15 and saying, 'Oh, we bumped Christmas back to September. Stop crying!'" Fox provided no reason for either shift; originally, some of us thought that maybe they were prepping the flick for an Oscar run, but it didn't seem like the sort of film (futuristic sci-fi?) that Oscar voters chomp on for breakfast. Was it that bad that Fox wanted to re-tool the thing and hide it amongst a busy Compass-filled December? Not likely; the trailers rock, and the buzz has been pretty good. Nevertheless, I could care less at this point -- I just want to see the damn film as quickly as possible. In the pic, director Boyle and writer Alex Garland once again team up for a story about a group of astronauts (Rose Byrne, Chris Evans, Cillian Murphy, Troy Garity, etc ...) who are sent to help re-ignite the sun after the sucker begins to burn out. Mark your calendars people. Sunshine. July 20. Awesome stuff!

I'm waiting (as usual) for confirmation from Searchlight... but it seems like it just may be the case.... I'm also waiting for confirmation of the UK DVD release- it's either end of August or Sept. I suspect Sept, but they're now talking August... They are also finalising what extras there will be... And there should be a whole host of new stuff online for that, as well.

I guess this means we should be seeing the trailer in theaters imminently? I've never seen the trailer on the big screen but I think it was out there briefly when we all thought the big day was March 16. From today, that leaves a little less than 2 months to get the publicity rolling. And all the blockbusters are underway - so the trailer could be shown with any or all of them? I can't wait to see it ( trailer, and of course film )

jordansmom, apparently the film is going to be put out in "Wide Release." Even if it was only "limited release," I'll bet you'd have a much better shot of seeing this than TWTSTB. I don't have a list of theaters (and there probably won't be one if it's widely released, but if it *is* limited release, it'll probably be later that it's even put online).
Gia-- any word on a 'premiere' sort of thing in America for this release?
