So, no release dates yet in North America, but do we know if there is an ETA for England? I would really like to see this film, just to see how versatile Rupert can be, but I don't even know if it's going to be released in theatres.

I think it would be really exciting to see Rupert (I wonder if he knows how many of us comsider ourselves on a first name basis) in a different role. I'm really looking forward to it.

The only reason i'd go and see it is to see rupert act a different character....and find out how talented he is. otherwise...it kinda looks like a groovy movie.
