Domino pushed back

UPDATE - New Line writes in to say that in no way, shape or form was DOMINO rescheduled because of the recent legal issues of the real Domino Harvey as speculated upon below. The film was, they claim, scheduled for a new date, well before this happened. Anyway, back to the lecture at hand...

One of the films I was really looking forward to this summer was Tony Scott's DOMINO. I had been following Richard Kelly's version of the script for some time and was excited when production was announced with Keira Knightley starring. The trailer showed promise (despite the borderline irritating "I am Domino Harvey" voiceover) and only served to get me more riled up. The film was scheduled to be released this August but now New Line has decided to push the film back until November 4th. Reasons for the delay were not announced but it is interesting to note that the real Domino Harvey was arrested and charged with conspiracy to distribute drugs, possession, trafficking and racketeering last week. Not sure exactly what impact that would have on the film but it may bide the studio some time to add a brief coda or simply have Harvey available to do press. The move leaves New Line with only one more film to release this summer, the Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy THE WEDDING CRASHERS, but two films, DOMINO and THE NEW WORLD, in the same November week (11/4 and 11/9 respectively). Here's wondering if this is the last schedule shuffling we'll see.
