UPDATE! We’ve checked into this further, and it appears that this may only apply to the CANADIAN release… There is still NO U.S. theatrical date as of yet, but it looks like all might not be lost (here in the States that is. Sorry, Canadians…). As always, we’ll keep you updated as this develops…
After struggling to find itself a solid release date, looks like MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN (or, according to STYD, simply “MIDNIGHT TRAIN”) will have to settle for one somewhere much later down the road – on DVD.
That’s correct. We received an email straight from the source, Maple Pictures, that M.M.T is off the release schedule, now aiming for a street date “later this year.” Anyone even marginally excited for this picture, like myself, has got to feel a little bummed…
Is this a knee-jerk reaction to THE RUINS not setting the box office on fire with a lackluster $8 million opening weekend? Are R-rated horror movies not called SAW out? Is the flick too hardcore for the mainstream – or is it just a turd? Maybe it’s just the next ROGUE… I guess time will tell… whenever we get a look at the thing, that is.
Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura, MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN stars Bradley Cooper, Vinnie Jones, Brooke Shields, and Leslie Bibb (below).
