Nothing yet about a distribution deal for this POS movie. There was a story yesterday that buyers are wary of "serious films".

It’s only my opinion but I believe any theater chain that shows any of these anti-military pieces of trash will see a backlash from it.

From your link:
Monday saw the preem of Anglo helmer Nick Broomfield's Iraq docudrama "Road to Haditha," another in the long line of issue-heavy pics currently making the Toronto, and world fest, rounds. Broomfield pic is a blow-by-blow re-creation of the events that led to a platoon of U.S. Marines killing 24 Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha.

"This film was a chance to go beyond the headlines," said "Haditha" producer Donall McCusker. "The war in Iraq is one of the most significant events in the world today. For us to be scared about talking about it and tackling it because it's seen on the news everyday would be the wrong thing to do. I don't think there are too many films about Iraq being made, although I accept there are a lot of Iraq films being made."
Hope they lose their shirts!
