Since it happened on September 11th, 1857, I wonder if the release date has anything to do with the 150th anniversary of the massacre on September 11th 2007?
Given how bad the reviews for it are, and that it is an independent film, I think the only reason they were able to get a distributor was because of Mitt. Isn’t the distributor the one to pick when it hits the theaters, and how long were they looking for a distributor before they got one? I think the movie-makers just wanted to throw mud at Mormons, although I’m sure they are pleased with the timing of the release.
