Fox Searchlight To Release Wes Anderson S Fantastic Mr Fox

Personally, I think it is for the film’s own good. A Searchlight release means that the film will probably get a ton of advance word of mouth screenings, and possibly even a gradual pre-release. The film is currently scheduled to hit theaters on November 13th in the States, but on October 22nd/23rd in UK and Russia, which might hint at a possible limited release in the States before the scheduled 13th date. But this is all just speculation on my part.

And rumor has it that the film’s trailer will be attached to Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, which opens July 1st 2009. No confirmation.
