(Maureen Dowd can breathe a sigh of relief, the film version of Killing Osama bin Laden is going to be postponed till past the date of the November, 2012 election, so it will inevitably lose the appearance of the studio's attempting to curry political favor out of the Obama Administration. Or perhaps its a recognition of the political reality on the ground and didn't want to have to explain its decision to release the a few weeks before the election to a President Herman Cain when it later seeks a favor from the White House.)
"Aww: Sony will postpone opening of The Obama Is Totally Awesome blockbuster movie
Officially, it’s called Untitled International Thriller, but the original release date of October 12, 2012 for the film based on the SEAL Team 6 mission that killed Osama bin Laden had even Maureen Dowd questioning the motives of the filmmakers — and of the White House, which was apparently cooperating with the filmmakers and providing inside information. Republicans in Congress expressed outrage, promised investigations, and proposed laws to block Hollywood from gaining access to information.
Coincidentally or not, Sony has moved the release date for the film:
Sony likely won’t be releasing Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal’s untitled project about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden before the 2012 Presidential election as planned.
Originally skedded to launch Oct. 12, the studio said it will definitely move the film — but is considering a few different options as to when."
