Newmarket Films denied screen time
Los Angeles | October 07, 2006 12:01:13 AM IST
 

Several major film chains have refused to play the fake investigative documentary Death of a President, being distributed by Newmarket Films.

The film depicts the 2007 death of U.S. President George Bush, using real news footage mixed with dramatized segments, said the Hollywood Reporter.

Newmarket acquired the U.S. rights for the film for $1 million at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the Fipresci International Critics' Award. Newmarket plans to open the film on Oct. 27 in every theater that will actually allow them in.

Yes, it's controversial, Newmarket co-founder Chris Ball told the Hollywood Reporter. It's quite a compelling political thriller. In many ways it is sympathetic to George Bush. It talks about a rush to judgment. In no way is it a call for violence.

Regal Entertainment group, the country's largest theater chain, passed on playing the film, citing the subject matter as the primary reason. We would not be inclined to program this film, Regal Entertainment Group Chief Executive Officer Mike Campbell said. We feel it is inappropriate to portray the future assassination of a sitting president, regardless of political affiliation.
