THE ALAMO to be held longer than the usual 13 days... coming April 2004

Hey folks, Harry here... One of my most reliable sources tells me that Disney has picked up THE ALAMO and moved it from the Christmas release that had long been planned and is now movie the film to sometime in April of 2004. While the source did not specify the reasons behind the move, I'm willing to bet it has quite a bit to do with the less than enthusiastic response it has been getting from Test Screenings. The film has been cited as being overlong and emotionally uninvolving. We can only hope that this extended release date will afford it time to find the better, shorter, film within. This also will officially mean that Billy Bob Thornton won't be a contender for the Supporting Actor Oscar as some have theorized. More as the details come...
