The run down on Chapter 27

At the moment,I am feeling hopeful.I am getting the feeling that I am accomplishing something and that makes me feel the way I do.

The run down currently on the movie Chapter 27 is that it got a private screening at AFM recently in front of a select audience.The movie was not picked up by any distributor who was there and even a critic,who asked for anonymity expressed his thoughts regarding the film and they are as follows:

"This movie is a total waste of time and a very unnecessary film.It's hard to believe that first time film maker Jarett Schaeffer tries to take the story of a man who murdered his idol and make it into an acceptable art form. Leto's performance as the murderer is just plain boring and without substance.Besides,who really cares about what was going on in the mind of the murderer as to what possessed or motivated him to kill a much loved rock star and a man who loved and prayed for world unity.Peace Arch Entertainment was rolling snake eyes when they chose to bankroll this worthless excuse for a movie and classify it as entertainment.They could have saved themselves a lot of stress,headaches and controversy by passing on this opportunity."

Not only that,the casting of both Jared Leto and Lindsay Lohan in the film was an effort to bring all the young people of today to the theatres. Leto also was miscast in the way of being "Too Old" for the age of the murderer who shall remain nameless as a favor to not only Beatles and Lennon fans but on the advice of Lennon's widow Yoko Ono and former bandmate and collaborator Paul McCartney.The man who took the life of Lennon was actually 25 years of age and Leto,who portrayed him in the film,is 35.I also managed to check the festival website containing a summary of the movie and it has Leto as that monster proudly aiming a gun and smiling.That,in itself,is TOTAL BLASPHEMY.Yes it is.My anger for that man knows no bounds until the day he dies.On that day,I can breathe a sigh of relief and say to myself "John Lennon Can Finally Rest In Peace.His Murderer Is Now Dead."

As of now,it looks like we're winning.No distributor has even picked this up.It has already been passed by most of them including Fox Searchlight Pictures and it's parent company 20th Century Fox and others.There is a rumor going about that the Weinstein's are interested but this has not been confirmed or denied.I am hoping that this is just a rumor and that they are not interested.It would make me sad if they did decide to pick it up.Again,so far,this film has no takers in the distribution areas and we can only hope that it stays that way.If it does get picked up,the only thing we can hope for is that the movies BOMBS in theatres.We can still win it either way.

Let's keep it up.If it does not get picked up or if it BOMBS,let the celebrations begin.I will be with all the fans of both the Beatles and John Lennon in spirit.
