Has Peace Arch given up on Chapter 27?
After reading this article and the comments made by John Flock, it appears to me that Chapter 27 has been pushed aside by Peace Arch. Realizing that getting a US distribution deal for Chapter 27 is not going to happen, they are focusing all of the companies efforts on Delirious. This is a huge victory for all of the supporters of the Chapter 27 boycott.

"Delirious" was accepted by the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival along with only nine other US feature film comedies. The film's screening followed closely on the heels of its critical acclaim during the North American premiere at this year's prestigious Sundance Film Festival. It also won multiple awards and outstanding reviews at the film's world premiere at Spain's San Sebastian Film Festival, including the prestigious SIGNIS award.

The film was produced by Independent Spirit Award winner Bob Salerno ("21 Grams," "All The Pretty Horses," "Chapter 27").

Hahaha....IT HAS DISTRIBUTION. Just because your precious internet doesn't tell you so. Sundance picked up Chapter 27 weeks before the internet commumity knew about it. Trust me you'll see soon enough.
To the ones who started this blog;
You should move to North Korea, where people control what is released, and what is not, where people aren't free to speak their minds. You are supporters of dictatorship. And for the sake of freedom and democrazy, I wish that this movie will be released.
