Weinstein Co. pushes back 'Nine' musical

I know it's not that tragic and I will definitely survive, but the Weinstein Co. just keeps pushing back films I am really dying to see. The latest film to get a new release date: Rob Marshall's musical "Nine."

"Nine" is one of only a few films I am really looking forward to this season, but it won't open on Nov. 25, 2009 anymore, because TWC pushed it to Dec. 18 for a limited opening and Dec. 25 for an expansion.

That means Christmas Day will be even busier. The reason for the move is that TWC's "The Road," which itself has seen tons of release date changes, is also set for a November 25 release.

According to Nikki Finke, the Weinstein Co. and Dimension put the horror project on hold for now, primarily because things felt too rushed and there just didn't seem to be enough time to get it all together so soon.

'The Road' finally gets late 2009 release date

Remember "The Road"? You know, John Hillcoat's big-screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same title? Yes, I know we haven't heard much about it in quite a while, but according to the Weinstein Co., the film will finally be released in theaters Oct. 16, 2009. "The Road" was initially suppoed to open around the end of 2008, but delays in pos-production forced the studio to push back the release.

"The Road" is the epic post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father (Viggo Mortensen) and his young son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) across a barren landscape that was blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and most life on earth. Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Robert Duvall and Garret Billahunt co-star. Let's just hope this date is final, because I've been wanting to see this thing ever since I first heard about it...

'Inglourious Basterds' release date set

The Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures have set a domestic release date for Quentin Tarantino's WWII drama "Inglourious Basterds."

TWC will distribute the flick Aug. 21, 2009. Universal will release the film overseas, but those dates have not been set yet.

In the brutal film, a group of Jewish-American soliders are sent to brutally kill every Nazi they come across.

Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Mike Myers, Michael Fassbender, B.J. Novak, Diane Kruger, Til Schweiger, Christoph Waltz, Raul Rust, Samuel L. Jackson and Maggie Cheung star.

A couple of months ago I heard rumors the movie may premiere at Cannes in May, so let's hope Tarantino will have it ready by then.

I recently posted two new stills from the film, and you can check the out right here.
