‘Brothers Bloom’ gets hurled into May 09 release?

Rian Johnson’s (Brick) new movie ‘The Brothers Bloom’ was set to receive a limited release on December 19, but Summit Entertainment has just recently chosen to push this date all the way back to May 2009. The film will receive a wider release two weeks after this initial opening.

May of 2009 has several large movies hitting theaters, but Summit is banking on a “different” type of audience seeing ‘Brothers Bloom’ over it’s competition, which will include ‘Angels & Demons’, ‘Night at the Museum 2’ and ‘Terminator: Salvation’.

I got to see ‘The Brothers Bloom’ during the St. Louis International Film Festival and it was great. The film follows two brothers, experienced veterans of the confidence game and celebrities in the underworld of con-men. Adrien Brody plays the brother who is tired of his life of lies and wants to escape into a “normal” life, but his brother, played by Mark Ruffalo, simply won’t let him ignore his manipulative ways.
