I went down to the Alamo Drafthouse tonight for a 9:50 show of Wrath of Khan. They showed a couple of minutes of it before Mr Nimoy appeared in the flesh, bearing a big canister containing the complete new film. We beat out the Australia "world premiere" by several hours.

Are you talking about this movie?
So you got to see it one month before the premiere? Lucky bastard.
"Do you think it's fair that they get to see it first in Australia?"
"NO!"
"Wouldn't you rather see the whole thing instead of just 10 minutes?"
wild applause
I must be naturally skeptical, because I didn't believe he could actually deliver until I noticed he was carrying an enormous film canister.
@Xan:
That's the movie, yeah. Nimoy looked really good for 78, and he was obviously having a great time playing to the crowd, which had been promised 10 minutes of the new movie after Khan finished. That was ostensibly why the guys in suits were checking for cell phones and cameras.

Ahh.. So you only saw the first ten minutes. What a teaser. Hmm.. There is no mention on wikipedia as to when the movie will be released in Sweden. Do they still wait many months before they release a new movie in Sweden compared to USA? If so, what is the reason that they do that? They are in it for the money, I understand that. But I don't understand how they get more money from voluntary release delays. Anyone with a theory/explanation?

May 8 in many countries (including the "home country" USA), according to IMDb.

It greatly depends on the marketing budget for the movie and early interest in it, I think. If early reception is good while the movie is still in production, they might up the marketing budget a bit.
That's my theory, anyway.

Yep! And I'm working on getting a body again that fits the damn thing. I bought it when I was slimmer. It's a good motivator

Is it worth a theatre viewing?
Absolutely. Without a doubt.
