And an update on Iron Sky: As of yesterday, enough tickets have been sold, so the screening set for August 15 is now confirmed.

The feature films are (or at least include) Academy-Award nominee A Cat in Paris, the documentary Marley, the documentary Under the Boardwalk: The Monopoly Story, and the comedy Not That Funny:

This one is called Assassin’s Bullet, and co-stars Donald Sutherland. It was directed by Isaac Florentine, who has received praise on some film forums for several of his other action movies (which did go straight to video, as far as I can tell)- although the (not exactly positive) Variety review of Assassin’s Bullet said that the script didn’t really play to Florentine’s strengths as a director. This is getting an even more limited release than Soldiers of Fortune (just 6 screens, compared to 48 for SoF, according to the sites linked below)- and it (like Soldiers of Fortune) is of course not getting shown at any theaters in central Indiana. If anyone is really interested in seeing Assassin’s Bullet on a big screen, it is listed on the Tugg site, albeit under the alternate title Sofia- although no one in the US has tried to set up a screening, from the looks of it.

(The good news on Tugg-related matters- as of Sunday afternoon, only 8 more people need to buy advance tickets for that screening of Iron Sky to take place on August 15….)
