Dammit, why doesn't Switzerland have a release date for Bridge to Terabithia?

I've been boycotting the movie just because it looked like it was going to be so unfaithful from the ads. Wouldn't be the first time the ad campaign fucked things up. Well, maybe I'll go see it in the next few weeks and let you know whether or not it was any good.

Best of luck finding dates for it coming out in Geneva.

Awesome. :-)

The screenplay was co-written by Katherine Paterson's son David, and it's actually based on the relationship between him and one of his childhood friends (down to the ending, although apparently in RL it involved lightning). I somehow doubt he'd want to fuck it up.

I understood that the Patersons and the director are distancing themselves from the advertising.

Which is logical and feasible, I guess, since usually trailers are cut by a third-party studio.
