Information Le Pogam (head of EuropaCorp) has given at this conference about The Tree of Life:
the most recent cut they have recently seen has a length of 2h40.
River Road will deliver them a final cut of 2h15 in the coming weeks that Malick has worked on these past weeks/months..

So a special press conference yesterday at their convention, to announce nothing, to tease theater owners for nothing.. And just two hours after the Fox SearchLight announcement, it's just a coincidence..?
A big coincidence knowing that EuropaCorp had never announced any official date until yesterday for a film they had acquired the rights in 2008.

By the way, LeFilmFrançais is a professional publication (you have to be part of the movie production world) that is only announcing real projects, and that never publish gossip...

So ok the american date is probably bogus.. But the indices of seriousness for the EuropaCorp release are really striking..

Is it impossible there have been discussions between Pohlad/River Road and EuropaCorp to let them know what the state of the negociation with Fox SearchLight was ? And that when a schedule for the US release was sure , EuropaCorp infered and announced his own schedule, after having waited the green ligh of the official announcement from Fox SearchLight that they know was coming?

Sure, this is speculation, but at least as much speculation as the late 2011 gossip, isn't it ?

Dream on, Mr. Naivete (Inderweltsein). Those were euro dates tentatively slotted when Europeans were told the film might have a December 2010 date (hence the Dec 5 date you found).

Also, just cause you see a date on the internet -- especially with this constantly in flux movie -- doesn't mean its true.

Also, dream on again if you think the Euro market is going to determine the release date first.

Even better, EuropaCorp seems to know the Fox Searchlight release date in the US : December 5.

I don't believe in Late 2011.

EuropaCorp has announced, just after the Fox Searchlight announcement (this is obviously linked) that they will release it in February in France, and French speaking region of Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

I agree with Katie, everyone is just ahhhhh, why such a long wait!!! They haven't seen a trailer or anything.

What happens if it isn't good. For their sake I hope it is good, because they sure are hyping it up.

I know, I'm terrible. I'm winding everyone up for my amusement. But someone has to ask these questions!

If it is so experimental is there a chance they won't do Oscars? It could be an early summer release.

I don't care about this movie that much but I am so highly amused about how much everyone else is losing their minds over it. Guys… what if it's not that good? WHAT THEN? I mean, it has fucking dinosaurs for crying out loud.
