: Yes this is off-topic, but for a good cause.
: "Run, Ronnie, Run: the Mr. Show movie" was done close to a couple of years ago, and has been held up by red-tape by New Line Cinema.
This simply isn't true. It shot very late in 2000 and was edited over the course of 2001 and had it's premiere at Sundance. However, I'd like to point out that "Super Troopers" was at Sundance too, I believe ... a year ago. That seems like it may be a more likely scenario, that it will be released eventually, but they won't know how to market it.
: Finally a release date of April 12 was set, but that has now been pushed back, to perhaps never. That said, I would like to encourage any of the Mr. Show with Bob and David fans on the board (and I know there are many) to check out the website below and e-mail the New Line executives to tell them you want to see the move. As the page below says, don't be dicks - just tell them you want to see it released.
I agree with all the rest of this.
