These are two websites linked to the soloist.
Also here is the making of the soloist :)
The release date for 'The soloist' in the USA was Nov 08 which moved to April 09. The release date in the UK was 25th Sept.
- Advertising budget cut because they were backing Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road, therefore they had more chance of winning an Oscar.
- Also there was another hick up because they got removed from the AFI (American Film Festival) and from the opening night on the 30th Oct (world premier) . Apparently they described the film as a 'cinematic innovation' and a 'renewal of a tradition of realism'.
- Joe Wright also created 'Iron Man' and 'Atonement' which won a golden globe BAFTA. The soloist was Joe Wrights first American film.
An example is Alice in wonderland because it had a DVD release date which was 12 weeks after it was brought into the cinema therefore the exhibitor ODEON boycotted showing it (biggest in the UK) which forced institutions to change their plans.
