As of four days ago, director Uwe Boll’s latest film, “Postal,” was set to open this coming Friday — on four screens.
Since then, Boll has been scrambling to find more theaters to show his movie, and he’s been updating MTV Multiplayer the moment each confirmation come in.
As of this writing, we’re up to 12 signed theaters.
“We were prepared to open on 1500 screens all across America on May 23,” said Boll in a press release last week. “Any multiplex in the U.S. should have space for us, but they’re afraid. We have even tried to buy a few screens in New York and Los Angeles, and they won’t let us even rent the theaters!”
I’ve already seen “Postal.” Boll and actor Zack Ward came to San Francisco last fall and showed an early cut from the controversial game adaptation. It actually made me legitimately laugh at least once. Boll is currently in negotiations with a local Bay Area theater — fingers crossed — but the deal’s not locked up yet.
Twelve theaters, however, have committed to showing “Postal.” Read on to learn which ones.
(Note: The following theater listings, including addresses and phone numbers, were provided by Boll. Please check the information for your local theater before heading out to watch “Postal” there.)
