I want some people to talk honestly about this mess. I'm fascinated at the prospect of how the media plays this. Let's see who is real

and who is a fake. 

The bleeding hearts have been lining up for 7 months now, waiting for this movie to come out. I know I've been looking forward to see it, to see if it deserves all the hype. 

And now, this personal thing, this awful thing, is thrown into the mix. 

I am particularly interested in the female perspecive on this one. Do a little research, go read about this incident, what happened, and how it all transpired legally. We're talking about some horrible stuff here. 

Let's be clear. One person here was convicted. The only reason they didn't serve was the defendant did not pursue the retrial (the victim was emtionally broken by this, the victim is a multiple attempted suicide). 

And so far, what do we get? A bunch of spin from Nate Parker, and his cowriter, co-whatever you want to call him. This is some ugly stuff. I look forward to the coverage this time around. Does this one get swept under the rug? Pretty big rug. 

 

Variety: Fox Searchlight is rethinking its release strategy for Birth of a Nation, won't allow interviews with Nate Parker until TIFF notfabio Aug 15, 15:54

Part of the sales agreement guaranteed a release of at least 1500 screens and a traveling roadshow tour with Nate Parker {nm} notfabio Aug 15, 15:55

"they are considering not granting new interviews with Parker from now until the movie debuts at the Toronto Film Festival in September." {nm} Moviesnob Aug 15, 15:59

craziest part of the article is the source that said fox didnt know about the trial when they made the offer Moviesnob Aug 15, 16:00

in their defense, it's not like he's Roman Polanksi {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 15, 16:06

I don't know - if you read the facts of the case, there was no dispute the act happened and that she wasn't 100%... TwoMisfits Aug 15, 16:20

but unless there are Representations and Warranties in a sale deal that require disclosure of this kind of event, Fox Searchlight would have slipping jimmy Aug 15, 16:24

this will directly affect their release strategy and they should have done their research prior to its premiere. Moviesnob Aug 15, 16:31

It also doesn't help that his co-writer was convicted initially (and the only reason for no retrial was the victim didn't want it)... TwoMisfits Aug 15, 16:46

Not sure why he would be required to do any interviews before TIFF anyway (maybe long lead) but he'll be at Telluride for sure. {nm} diamondman56 Aug 15, 17:29
