"The movie's release date was originally July 7, 2008, however due to
a money shortage at MGM the release date was pushed back to an
unspecified point in 2009, upon which it will be released in a trial
run in certain states to test public reaction to the film. The states
the movie is to be released in are California, Illinois, New York,
Maryland, South Carolina, Arizona, Texas, Montana and Kansas. If the
movie sales are as hoped, the movie will be released nationally and
Showtime will continue with production of new episodes."
