Fox Ships Hide and Seek Without Final Reel

For the first time in its illustrious 70-year history, 20th Century Fox will be shipping prints of a motion picture to theaters across the nation without the picture's final reel. The unprecedented move is part of a major effort to protect the pay-off of the studio's terrifying suspense-thriller Hide and Seek, starring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning.

Fox has taken extraordinary measures to safeguard the critical final reel, which is shipping separately. In addition to shipping the reel separately, security guards will hand-deliver the reel to all playdate theaters across the U.S. As a final security measure, Fox has numbered all final reels.

Hide and Seek opens nationwide this Friday, January 28.

Commented Fox executive VP and general sales manager Richard Myerson: "'Hide and Seek' is a terrific picture with an ending that everyone will be talking about. To ensure everyone's enjoyment of the film and to prevent 'spoilers', we've instituted extraordinary measures. We think it's worth the effort."

Very cool.

BTW: Anyone else get a laugh thinking about the line (from the previews) "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" ... DeNiro yelled that to Nolte in Cape Fear.

Saw this today.

I was left kinda feeling like "eh...."

Good psychological thriller.. wasn't expecting it to be like it was though.

De Niro good as usual. movie is a rental.

 

[JPlay]

Kind of a cop out ending. Same thing as Secret Window. It's an old tired Twilight Zone ending. Kind of disappointed.

Everyone tries to "out psych" each other. Why can't filmakers just make a decent movie without effing it up. This movie sucked terribly. Love DeNiro, but he's gotta come better with his choices.

I avoided this movie. When I saw the preview, it looked like just a new version of a movie I saw starring Michelle Pfeiffer (sp?). Deniro in a bathtub, no way.

I just watched it. I thought it really sucked. For some reason, it was really obvious to me what was going on. I guess it’s just been done too many times now, so it’s not too surprising anymore.
