ROGUE going theatrical after all?
By Michael Gingold
We had reported last week (based on info from on-line DVD sales sites and a video retail insider) that Dimension was sending ROGUE, the killer-crocodile film from WOLF CREEK writer/director Greg McLean starring Radha Mitchell (pictured) and Michael Vartan, straight to DVD May 22. Then the other day, we got a call from Dimension stating that such is not the case. Apparently, the movie will first play theaters in Australia (which McLean calls home and where ROGUE was lensed) via Village Roadshow this summer, followed by big-screen play in the U.S. this fall. So we got in touch with Genius Entertainment, which is partnered with The Weinstein Company in releasing Dimension titles on DVD, and a source there told us ROGUE has no definite disc date. We're happy to hear that the film, which we've been hearing great things about (see an advance report here), seems headed for Stateside theatrical release after all—though someone should tell all those web retail sites, which still have it listed as a May 22 disc title.
