I believe this is the third time they pushed back an estimated release date. Earlier this year (or late last year) they said it would be released in the third quarter of 2006. I'm beginning to wonder if this wonderful movie will ever see the light of day....

Thought same thing here, although the sports mag is spelled with a double t.
