CHARLESTON, South Carolina (AP) -- IMAX theaters in several Southern cities have decided not to show a film on volcanoes out of concern that its references to evolution might offend those with fundamental religious beliefs.
"We've got to pick a film that's going to sell in our area. If it's not going to sell, we're not going to take it," said Lisa Buzzelli, director of an IMAX theater in Charleston that is not showing the movie. "Many people here believe in creationism, not evolution."
The film, "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea," makes a connection between human DNA and microbes inside undersea volcanoes.
Buzzelli doesn't rule out showing the movie in the future.
IMAX theaters in Texas, Georgia and the Carolinas have declined to show the film, said Pietro Serapiglia, who handles distribution for Stephen Low, the film's Montreal-based director and producer.
"I find it's only in the South," Serapiglia said.
Critics worry screening out films that mention evolution will discourage the production of others in the future.
"It's going to restrain the creative approach by directors who refer to evolution," said Joe DeAmicis, vice president for marketing at the California Science Center in Los Angeles and a former director of an IMAX theater. "References to evolution will be dropped."

-

I think Frank Miller is a master, and Rodriquez and Tartentino are masters. I don't see this movie sucking.
-

btw Merla, if you want to see stuff about the movie, you can go to www.sincitythemovie.com

For every three shitty comic book movies there is always one good one.
-
No. It's one good comicbook movie out of every five.
-
So what is that movie about exactly? And nobody say "a city of sin" or something vaguely ghey like that.
-
And that website appears to hate me.
-
Maybe you should give it a backrub?
-

Support this.

I will not reward inpertinence!

It's a bunch of stories concerning various characters set
in a city
of
SIN[/size]
-
Yep, just a set of stories... Think of it as a comic book Pulp Fiction.

EWWW!

So what about that is suppose to make me want to watch it? I don't get it. Does it at least have some sort of cohesive element, or is it just the fact they're all in the same city?
-
In the comics, they were mostly just in the same city. Given Robert Rodriguez, I'm sure he'll make all of their stories tie up togather.

I think she's seen that--she just can't make sense of it.

I read the user comments there, it makes more sense now.

Dude! Jeff plays Roy! I must find a copy of that!
-
Yeah they actually got quite a bit of talent for a quite mockable concept. I bet Sigfried and Roy probably have girlfriends in the movie too...
-
................
That would be blasphemy, sir.

Hey, I didn't make the movie. Hell...I didn't make Father of the Pride either... Though, I bet I could make a hit show for NBC if they gave me 13 Million dollars...
-
Elija Wood's in the movie?
-

I'd make "Blair Witch: The Series" and pocket the other 12 million.

Strap a cam to a rolling chair, pull it through some trees screaming, and offer Brian Drummond a REAL speaking roll for $900K. With the number of commercials Sci-Fi Channel runs, you'd only need about 15 minutes of footage for an hour's slot.
-
I'm shocked Drummie never played on SG-1. Most VAs have, in minor roles, but still.
-
Maybe he was uncredited as a patch of grass. Or they got Artie Lang instead.
-
Artie Lange is too comfy on Stern.
