lololol I hope at least some of his patients can hang on until October.... http://variety.com/2013/film/news/jeremy-lin-linsanity-documentary-1200567327/ I'm going to NYC screening tonight.
Lin's basketball life has always been bumpy but he seems to find 'blessings' in each turn. I think he is happy NOW and does not even have to wait for the "ending". :grin:
"Ketchup Entertainment has acquired Evan Jackson Leong’s “Linsanity” and will release the documentary on Oct. 4. The Jeremy Lin doc, which premiered at Sundance, will launch in Boston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco along with 10 to 15 other cities." ~Variety Magazine, article from July 24, 2013
How does he do it? Shouldn't he have dropped off the face of this earth? From Madison Garden to Dwight/Harden contender team. Wish Jeremy the best of luck. Not that he needs it.
Hope it comes to Canada too. Something like this should be watched with like minded fans -- otherwise strange looks from family when you they see you cheering Linsanity in a "movie."
Will there be any cross promotion or cross marketing? Like show up to a Linsanity movie and get $1 off popcorn if you present a Rockets ticket stub. Or get a couple of bucks off a ticket to the Toyota Center with a Linsanity Movie ticket stub. Or show a commercial during the previews and trailers that air before the movie begins in the theaters telling people who like the movie to follow the story by ordering CSN, buying Rockets season tickets, or choosing the Rockets as a team to follow on League Pass. Or airing snippets from the film on the big overhead screen in the Toyota Center during half-time or before player introductions or something, as quid pro quo for the Rockets commercials in the theaters to tell theater audiences to order CSN or League Pass. Or maybe have a coupon redemption code packaged with the DVD once that comes out that lets people log on, sign up with their email address (great for Rockets marketing list), and get a discount on their first Rockets tickets. There just seems so much potential for cross-marketing to get the movie-going crowd who don't necessarily follow the NBA to become Rockets fans once the movie hits theaters. I wonder if anyone is thinking about that, or if the two marketing entities for the Film and the Rockets are just keeping arms distance.
I believe CAA is only responsible for the domestic theater release. The foreign rights are being handled by another entity. Not sure how closely the two are working together.
YaoMac09 is an independent person who does care about what other people think about him and does not let them bring him down. Sorry to bring this up again, but I have to support him when extremely race-conscious people describe him as self-hating. Just trying to do one's job to earn a living is the opposite of self-hating.
