    No dummy
    The movie is not out and its in film festival circuits which means the people who show the film are the linsanity movie crew.
    They deserve to get paid for their hard word
    They won't leak it out for some cheapskate punks.

    Go download a pirated version of transformers

    Or read a book on how films are made cause you don't know jack****

    Yes I am.
    Regardless what I think of the movie, I understand that it was hard work. I support these guys by going to the film and providing feedback.
    The people who make linsanity the movie aren't millionaires.

    tinman is right - this is a small, independent film that was made largely through sheer effort. These folks started filming before there was even a Linsanity to argue over. It'd be nice to reward them for their hard work.

    Taiwan, mark Oct. 11 on your calendars.

    “Linsanity,” the biographical documentary about Jeremy Lin, the U.S. basketball phenomenon of Taiwanese descent, is set for an Oct. 11 theatrical release in Taiwan.​

    they don't live in mansions and don't have multiple fancy cars. so it's not like downloading a song from spoiled rich entertainers. this is purely an art form

    I'm a backer of the movie so I'll get a DVD, but I want to watch it on a BIG SCREEN so yes, I'll pay for it in theaters.

    Me, too. I will receive a DVD but it is more fun to watch it in the theatre with other people.

    It's amazing they started to film this back in 2010 before he entered the NBA :eek: What a lucky break!

    Aside from the feelgood aspect of bringing Lin's story to the silver screen, this is also about making money and increasing the exposure of those who helped bring this documentary to fruition. The never before seen footage in "Linsanity" was coveted by ESPN, SI, and every other news media outlet hoping to capitalize on Lin's trending during that magical stretch. Rest assured, those clips would have commanded a pretty penny had the producers of this film succumbed to the pressure. ESPN had no idea what was was being planned. The owners of said footage knew they were sitting on something special and had no intention to allow the media circus to have complete control in telling Jeremy's story.
