Lou Lumenick at the New York Post reports that The Last Legion, the latest flick to draw a link between actual Roman history and Arthurian legend, “is not being screened in advance for critics“. But while that might be true in New York, it is not true here; I saw the film at a press screening in Vancouver last Friday, and my review will appear at CT Movies tomorrow. The Weinstein Co. is one of the film’s distributors, and I am reminded me of how at least one other film of theirs — Doogal, AKA The Magic Roundabout (2005) — was screened for the press in Canada but not in the United States. Weinstein films are distributed by Alliance-Atlantis in Canada; perhaps the two companies have different policies, at least where European acquisitions like these are concerned.
