Hood vs. Evil<\/a><\/i> was originally going to come out two weeks ago, similar to how the original film came out in mid-January four years ago, but late last year it was put on indefinite hold. This has put certain promotional partners \u2014 notably Burger King, which is already selling toys and running contests in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clubbk.com\/Toys\/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">United States<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burgerking.co.uk\/hoodwinkedtoo\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Great Britain<\/a> \u2014 in a bit of an odd spot. The British Burger King site says it is possible to watch the trailer for the new film <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainmentfilms.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>, but I have been unable to find it <i>anywhere<\/i>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/filmchatblog.blogspot.com\/2006\/05\/cory-edwards-interviews-up.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cory Edwards<\/a>, who directed the original film and co-wrote the sequel, wrote in a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/coryscuriosities.blogspot.com\/2010\/01\/hoodwinked-2-coming-sometime-someday.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">blog post<\/a> that he has \u201cno idea\u201d when the new film will come out.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably, one reason for the film\u2019s delay is that its distributor, the Weinstein Company, has been hard up for cash in recent months, not least because their Oscar-bait musical <i><a href=\"http:\/\/filmchatblog.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/nine-does-not-always-equal-9.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nine<\/a><\/i> flopped in a big way when it came out several weeks ago. The original <i>Hoodwinked!<\/i> was one of their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/studio\/chart\/?studio=weinsteincompany.htm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">biggest hits<\/a>, so you\u2019d think they might be eager to get the sequel out there soon, but they may not be able to afford the prints and advertising right now.<\/p>\n<p>Not all recent <i>Hoodwinked!<\/i> news has been bad, though. Edwards also recently <a href=\"http:\/\/coryscuriosities.blogspot.com\/2010\/01\/hoodwinked-soundtrack-back-on-itunes.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">announced<\/a> that the <a href=\"http:\/\/filmchatblog.blogspot.com\/2005\/12\/fleming-john-do-fairy-tale-soundtrack.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">soundtrack<\/a> to the original film, which has long been out of print, is now available for download <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/hoodwinked-original-motion-picture\/id338517052\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">via iTunes<\/a>. So if you\u2019ve been looking for a more \u201clegit\u201d copy of the soundtrack than the bootleg version that composer-producers Fleming &amp; John made available at their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/flemingandjohn\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">MySpace page<\/a> some time ago, well, there ya go.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The companies behind Hoodwinked! giveth, and the companies behind Hoodwinked! taketh away.
