REJECTED
i was just on the BITTERFILMS.COM website to check up on the time for november 3rds showing of the film and this is what i found...
# ALERT: The Cartoon Network has suddenly yanked Rejected at the very last minute from its scheduled November 3 premiere date, under renewed pressure from its censors.
We have just learned that the powers-that-be never got over their problems with the fact the film contains the phrase, "sweet Jesus" (all of the blood and screaming violence being a-ok), prompting this very bizarre last-minute cancellation. We'd been struggling with the network's standards and practices department for over a year and a half now to get the film on air, uncut and commerical free; the Nov 3 date was finally set in stone over the summer, complete with ads that ran this week on the network promoting the big premiere. Alas, it is not to be.
Since we will never edit the film under any circumstances, the network is still hoping to settle this internally at which point a rescheduled air date will hopefully be announced. We'll keep you posted as to any new developments, and our apologies on behalf of the network. We are as dumbfounded, upset, and mildly amused as you are..
sorry to be the one to spread the news...
