Lionsgate's "Trade" gets bumped to the 2007 slate
According to the LA Times, Lionsgate's Oscar hopeful "Trade," starring Kevin Kline in what could be a major awards role for the "A Prairie Home Companion" star, has been moved to an April 2007 release date. So cross out that #4 slot I gave to Kline just yesterday in the "Under the Radar" column.
This is a somewhat curious decision if you ask me, considering how terribly thin the studio's output looks to be this year. I guess this gives them some muscle to put behind "Bug" in any case. Regardless, unless it totally screws the pooch, expect "Trade," a gritty drama concerning sex trafficking, to be a major force in next year's awards season.
Boy am I getting bummed at news affecting my columns so quickly this month. So it goes...

do you really think it'll be a major force in 2007 if they're moving it to an april release???

Kristopher, i had that same thought as well...i guess it's the same heavy level drama that won't get large audiences probably no matter when it's released.
your probably right about their train of thought. Especially w/ out really having any buzz for this award season.
