The movie was originally set to be released by New Line Cinema, a Time Warner company, in November 2005 but was later pushed back to a limited release in December 2005 and wide release later on in January 2006. With an estimated budget of $30,000,000 the picture is being produced by Sarah Green. It is believed that the film will be the first studio feature in nine years to shoot at least partially on 65 mm film for non-visual effect shots; the last being Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet in 1996 (filmed entirely in 65 mm).
