Gettin' Movies before they are out in the Cinema ?

[$SnoopDo2G$]

I was just wonderin' if any of your guys, knew if there is a way to get a movie before it's release in the cinema ?
I heard Asian people are good at it ?!
But i ain't quite sure about all this...
Post here your thoughts and talk about it...
And i added a poll just to see what you think about it...

You mean where the release comes from?

I mean from the original source ...

Sometime a work-print may hit the Internet before the movie makes it to the theater. But nothing regular. When one does get leaked shit usually hits the fan, and someone is going to jail. That shit it fairly easy to trace back to the source.

I'd prefer just to wait for the movie to run it's time in the theater and grab it right before it hits DVD. That is unless a good TC comes out before hand.

make your own movie?

Ok, thank you for confirming my thoughts, some people may think it's impossible, but you are now confirming this stuff is really possible, just have to get a good source i guess...

It's rare, that it happens. But it can and does happen. When it does happen it seems like someone always goes to jail over it.

Examples are,
Star Wars Episode 3 (torrent site crack down after this was leaked)
Rob Zombie's Halloween
Michael Moore's Sicko
The Hulk



It really has nothing to do with "sources". It has to do with people's some people's stupidity.

yes there are people who have inside source. usually movie producers are getting more and more secure about their distribution but a leak always pops up here and there. you may get to see a workprint or a cam from the private screening. but both of those will be dismal quality and not worth watching the movie. its better to wait for dvdrips or if you are desperate a TC or R5

A workprint is a copy of the film that has not been finished.
It can be missing scenes, music, and others can contain extra scenes. The quality can range from excellent to very poor.
Some WPs are very different from the final print

about 2 years ago there was a movie (can't remember the name off the top of my head) that a telecine of it pred about 14 months before it hit the theaters.

work prints are the most common form of pre theaters, but every once in a while someone gets their hand on the reel (sp?) and makes a copy before it arrives at the theaters. this is very very rare.
