Green Movie in the Red
Story submitted by Kevin D Knoebel
The movie is The Green Inferno. NYC student activists travel to Amazon to save the rainforest, meet natives. Hilarity ensues.
It was suddenly pulled from the release schedule, and was supposed to be out September 5th. It’s said the financing company doesn’t have the money for the release:

Deadline is reporting that Green Inferno, the Roth-directed film about student activists who travel from Gotham to save the Amazon rainforest only to be pursued by a cannibal tribe, has been taken off Open Road’s release calendar. The film was scheduled for wide release on September 5. We’ve been supporting the film heavily here on the site after we posted this positive review last September.
They write that this happened because financier Worldview Entertainment is balking at ex-CEO Christopher Woodrow’s commitment to provide the P&A.
This is a very important movie to showcase the joys of being a student activist who has traveled to underdeveloped countries to help indigenous people combat the effects of climate change and greedy multinational corporations.
I suggest we should petition the distributor to hold a Kickstarter to fund the release. As the incentive gift for donors, I propose an e-booklet (to save the trees) filled with info for combating the real myths about climate change.

>Perhaps they went to save the rainforest from being destroyed by multinational corporations who were clearing huge swathes to plant palm oil crops to meet the EU’s biofuel targets.
You will be pleased to know that this year it is raining unseasonably during burning season (now) and this may delay the expansion of the biodiesel plantations by a year. It is also helping to keep Singapore air much cleaner than last year. It rained mightily in Jakarta last evening. Every drop helps limit the damage caused by European biofuels policies that subsidise the madness.
For a more light-hearted replacement, I can recommend watching a very young Don Johnson with Jason Robards in ‘A Boy and His Dog’.
I would much, much, rather have J. Stanton’s “Gnoll Credo” being made into a movie. Now there is a story that would be good for laughs and insights, while making the self-appointed popes of Gaïa cower in fear.

The basic idea of the movie seems to be stolen from “State of Fear” …
This is the book (2004) that pushed me over “the tipping point” on the subject of AGW idiocy.
I have often thanked Crichton (may he RIP) for his many contributions to … well … me! .. in terms of entertainment and edification.
