The Playlist spotted an item from Exhibitor Relations that brings some surprising news: Fox Searchlight will finally open Kenneth Lonergan's "Margaret" on September 30. The long lost film has been sitting on a shelf for a very long time. How long? So long that when casting announcements were made, Anna Paquin was still working on "X-Men: The Last Stand" -- and it was still called "X3." So long that people were already writing "Where is Kenneth Lonergan's 'Margaret?'" articles three years ago. Shooting originally wrapped in 2005.
Since then, the film has been bogged down in years of edits and re-edits, and numerous contentious lawsuits between Lonergan, the studio, and various other production and insurance entities. The whole sordid affair -- or at least the whole sordid affair circa 2009 -- can be found in the Los Angeles Times article "Kenneth Lonergan's 'Margaret': post-production in a courtroom," which outlines the main reason that the film is just now coming out six years after principal photography: "Lonergan [couldn't] finish the film."
