Darwin movie Creation can't find US distributor:

http://www.getthebigpicture.net/blog...stributor.html

So let's see if I've got this straight: We can have movies about serial killers about once a month, and we can have movies that glorify violence, drug use, and general debauched behavior, and America doesn't even shrug. But a movie about Charles Darwin is just beyond the pale.

TheTorontoFestival entry, oddly titled Creation, stars Paul Bettany as the noted naturalist and father of the evolutionary theory, and according to The Telegraph, US distributors aren't anxious to pick up rights to the film.

"The film has no distributor in America," confesses producer Jeremy Thomas. "It has got a deal everywhere else in the world but in the US, and it's because of what the film is about. People have been saying this is the best film they've seen all year, yet nobody in the US has picked it up."
