The Imposter-Looks good

Kevin Max of Dc Talk, Jeff Deyo (ex-SonicFlood) and Kerry Livgren of Kansas are staring in a movie coming out called The Imposter. Looks good.

Looks promising.

I agree. Alldat posted about this very film in the Warped Drive/General discussion section last week.

Definately looks like something I would/could probably dig.

If it comes to a theater near me, I'll check it out. If not, I'll probably pick up the DVD.

Now I wonder if you can watch the American DVD's?

You cannot. DVDs here are encoded as Region 1. European DVDs are Region 2. Unless you have a DVD player that recognizes different regions, then they are not compatable.

You would have to wait until the DVD is released in Holland to be able to watch it on your DVD player. Your computer might play it, but it is doubtful.

This is bummer.
When it worked to play American DVD's on my DVD player I was able to order more Christian DVD's.

Do they not release these in a Region setting for Europeans? Perhaps you should search and see if there are any placing on your side of the planet that sell Christian DVDs.

you can watch any region dvd on your computer, using anydvd.

if you have a standalone player, some cheap ones will play other regions ones as well, in my experience anyways. Some you can hack to play other regions as well.

I am really interested in watching Christian DVD's.
So I have to check out if I can order them in my regio.
And I have to figure out if I have a standalone player.

A standalone player is a normal DVD player. In other words, not a PC. I'd think you'd have the easiest time watching DVDs from other regions on the PC.

My guess is, the movie will be shown in select theaters, receive a run (probably not do so well at the box office) but be a hit on DvD.

The only way it would really be a hit in the theaters is for the movie company to really set up a grass roots campaign to market this in churches similar to how Mel Gibson did with "The Passion Of The Christ" or Sherwood Pictures did "Facing The Giants".

More than likely that is what they will do but still would be a huge risk for a bunch of theaters to show it. I hope they do because the message seems powerful. Wonder if they will release a soundtrack to this and just how "rockin" the music is. I know that Kevin Max's solo stuff doesn't really fit into the rock mold. Seems like the band portrayed in the movie is more along the lines of a "modern rock" band and that wouldn't be so bad.
