Director Uwe Boll has been busy trashing Michael Bay and scheduling boxing matches rather than concentrating on his upcoming movie “Postal.” It was scheduled to appear in 1,500 theaters on May 23rd and was going to go head-to-head with “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”

Apparently plans have changed. The film is now set to appear in only a handful of theaters. “Theatrical distributors are boycotting Postal because of its political content,” Boll said in a statement. “We were prepared to open on 1500 screens all across America on May 23rd. Any multiplex in the US should have space for us, but they’re afraid.”

Boll continued, “We have even tried to buy a few screens in New York and Los Angeles, and they won’t let us even rent the theaters! I urge independent exhibitors to contact us and book Postal! Audiences have been expecting the film and I don’t think exhibitors should censor what gets played in US theaters.”

This is not surprising, since on May 23rd, audiences can see such films as “Iron Man,” “Speed Racer,” “Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and many others. Why would a theater owner give up screens to show “Postal,” a movie made by a director whose films have consistently bombed. They could simply have more Indy showings.
