This is really strange - as all the mags here are posting reviews and I saw the trailer in the theatre even yesterday. The trailer showed 5th february..Must have been ANOTHER last second decision. I really, really wonder about the reason..

Did you mean March?

The only reason I could think of is the synchronisation...

No, the trailer had february 5th underneath - and I think the synchro is ready - they set up the filom here with the promotion and all - its just strange what they keep doing to this film - strange and NOT good

I'm confused of this permanent postponing...

What the hell does they do with the film when everything is ready??????????

Bond auf Abwegen

"James Bond" auf Abwegen: Craig in "Defiance"

Daniel Craig, der Mann mit der Lizenz zum Frauenverführen, der muskelgestählte Actionstar mit dem heißkalten Blick, der seinen Sexappeal stets „on the rocks“, sprich männlich-unterkühlt, auf die Leinwand hievt, will sich nicht restlos festlegen, auch wenn die schauspielerischen Obliegenheiten im Dienste Ihrer Majestät für die nächsten Jahre akkurat abgezirkelt sind. Nur noch James Bond zu sein genügt ihm nicht! Zu multidimensional ist die Bandbreite seines Könnens, geerdet in Londoner Bühnenerfahrung und dem immer neuen Selbstversuch, Grenzen auszuloten. Die diffizile Rolle eines jüdischen Partisanenkämpfers in den Wirren des Zweiten Weltkrieges, mit der er den kontroversen Politfilm „Defiance“ adelt, war ihm ein Herzensanliegen.

In „Defiance“ spielt Craig den Anführer einer während des Zweiten Weltkrieges in den Wäldern Weißrusslands hausenden Partisanentruppe. Ein Filmstoff, der auch die hochsensible Thematik des Holocaust in verstörenden Bildern aufgreift. Regie führte Edward Zwick („Blood Diamond“), der seinem Star Rosen streut: „Daniel Craig hat eine ungeheure physische und mentale Präsenz. Sein Charisma entzündet sich auch ohne die Bond’sche Smartness. Er ist ein Alpha-Wolf, wie Tuvia, der Partisanenkämpfer in ‚Defiance‘“.
Craig, der Brite mit den markanten Gesichtszügen, sieht seinen Part als Gratwanderung zwischen unbedingtem Überlebenswillen und dem notwendigen diktatorischen Gespür, Menschen in absoluter Ausweglosigkeit zu einer funktionierenden Gemeinschaft zu formieren. Denn als Anführer einer jüdischen Partisanengruppe hat Tuvia Bielski nicht nur die militärische, sondern auch moralische Verantwortung für rund 1.200 im Wald versteckte Menschen.
„Jerusalem“ in freier Natur
Der historische Hintergrund: Die Bielski-Brüder Tuvia, Zus und Asael waren einer Massenexekution von 4.000 Juden entkommen. Was als bewaffneter Widerstand in den Wäldern begann, entwickelte sich zum gut getarnten Auffanglager jüdischer Flüchtlinge und Partisanen. Getarnt mit Zweigen und Moos, entsteht im Unterholz in echter Pionierarbeit eine Art „Jerusalem“ in freier Natur, mit Handwerksbetrieben, einer Bäckerei und einem Badehaus, ja sogar einem Theater und einer Synagoge. Zum geregelten Überlebenssystem gehörte es, sich eine „Waldfrau“oder einen „Waldmann“ zu nehmen, hatten doch viele ihre Ehepartner verloren.
Daniel Craig: „Gefahr und zwischenmenschliche Leidenschaft sind Verbündete! Weil die Momente der Nähe so kostbar sind!“ In der Mitstreiterin Lilka – Alexa Davalos – findet Tuvia die Liebe seines Lebens
Mit seinem von Paparazzi beäugten „Leben in der Vitrine“ hadert Daniel Craig bisweilen immer noch. Craig: „Wenn ich irgendwo gemütlich im Pub sitze, dauert es nur wenige Minuten, bis Fotografen auftauchen. Ich hab inzwischen gelernt, meine Pints schnell hinunterzustürzen und dann abzuhauen!“ („Defiance“, ab April in unseren Kinos)
Von Christina Krisch, Kronen Zeitung

Nothing new, but a good review and it says about Daniel
"DC has an enormous physical and mental presence and his charisma doesn´t need the Bond to shine. He is an alpha wulf, like Tuvia"

Defiance is all over the place - only thing missing is the film

Good German interview

Will read through it later and see, if something worthwhile has to be translated ..

After the delay of the release of Defiance here in Germany they now announce that the movie will hit the cinemas with a different title
"Unbeugsam - Defiance" but it's not a literal translation. "unbeugsam" is more like rigid or unrelenting

Is that the reason of the postponing?

But "unbeugsam" is also fitting, I think... and now the average german cinema viewer might not be put off by an english title...

Hmm, yes, that could be the reason - the average German probably doesn't know how to pronounce "Defiance", so that might be a bit of an impediment.

I'm wondering why they didn't see that before though, they could have changed the title right away.

A bit off topic and only funny for the Germans, but do you remember the movie 'The Verdict'? Two girls went to the cinema with a friend of mine and ordered tickets: "Zweimal verdickt bitte."
