Film

“After the film debuted on January 24, 2005 at Sundance it was picked up by Warner Independent Pictures for distribution. The Warner Independent website had shown that the limited Fall release (I didn’t say ‘full release’) was scheduled for October 21st-with a wider release planned for the following weeks-but their Strangers With Candy page has since been removed. One of my contacts has informed me that his inside source at Warner Independent told him that Strangers With Candy ‘is no longer on our slate’. If you want to help, you and your friends can send email to press@warnerindependent.com to tell them that you want Candy!!!” - from jerriblank.com
