I just caught the film tonight, on its penultimate evening in cinemas in the UK..... If I wasn't doing anything tomorrow night, I'd go and see it again, but I am, unfortunately, busy....

Will this commentary be on the DVD itself?

I really want to see it again - so here's waiting for the DVD to be released....

Hey, I am a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds, one of the reasons being we share the same name, but I am curious why this movie was not released throughout the US?

Will it ever be, or do I have to wait for the DVD? That would suck pretty bad:-.

It’s not big enough to be worth setting up a torrent for, but it’s mirrored here: http://erikandcolleen.com/thenines/

I also blogged this bad boy (and pinched the podcast art!) on ObsessedWithFilm.com. Good luck with The Nines, John!

Posted a notice about and link to your commentary over at our film blog, Twitch. I think this is a fantastic idea – can’t wait to see the movie (when it comes to Indiana!!!).

Thanks so much for making this available…hopefully The Nines will make its way to Denver at some point. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while.

Great idea! I wish more filmmakers were as interactive and including of their audience in the process of filmmaking. As an aspiring DP it is so refreshing to hear about the actual production of the film from the writer,director and crew members. I think it is a tribute to film as art rather than just entertainment for mass consumption. Thank you again for your contribution to the industry!

Suggestion: First nine minutes of movie on iFilm, first nine minutes of audio commentary from here. Worked nicely, now I can't wait to see/hear all of it.

Also, John, do you think you could release the audio commentary for Go on your site? I own the DVD & would love to have your commentary. Thanks.

Great idea!

BTW, I may have missed it, but I don't think you ever elaborated on the development of the poster for The Nines. You said, in the One Sheet post, that you were going to post about how it all came about. I'd love to hear how involved you were in the process, and what some of the marketing thoughts were. Clearly The Nines is a tough film to characterize and encapsulate in poster form. Would be interesting to hear how you all arrived at the poster you did.

The Kevin Smith commentary was recorded, but not "released" while the movie was in theaters, because, yeah, the theaters (or whoever runs them) thought it would be disruptive.

The commentary can be found on the Clerks 2 DVD, though it mostly mirrors the larger cast commentary that was done later.

Superb thing to do for the audience John, I'm looking forward to the film coming to the UK to have a listen too.

Kevin Smith's Clerks II audio commentary was pulled by the studio after there was a lot of pressure from the cinema owners. It seems they were concerned about other audience members.

My suggestion is get the earphones that fit snuggly inside your ears and then sit at the back. That's what I'll be doing.
