Obviously when they said "out next year" they meant something different to what we mean.
Perhaps they will release it at the SunDance film festival.
I don't get all your jokes (from the OP to this one).
You act as though The Principle's release date has been moved at all.
I heard about this movie in April I think -- when we had several threads about it. They gave a release date -- I believe it was this fall. That time hasn't arrived yet.
I wasn't aware that the release date has become a moving target, a "Lucy and Charlie Brown Football", or a running joke.
I just looked it up, and I was right:
A small screening was held in April 2014 and the release date is September 19, 2014.

It's not September yet. Patience. You'll get to see it soon enough.
