More news on the film The Linguists

I received the email from Ironbound Films, the production company behind The Linguists. The educational DVD looks like an exciting package, but it's $US300. Gulp.

[Update: in response to an email querying the price I got the following reply, "We do imagine releasing a consumer priced DVD in the future."]

* THE LINGUISTS educational DVD now available
* THE LINGUISTS screens worldwide
* President Bush views Ironbound video aboard the Intrepid

* President Bush views Ironbound video aboard the Intrepid

President George W. Bush reopened the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in a ceremony this Veterans Day. He toured past Ironbound’s 50-foot video wall “that makes you feel like you are at sea” and saw our short documentary about takeoff and landing. Mission accomplished! Check out http://wcbstv.com/topstories/intrepid.world.war.2.859600.html to see video of our video.

* Ironbound in production on two new feature hits

In our usual globetrotting, Ironbound returns from a Kenya shoot for “The New Recruits,” a documentary about social entrepreneurship funded by PBS through a grant from the Skoll Foundation; and now departs for exotic New Jersey, where we have secured exclusive access to “The Morton Downey Jr. Show,” not seen by the public in 20 years. Fasten your seatbelts for this yet-to-be titled blockbuster on the pioneer of trash TV.
