Speculates Liberal politicans and 20th Century Fox/News Corp consider Chopper controversial and have thus abandoned involvement. |
| Synopsis |
Refers to a piece in Variety about 20th Century Fox breaking its agreement to subdistribute Chopper and speculates reasons behind their withdrawal and the impact on the future of Australian film distribution.
The agreement was broken by Fox's LA office raising issues about the power (or lack of it) of the Australian Fox team, the possibility that Fox may have withdrawn because of Chopper's controversy raising the possibility that a deal was made between Liberal politicans or lobby groups and the News Corp empire. It advises anyone seeking Fox as a distributor to ensure all contracts are watertight and warns against a future where all film distributors in Australia are foreign owned. |
