Hi Gary,
I'm thrilled that this movie is doing so well; the film is a gem. Like you, I watched a downloaded screener copy, a fact of which I'm not proud. As a huge Western fan I will def. pay to see this film at the cinema when it arrives here, but I wish it had been released in the UK at the same time as the US, so we could have seen it over Xmas.
I think this is a big problem that the movie industry should address; it's too much temptation for somebody who has been waiting ages to see a movie not to seek it out elsewhere if it's not available at the cinema. I of course want to encourage this type of movie.
You are an actor I believe, so have a vested interest in this - what do you think?

Couldn't agree more. These day having staggered release dates in utterly stupid. I mean if someone, like myself and you by the sound of it, have been waiting months to see this the temptation of watching a screener of via the bad old web is too great to resist. I however will be there on opening day in the UK and will be taking my little ones along. I thought the film was excellent even if I do prefer the original.
