Remember last week, when the producers behind the Paul Bettany movie Creation were blaming American fundamentalist Christians? And remember how I kinda figured it was because it wasn't any good, given the largely bored response at Toronto?

Now the producers will have to find something else to blame for their movie's lack of success; Newmarket Films has picked up Creation for distribution, according to THR. The indie distributor plans to put the movie in theaters around Christmas, which is good timing for the kind of movie that would want Oscar buzz, but hilarious given the fact that Christians are bound to hate it. Now we'll see if they can combat the bad Toronto buzz between now and the December release.
