So I just found out originally the movie was suppose to be release on November 2, but then Paramount pushed it back to December 14. The reason being is Paramount wanted the kids in this movie to be safe when it releases. There was a controversial rape scene that some find it very offensive. All I know is that I really want to see this movie and if you all haven't heard about this movie, please preview the trailer at www.kiterunnermovie.com
