    No, we do not agree that it's a scam.

    It may be a scam and it certainly looks risky, but other than that 'we' can't say (google isn't alive with many complaints anyway).

    If you're unhappy about it just set the mails to junk status and forget about it.

    And don't tart your email around so much next time.

    Well, at least it's a real film. Joss Ackland, Peter O'Toole, Steven Berkoff, Edward Fox. I'm guessing that they just ran out of money for their first film. It cost 12million to make so anything less than 6 million on promotion etc would be a waste. I'm guessing that they are scared it will be lost when it releases this Christmas.

    All sounds good till you read this

    and other articles like it.
