I am sure you all have found out about the movie that Elijah Wood is in called "Hooligans". It is set to play in the UK in August. I have found out that the movie is at the moment being prevented from being played here In the USA. The distributors do not believe that there is an audience for it.

There is a petition that will be sent to the distributors in less than a month, proving that there are americans who want to see it. So I strongly suggest that everyone sign this. Seriously, everyone you know, sign this petition.

http://www.petitiononline.com/lexi/petition.html

Please Sign! I really want to see this movie, and have been looking forward to seeing it since I read the article in last summer's Four Four Two Magazine. It gives us even more incentive over here to see it now that West Ham United is back in the Premiership (Congratulations on that). I really think that this movie can help out West Ham's fanbase across the pond here. People over here cling onto publicity and celebrities. And if Elijah Wood is a West Ham fan, and it is publicized here, there will be more West Ham Fans. And the movie is supposed to be very good, and I think will make more fans over here of soccer, the premiership, and of West Ham.

This could be instrumental to help the growing interest in soccer over here. And believe me, in the past couple years, soccer interest; especially English footie interest has boomed.

Please, have everyone you know sign this petition. Thank you for your time.

Welcome to the Premiership!

Just read that "Hooligans" is being renamed "Green Street" in the UK. West Ham objected to being so closely related to a film called "Hooligans." Can't really blame them. Can't see this getting play in the U.S. either. Best get a multi-region dvd player and sit tight.
