Tomas Alfredson's "The Snowman" Might Be In A Little Bit of Trouble

Just received my press screening invite to Tomas Alfredson's "The Snowman," and, folks, whatever expectations you might have had for this film, well, I'd lower them a bit if I were you. The film will screen for press on the 18th, but, here's the gimme, there's a review embargo until the 19th at 9pm. The film has its release on the 20th. YIKES! This shows the lack of confidence Universal has with this movie. The funny part about this whole American embargo is that "The Snowman" is actually being released on the 13th, a whole week earlier, in Europe. Yeah, that’s a red flag.
