Where's Bruge? What is Bruges? Think a smaller Amsterdam without the illegal stuff replaced by fries, beer and postcard setting. Just a couple of days ago, the Sundance Film Fest announced the opening film for their 2008 edition - the to-be-released on February 8th hit man comedy by Focus Features is the feature film debut from Martin McDonagh (the winner for Oscar for best short film Six Shooter).

If the film was kept intact then it is perhaps the strongest reason why Lionsgate Films and the The Weinstein Company who co-bought the pic didn't know how to handle it.

It just opened this weekend in the big apple and shall spread its angel wings and land in other theaters across the U.S in the weeks and pre-Xmas days ahead, and just before we conclude our coverage (last week IONCINEMA.com's Laura Newman interviewed doc filmmaker Rob VanAlkemade and we had fun unwrapping the trailer) we are featuring a n exclusive clip of What Would Jesus Buy?.
