Days after the New York Daily News reported that "overlawyering" at Warner Bros. would result in the studio's decision to cancel the release of Strangers With Candy, Daily Variety has said that the film won't be released as scheduled on Oct. 21 "out of concern that the producers didn't secure all the needed rights, including for such items as posters and props." The company's specialty unit, Warner Independent Pictures, had reportedly bought Strangers from David Letterman's Worldwide Pants company for $3 million at this year's Sundance Film Festival. A source told the Daily News last week that other studios were ready to pick up the film if Warner's dropped it. The film, directed by Paul Dinello, stars Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert, with supporting performances from Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
