The film was originally intended for being released theatrically in November 2007, but due to final edits and music rights, it was delayed until November 2008 in October 2007. The movie’s official painting was created throughout 2007. The movie was in production by March 2007. The film was released direct to video in the United States on November 11, 2008.
