Lionsgate and Marshall Support New 'DESCENT' Ending

Fangoria.com reports that with the rumors that have been flying around the web that Lionsgate has trimmed "The Decent�s" final haunting minutes for Stateside audiences�and they�re not wrong - for the first time, Lionsgate president of production Peter Block talks exclusively to Fango about the decision-making process behind the new ending, which had the wholehearted blessing and involvement of Neil Marshall himself.

�When Neil wrote the script for "The Descent," even he wasn�t sure where he wanted to end the movie, because there are two very emotional beats [that close the film],� says Block. �He [originally] ended it in a way that gives it an intellectual and downbeat approach, but he always wondered how it would play with an ending that had a different impact.�

So we are now looking at a fall release�probably mid-September, but I don�t have an exact date yet.�
