If this is the case that leads me to suspect that Kate really is following
the story line of _The Red Shoes_ in her video, especially as you can't
copyright titles.  Interesting--and in that case, it wouldn't make any
difference to change the title as the concept would still be there.  They
must be doing negotiations on that angle or it doesn't make sense.

Anyway, it sounds as though we have confirmation that _The Red Shoes_ is
going to be released everywhere but here in the U.S.  Boy I'm glad I've
planned a trip to Canada to visit my parents on the weekend of the 16th.
