Does anyone know why the Bartman doc. was cancelled?


Is it true that it was cancelled because Bartman refused to participate? I would think that the director would have secured a promise from Bartman before ESPN would have given the documentary a green light. Does anyone know what happened???

I have read that it has been postponed until 2011, not canceled.

They needed more time to finish it; according to some sources, it was originally cut to 60 minutes, but ESPN asked the filmmaker to make it 90 minutes, so it needs to be re-edited.

Sharmster, thanks dude. That makes more sense. I just hope that they don't freakin' make us wait until Oct/Nov. of 2011 to watch it. This was one of the 30 for 30 docs, which I was really excited about.
