The movie was shot mostly in 05, with pre-production and planning usually starting two or more years before that.
It doesn't seem likely that anybody could have foreseen in 2002 or 2003 that an anti-Mormon movie released in 2007 would be helpful to Hilary's candidacy.
I don't doubt Hollywood would do anything it could to help her, I just doubt this movie's timing is an example.
Oh please there were rumblings in those days when Mitt was Gov about running for president I even heard him way before he announced on the Monica Crowley they hoped that he would run and many knew there would be a good chance.
BTW it took a long time to release this movie being from 05!
IMHO

Fine, it was shot in ‘05. Why couldn’t it have been released in ‘06, or perhaps last winter? Why wait until the nomination race gets hot?
It appears to me that the movie was not produced in response to Romney’s run; but it is very suspicious that it was held in reserve for at least a year so that its release happened to coincide with Romney’s run.
This leads me to conclude that its release is intended partly to cast aspersions on Romney as a candidate.

Well, I have liked Romney ever since he and his team pulled off the Utah Winter Olympic Games without a hitch. That was post 9-11, and smooth as silk. I wouldn’t be surprised if some political strategist developed a scenario in some war room somewhere that such a movie as this might be great to have in a hip pocket just in case, not just for HEllary, but any Dimwitocrat.
Don’t be naive.
