Release date confirmed!! (or is it?)

[Dave]

The usually trustworthy Internet Movie Database now has a release date listed for This Is England in the UK....

The 27th April 2007!

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

UPDATE:
The Optimum Releasing website seems to confirm this date:

Woah. Right, well at least now I have an answer to the question I get asked daily.

[PatrickCoyle]

I think Shane said it was gonna be around St George's Day, so the 27th seems likely!

[RydCook]

I expected earlier! (but why am i complaining?! i am one of the lucky few who's seen it!) But yay for knowing the date!

[Kezz]

Have We Yet Any Word on Weather its going to be shown in all cinema's in the country?

Like as in Odeon's, UGC's, Cineworld's, Showcases's etc..

I can confirm this- just checked the Optimum Releasing (UK distributor) website:

Release date: 27/04/07

It's 1983, and the schools are breaking up for summer. Shaun is 12 and a bit of a loner, growing up with his mum in a grim coastal town. On his way home from school where he's been tormented all day for wearing flares, he runs into a group of skinheads, who against expectations turn out to be friendly and take him under their wing. Soon Shaun discovers parties, girls and snappy dressing, and finds some role models in Woody, Milky and the rest of the gang. But when an older, overtly racist skinhead returns home from prison, the easy camaraderie of the group is broken, and Shaun is drawn into much more uncomfortable territory. Based largely on his own experience as a youngster, this is Shane Meadows' most mature and fully realised film.

Bring it on!

Cinemas have to be booked well in advance, JT. Also, the distributor monitors what will be released around the same time, to ensure their film makes the optimum (pardon the pun) revenue.

[Davros]

They also need all the glory they can get after all this racist/bullying crap.
