So does anyone out there know the plot and is willing to provide a
summary of the film hidden by spoiler text as currently the release
date has been narrowed down to 2016-Red Giant phase of the sun.

Start reading... right about post 153 on page 8
of this thread. Look for posts from our ever-present Saint

I have read those posts before. My guess based on these and a
handful of other bits of information from the IMDB cast/character
list makes me think this ends like

NEWS! #SAMTheMovie will be at AFI FEST presented by Audi ! Join
us November 9th at the historic at TCL Chinese Theatres in LA!
The Chinese Theater � A Few Words From Sam�s Director
The entire Sam team wishes to thank the AFI Fest festival directors
for their decision to host Sam�s festival premiere in the legendary
Chinese Theater. If Hollywood � old and new � has a capital, it is
this iconic and beautiful theater. Among its founders are Mary
Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Sr. Anna May Wong, an early star of
the silver screen, drove the first rivet in the theater�s steel
girders. Declared a landmark in 1968, The Chinese Theater �
formerly known as Grauman�s Chinese Theater, and later Mann�s
Chinese Theater � hosted three Academy Awards ceremonies � in 1944,
1945, and 1946. Among the films that have premiered there are the
1929 Howard Hughes spectacle Hell�s Angels, C.B. DeMille�s King of
Kings, and a rather obscure little sci fi film called Star Wars.
The Chinese Theater, a major Los Angeles tourist attraction, is not
only celebrated for its beautiful Asian themed architecture and
d�cor, but also the foot and handprints of so many of Hollywood�s
brightest luminaries (including the six-fingered imprint of our own
executive producer). There, one can see � preserved in cement - the
eyeglasses of Harold Lloyd, the cigar of Groucho Marx, and � yes �
Harry Potter�s very own wand, courtesy of Daniel Radcliffe. Today,
the Chinese Theater continues to attract some of Hollywood�s
biggest and brightest stars. Presenting Sam there will be both an
honor and a delight and we, the Samsters, look forward to sharing
our work in this incredible venue.

I know it's expensive to watch a movie at the theater these days...
but adding a round-trip ticket to LA - preposterous! :-)
Thanks for the continued updates Saint.
I just hope that we don't have to wait too long to see it in a
theater near me... or on video.

I spent a week at a major film fest a year ago and some buyers
agreed that they needed low cost original content, as they were
just re-running stuff over and over.
It is hard to believe all the cable and satellite networks would
turn down this story by the son of Mel Brooks with Morgan Fairchild
and Stacy Keach apprising roles.
There is a gay character in almost every TV show these days. But I
guess transgender is still taboo.

On the Sam facebook page someone asked when the movie will be
available and they said that they hope to have announcements very
soon.
Maybe there is a need for a Sam 2016 thread? ;)

You have got to be kidding. It is everywhere in media.

The release of this movie reminds me of that Anna Paquin movie
Darkness. It took forever for that movie to come out in America. It
came out overseas in 2002 but didn't come to America until late
2004. I just wonder if Sam will have the same fate. If it's taken
this long, why not just send it to on demand and DVD already and
forget trying to get it on the big screen? The market just isn't
there.

Honestly, Zerophilia, a low budget, TG transformation film in a
similar league as Sam has more visual polish and (slightly) better
performances that probably lead to it getting picked up for
distribution. SAM is good TG movie but probably a hard sell. It's
got some nice cameos by some big names and a wonderful lead
performance but its also a little old fashion. The movie is a must
see for TG fans but it is not the best. It's just a sweet story
simply told. I'm looking forward to purchasing a copy if it ever
gets released but temper your expectations.

Hey saint, since you have seen it already, and I am getting tired
of waiting, any chance you would email me a brief message about how
the movie ends? That's what I am most curious about, as a
comparison to the previous tropes and other movies etc. Email would
be yoyobowl2002@yahoo.com

Guest cj -- you might be able to get some idea of the ending by
starting around post 153 on page 8
of this thread.
It's been awhile, and I can't remember how many spoilers were
given... but you may find what you're looking for while you wait.

cj -- yeah ive been following the thread for awhile. however, Saint
doesn't actually explain it but just gives some hints that many
people may be bothered by it. I am looking for a straight up answer
if possible since who knows if/when we will ever get to see it
