Yes, (for instance) reason.com and thefreelibrary.com are independent organisations, but we're not hearing them: they are reporting, in identical words, what Rob Pfaltzgraff of MPI told them. All these sources come back to the producers; nobody has anything 585:

Moving the goalposts since Crystal and NFF were dismissed? Nahhhhh... you are just showing a well respected concern for the article's notibility or lack. I can't ignore the MPI cites, for they cannot be lumped together with sites at Sony about a Sony film or sites at TriStar about a TriStar film.

You see "the blogosphere exploding with questions... " I'm afraid I see promoters who haven't got a release arranged planting their press release in as many blogs as possible, hoping to stir up interest. It's not Knowledge (XXG)'s job to help them.
