Álex de la Iglesia Puzzles Over "The Oxford Murders"
06/16/09 Thanks to the questionable state of "Oxford"'s one-time American distributor ThinkFilm, the screening was one of few opportunities to see the Elijah Wood-John Hurt thriller on a U.S. big screen -- according to de la Iglesia, the film will be going direct to DVD.
