How much? It's up to the Administrator, who is unlikely to make a ruling unless the work gets sufficient nominations to make the ballot. (Remember, administrators hate hypothetical cases.) There are exceptions: John Lorentz made a prospective ruling about the special editions of the _Star Wars_ movies. (Ruling: insufficient new material to consider the work as new.)

Does that make a difference? How much has to change to make it a different film?

Sorry about that.

It was first released in 2007 when it was making the rounds at film festivals, but didn't receive widespread distribution until 2009. Would that be eligible? Adrienne
