Love it!

That's a good one!

MindVault just posted this on IMDb (though his link doesn't work for me):

Just read this people. I'm not happy. In fact, I'm most saddened by this news:
[url]http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/stor … l_Produces _Talk_New_Cut_113187.asp[/url]
if you can't be bothered, here's what it says...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fanboys Original Producers Talk New Cut
Posted By Mike on March 16, 2008
Our friend Guillaume sent in the following:
"Two producers of Fanboys (not the Weinstein ones, the producers who were working on the project before it was pick up by the Weinstein company) have decided to talk about the new cut of the movie on their vodcast. (TriggerStreetTV)
First, they think the new cut is not that bad and they hope fans will go see this version to make their own opinion. Second and good news, the cancer version of the film will be on the DVD for sure."

In addition, the fellows do mention that the Weinstein boycott will hurt those who put their hearts and souls into the movie much more than it will hurt the Weinsteins. These produces were very much against the changes and still admit that the new cut is a very different film than the original concept. Again, they do admit that the new cut is still a fun film. Oh, well. At this point, I'm sick of the drama so bring on the DVD so everyone can see the cut of the film that they prefer!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I don't think the last comment is needed at all. I think it's quite nonchalant, hurtful and unnecessary. Some Star Wars fan. Looks (right now anyway)we lost big time. So much for principle.

It doesn't say they've decided yet, does it? I don't have much hope left, though. If they say the cancer version will be on the DVD, that's at least something to look forward to. If they really go with the Corporate Cut, then I most probably won't bother watching it in theaters and just wait for the damn DVD.

And, I mean, "not that bad"?? Hello??? Why would they spend $2 mil extra on something that'll then turn out "not so bad". Hell of an accomplishment, guys.

That sucks. But at least we will see the original on DVD. I agree I totally had faith that we would somehow beat the odds and win. Anything about a release date? Didn't we hear March I while back. I guess thats a bit too optimistic now.

TeeJay · 16 Mar 08 :: 21:49

March is definitely not happening. It didn't open this weekend and it's not slated for next weekend. The weekend after is Weinstein's Superhero Movie release, they'd never release Fanboys on the same day. Besides, there's been zero promotion. It's looking more and more likely that we'll be looking at a late summer or fall release now. I'd be surprised if we saw the movie hit the theaters before July or August.

WHO said that? There were no names. Was it Matt and what's the other guy's name, Mark? Funny that Kyle & Ernie were behind us all the way and these guys say it'll hurt the people behind the original. Those guys are friends with Kyle! This sounds like utter bullshit to me, guys. I want names.

TeeJay · 16 Mar 08 :: 22:07

Go and ask MindVault. I only reposted what he posted.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 17 Mar 08 :: 02:27

I looked into it. And posted this on IMDb...

One of those guys is Dana Brunetti, Spacey's partner in creating TriggerStreet. The other guy is Evan Astrowsky. I don't know anything about him. They are listed as producers on the movie, but I don't know how much they did, hands-on. And the fact is TriggerStreet sold the movie to the Weinsteins and has no say in what happens to it now. I couldn't watch the vlog because my POS computer hates QuickTime. But I can tell you this, Matt Perniciaro and Kevin Mann were the hands-on producers of Fanboys. And they're on our side. These guys probably know what they're talking about as far as what will be done with the movie, but they DO NOT speak for Kyle Newman, Ernie Cline, Adam Goldberg, or the rest of the people who poured blood, sweat, tears and years into this thing. They want us to see the real movie. These guys speak for the suits.

This may be good news...

The last I heard, (I am working on the film), all post had been halted until they figured out what to do with the film. George was unhappy about no cancer and Weinstein walked in and "unlocked" the picture. More pickups to be shot? Who knows.
More as I know it.

We were hoping Lucas would step in. Looks like he mighth've finally done so. Eat that, Fat Bastard!

domesticelefant · 19 Mar 08 :: 19:35

What does that mean, Weinstein "walked out and unlocked the picture"? Tina, translation please?

But haha, it makes me happy that George Lucas doesn't like the movie without cancer. :devil:

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Mar 08 :: 21:28

Nobody knows what that means. I asked the poster what he meant but no reply yet.

domesticelefant · 19 Mar 08 :: 21:37

Ah, ok.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Mar 08 :: 22:59

"Picture Locked" or "Locked Cut" is the final cut, no more changes. So it looks like Fat Bastard was forced to "unlock" his precious no-plot recut at Mr. George Lucas's behest. Bow down, Harvey. All the way down. Muwaaaahhhahhhhaaaaaaa!

Donna · 20 Mar 08 :: 00:54

whoo hoo! I am afraid to get too excited though. Let's just keep the faith.:D

Susanna · 20 Mar 08 :: 05:48

woohoo indeed, but yes, a cautious woohoo is probably best.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Mar 08 :: 15:21

A second person who sounds like he knows what he's talking about posted more or less the same thing on IMDb last night. Looks like it's for real. Of course this means another pushback. But if we get something closer to the real movie this way, I'm OK with it.

Donna · 20 Mar 08 :: 17:50

me too

TheCentralScrutinizer · 20 Mar 08 :: 17:59

And we can all be proud for taking a stand.

Chnyst · 20 Mar 08 :: 18:26

If this true, it is awesome news. I was curious how the REAL GL felt about all this and it's good to hear he has an opinion on it. and if he isn't happy about a project dealing with Star Wars, then it's not gonna happen.

That would be cool if they would "unlock" the picture (again).

Is anyone else worried that maybe Lucas said they couldn't use the Lucasfilm material in the no-plot version so they've reopened the film in order to remove all the sound effects, visuals, etc that they had originally gotten permission to use?

... now we are!

Yeah, great. Does anybody think Fat Bastard is so much in love with the no plot version that he would rather have it without the Lucasfilm material than the real movie WITH all that stuff? If he's really that stupid, he deserves to lose his studio, which is not too long from happening.

domesticelefant · 21 Mar 08 :: 13:36

Uh-oh!
I hope he's not!

Simon · 21 Mar 08 :: 14:38

I just don't know if to have hope for the film or not anymore.
