Fanboys

This is ridiculous. By the time they release the movie finally nobody will be interested in it anymore.

TeeJay · 12 May 07 :: 21:57

Yeah, well, we'll try to get some inside scoop from various sources. I'd like to know what's up with the latest pushback. There better be a damn good reason. I'm not angry, I've resigned. I just don't wanna keep my hopes up anymore, so maybe if I expect an April 2009 release, they might pleasantly surprise me with a September 2008 one. Meaning that by the time it hits the theaters, nobody will remember this movie.

domesticelefant · 12 May 07 :: 21:58

I expect something like December 2012. Ha ha ha. :doh:

R2Roswell · 12 May 07 :: 22:10

They are so lame. This movie is a must see for Chris fans as well as Star Wars fans in general yet they keep pushing it back. The next thing you know they just won't show it at all. :angry: They need to pull their heads out of their butts so they can see better.

domesticelefant · 12 May 07 :: 22:13

Not to mention the Kristen Bell fans ... I heard rumors that Veronica Mars has been cancelled. I don't know if that is true but I bet her fans like to see the movie as much as we want.

:rofl: That's quite true! LOL

TheCentralScrutinizer · 12 May 07 :: 23:03

I'm resigned too. TeeJay, I like your idea of hoping for April 2009, and maybe we'll get September '08. Sounds about right to me at this rate. Or maybe we should just say the 12th Of Never and be done with it.

R2Roswell · 12 May 07 :: 23:07

And it's so stupid of them. They start advertising this movie really early on and then the fans get all pumped and what not only then they back out and decide, 'oh we're going to wait a little while longer.' Before advertising, they should at least have the dates set correctly without any back fires.:angry:

From /Film:

Kevin Smith did NOT direct/delay Fanboys
Posted on Monday, April 23rd, 2007 at 2:11 pm by: Peter Sciretta

Last week we relayed a quote from Fanboys star Chris Marquette, who claimed that the film had been delayed due to sound effects rights and a cameo from Clerks director Kevin Smith.

"Kevin Smith had seen it, and [he] came in and was like, 'Oh, man. I love it.' So they let him write and direct one of his own scenes in it. So they added that in," co star Chris Marquette revealed. He went on to also blame George Lucas for the film's delay.

We were extremely excited to receive an e-mail from Kevin Smith, who added a little needed clarification.

"That's not exactly true. Scott Mosier, my longtime producer, was brought in to reedit the flick. Based on his involvement, I jumped in for a quick cameo during a re-shoot day that'd been scheduled long before I'd ever seen the flick. While I did write the scene, I didn't direct it," Smith wrote. "The flick's good - I don't wanna give the impression it's not."

"I just wanted to make sure I didn't get credit I didn't deserve, as far as directing my scene; that was Scott Mosier (as Kyle [Newman], the director of the flick, was busy on the Revenge of the Nerds remake during the Fanboys pick-ups). I only got the chance to be in the flick because Harvey Weinstein asked me to do the cameo during the pick-ups re-shoot."

So there you have it, direct from the Kevin Smith's keyboard.

I knew that was bullstuffing. There, see, the Smith cameo was done LAST YEAR. So WTF is going on?

This just in from Kyle Newman.

"Fanboys has been delayed. As a Star Wars fan, I am devastated. Fanboys is the love letter to the greatest movie franchise of all time. And this year marks the 30th Anniversary. I wanted the film to be my gift back to Star Wars and to the fan community. But ultimately the shift in release will be a good thing for the movie. We made Fanboys for under five million dollars. And the studio has given us the go-ahead to do the things to it that we couldnt do with our initial limited schedule and budget. There are one or two hilarious things that I wanted to shoot and they are giving me the funds to do it. Which is great!!! As a filmmaker, it's not often someone says -- here's more money - what else do you want to do? But that's the situation we are in. Unfortunately, I dont get the actors back together for four months! (The one drawback to having such a hot young cast at the top of their game.) But rest assured fans won't escape Fanboys this year. We kick it off with our presence at Celebration IV in a big way (sneak-peaking scenes, releasing our prequel comic book and teaser poster)... then we will heat things up at the San Diego Comic-Con in July. And from there we just keep building toward January. I am so excited to unleash this movie. It's going to be huge!"

TheCentralScrutinizer · 17 May 07 :: 18:47

Well, OK, that sounds better. I can live with that. If it's about scheduling the talent for more stuff, I'm cool.

Thanks Sean!

domesticelefant · 17 May 07 :: 18:47

This is at least a reason I can understand. Thanks for posting that here, Sean.

Chnyst · 17 May 07 :: 21:38

Thanks guys.
Sorry I meant to post the link:

It does suck to have to wait, but I think it's cool that the studio is giving them more money to film some new scenes.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 17 May 07 :: 21:53

This may sound cynical, but it's cool IF that's the truth. If it's not a case of, "you guys need to go back and reshoot parts of this thing because it just doesn't work". I really wonder what it is that they're going to shoot. Keep your ear to the ground, Sean. Maybe we'll get some more details soon.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.

TeeJay · 17 May 07 :: 22:56

Oh wow, that's at least a very good reason to postpone the movie. So Chris is going to go back to shoot more Fanboys stuff after he's finished with Infestation, I guess. Well, at least he'll be just as buffed up and healthy looking then as he was when they shot the movie back in 2006.

Found a pic I've never seen on the Mountain Garrison website:

There's a pic of you and Kyle on that page too, Sean. These friends of yours?

Chnyst · 17 May 07 :: 23:39

Hey, that's my 501st Legion picture album! lol.

Yea, "Hairlesswookiee" is my screen name over there and I had posted a few pics on the site after some shooting. I could've sworn I had included these pics on that disc I burnt for you guys, but maybe a few slipped through the cracks.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 May 07 :: 01:15

We posted all the behind the scenes pics that we had in the gallery. That one wasn't among them. Always fun to find something new. So is it cool if we put that one in the gallery? And the one of you and Kyle would be cool to have in there too.

Chnyst · 18 May 07 :: 04:21

Of course!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 May 07 :: 04:58

Cool.

domesticelefant · 18 May 07 :: 12:28

Cool, thank you.

TeeJay · 18 May 07 :: 20:44

Sean, if they come back to New Mexico to shoot more stuff there, you'll know what to do, right? You don't? Well... take LOTS of pictures of one particular person. You don't need to bug him about us anymore, though. We have direct lines of communication now, as you know.
