"Fanboys" finally being released! 2/6/09 (limited) - Blu-ray Forum

Mouse · 02-03-2009, 07:53 PM

Dudes and dudettes! It's finally being released!

http://www.fanboys-themovie.com/#/home-page

The movie we have been waiting for YEARS to see is finally coming out! Sadly it is only limited for the time being. If enough people show up for the initial release they will widen it to more theatres. I'll most likely be taking a 3 hour roadtrip with my bro to see this.

A list of the select cities can be found here:

Hopefully they will stick to it this time and we won't have to wait any longer! Here's hoping for a perfect Blu-ray release!

Ya right... lol we'll see.

Mouse · 02-03-2009, 08:02 PM

Well, the count-down clock on their MySpace page says less than 2 days and 9 hours. Surely they would of pulled it by now if they were going to?

STARSCREAM · 02-03-2009, 08:06 PM

Excellent, can't wait to see this.

Blu-Benny · 02-03-2009, 08:15 PM

looks hilarious!!!

Variable · 02-03-2009, 08:21 PM

gonna try to get to nyc to see it.

Beast · 02-03-2009, 09:33 PM

Sucks that it's getting such a small release. But hopefully it hits Blu-Ray in 2-3 months.

I agree that it does suck about the limited release so I'm doing my part by taking a 3 hour road trip to see it! Like they said, if enough people show up for this limited release they will expand it.

My tickets are already purchased and I'm taking off work on Friday to catch this movie!

I SO can't wait for this to be released on Blu. To me, it's more important than The Dark Knight.

Don't hurt me!

I considered taking a roadtrip down to Seattle to see it myself, but right now is a really bad time for me. Really want to see this one. Will blind buy the Blu if nothing else though.

P@t_Mtl · 02-04-2009, 01:40 PM

JamesKurtovich · 02-04-2009, 04:52 PM

Looks like I'll be waiting another year or two.

Blame "The Weinstein Company". They've been forcing reshoots and trying to make them change the script and after the fans protested they retracted the change in script so we get to see the original form of the movie.

My apologies. I forget about firewalls since my office does not block any websites. Here is a list of the cities:

1) New York – 10 screens (including AMC 34th St)
2) Los Angeles – 10 screens (including Mann Chinese 6)
3) Chicago – 3 screens
4) Philadelphia – 5 screens
5) San Francisco – 6 screens
6) Seattle – 3 screens
7) Houston – 3 screens
8) Austin - 1 screen (Alamo Drafthouse)

I'll personally be going to Austin where Ernest Cline (The writer) will be.

Slacksuperstar · 02-05-2009, 12:16 AM

Marquoz · 02-05-2009, 12:39 AM

Argh, Austin is just far enough away that a road trip for the weekend is out. *sigh* I'd love to see this movie and support them!
