Superhero Movie release July 8th ?

[Moviemaniack1993]

Knowing that this was not from the terrible directors who made Date Movie, Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans, I went and saw this. It was very very funny and well done. But the DVD has only been announced for July 8th. I distinctly remember Weinstein stating that they would be doing Blu-ray by the middle of this year. Well, July is the middle of the year, and a Blu-ray was not announced! I am so pissed right now. Let's go Weinstein!

Weinstein?

Boy there's a Family Guy joke in there somewhere...

Noooooo please don't support these!

I won't buy this one, but there's other stuff I want from them like Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair and the Grindhouse double feature.

And before anyone tries to correct me, Kill Bill:THBA is Weinstein, the individual volumes are Miramax/Disney.

Can I correct your grammar?

But honestly, regardless of how or by who it was done, I won't buy this - if they really wanted to break from the crap parody group, they shouldn't have titled it "Superhero Movie."

And I want Kill Bill: TWBA.

I would buy Kill Bill and Grindhouse on Blu in a second.

Actually, Weinstein isn't responsible for Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans (they're Fox)--
The Weinsteins broke up with Jason Friedberg and Aaron Setzer after "Scary Movie 2", brought in the Zucker Bros. to write Scary 3+4, and there's been a bitter division between the two sides ever since.

The Weinstein/Dimension half had been trying to do a superhero spoof as far back as Scary 3 (back when it was going to parody Hulk and Daredevil)--
Courtesy of Netflix--who jumped the gun on listing the movie while still in preproduction--check out a glimpse of the "Superhero!" script we almost got in 2007:

The team that lampooned horror movies with the Scary Movie series takes on the superhero genre with this send-up penned by Craig Mazin. When the mayor of Fabtopolis (the sublimely silly Leslie Nielsen) is kidnapped by magician The Great Jim, a quartet of superheroes is called upon to save him: Beakman (the leader), Squak (the wannabe), Cleara (the see-through heroine) and The Stoner (a loser who becomes a large stone monster when high).

(Ouch...All they had for five years was the title, and be glad we only got out of it what we did.)
