I would like to thank TeeJay for letting me know what EXACTLY is going on with Fanboys!

“We recently reported on chris-marquette.com about the changes that have been made to Fanboys, and if you’ve been following the latest developments there or elsewhere, you know that The Weinstein Company took the movie away from Kyle Newman and reshot some footage late last year with someone called Steven Brill (Without a Paddle, Little Nicky) at the helm. At first we believed that Kyle was directing the reshoots and that the additional footage was just some stuff they had wanted to do but couldn’t afford until TWC agreed to give them another $2 million.

Aaaaank, wrong!! We should have known, because the Weinsteins have a reputation for meddling with films until they turn them into total crap. And obviously that’s what they’re doing with Fanboys right now. Market research has led them to believe the original version of Fanboys will not appeal to the public because it included someone suffering from cancer. They actually stated that their research says people won’t laugh for 5-10 minutes after cancer is mentioned.

So what’s their solution? Eliminating the entire plot of the original film by cutting the cancer aspect. Now the core group of Star Wars fans travels cross country on a mission to steal an early print of The Phantom Menace, not to help their dying friend realize his last wish, but just because. They tool around in their super geeky van and cause all kinds of havoc just because they think it would be the ultimate fanboy thing to do, breaking into Skywalker Ranch to steal the movie right out from under George Lucas’s nose.

And because we know both endings now, we can tell you that this super-geeky, booger-eating, gratuitously dirty version ends in a complete letdown. Gone are the triumphant final scenes surrounding Linus realizing his dream and revitalizing all his friendships in his remaining days on earth. Gone is the ending that received three standing ovations and nine minutes of applause when the rough cut of the real version screened at Celebration Europe last year. No one will cheer this new ending. And Star Wars fans are likely to leave the theater feeling manhandled and very much ripped off.

And it’s not only the ending. The whole movie is not going to be what we had expected as being both hilariously funny and emotionally moving, instead it’ll be just a few guys geeking out in what has been called “Superbad with nerdier characters” and a completely empty story.

But here’s where you can actively help us fight these changes. If, like us, you think that what The Weinstein Company is doing is wrong, distasteful and misguided, please join the group of fans who’ve formed their own Rebel Alliance to take on the TWC Death Star and fight Darth Weinstein to the bitter end. Help us save this movie we’ve all been anticipating for so long.”

According to TV Guide: “no new episodes expected until fall”.

Washington, February 11 (ANI): American actress Kristen Bell is all set to star in When in Rome, which Mark Steven Johnson is directing for Disney.

Mark is also the writer of the film, the shooting for which begins on March 31 in New York and Rome.

The film will feature Bell in the role of a Gotham-based successful
real estate agent who cannot find a lasting relationship, reports
Variety magazine.

The woman flies out for the wedding after her younger sister impulsively marries in Rome.

Meanwhile, she picks up coins from a reputed fountain of love, which
leads to an overabundance of suitors waiting for her back home.

Bell, who was part of the Heroes cast this past season, will next be
seen playing the title role in the comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall,
produced and scripted by Judd Apatow for Universal.

She will also appear in Fanboys for the Weinstein Co.
