Confirmed – “Awesome” to be in theaters March 31

[phantom9]

After spending some time on the message board over the last few weeks reading all the chatter about the film, we figured it was time to chime in about AWESOME; I FUCKIN’ SHOT THAT! and offer some more details for everyone.

When I say “we” I mean THINKFilm, the company releasing the film in theaters on March 31. Right now, the plan is to open the film in New York and Los Angeles on March 31, with additional cities either that weekend or shortly thereafter. I’ll post more when we finalize the details.

As we get closer to the opening weekend, we’ll also post about where to tune-in on tv/radio or read a newspaper/magazine that will feature the band/film so you don’t miss it. Now, for some other things to fill-in the blanks:
- Yes, the film will be released on DVD, but only after its theatrical run…figure sometime in June.
- Yes, the film will make its world premiere at Sundance
- Yes, the band will be performing at Sundance

Also, thanks to all the camera operators who were able to attend the screening last week, we’re glad you all enjoyed the film as much as we do. This film wouldn’t be in theaters without your hard work and love for the band.

And nice work to whoever sent in his/her review to AICN, kick-ass job!

If you have any questions about the film, post ‘em here. I’ll do my best to give you a semi-straight answer.

Can you give any information on a U.K release date?

[BGirl]

thanks for the info, congrats on the film (y)

[Bionic]

I think i overheard a few people saying their names were misspelled in the credits... is it too late to fix those?


Also, will this be one DVD or will it be a double thinger?


AND... I've seen concerts before in movie theaters... and in general the sound has been too low at those. The sound at the screening was great (the bass needed to be as loud as it was - it was great) but that probably was a factor in choosing the venue.

.. Will there be any special sound arrangements/requirements made for the theatrical release?


I noticed that people at the screening were a little reserved, probably because they don't know if they should clap/cheer/"sing"-along... can it be cleared up. and if it's encouraged, will there be something put at the beginning of the film when it comes out. It could make a big difference in the 'experience' people have.

[talita]

it will look a little ridiculous... but... what is Sundance? (or where?)

[YoungRemy]

And nice work to whoever sent in his/her review to AICN, kick-ass job!



my pleasure!!!

Sundance Film Festival takes place in Park City, UT

[xavito]

Are there going to be any theatrical runs in Europe?

[Laver1969]

Thanks for the official scoop, Alex!

I'll put my suggestion in to include Chicago as one of the "select cities".

[gaselite]

Any chance of international distribution? Specifically, to Australia? >.>

Coz, yknow, I don't want to have to download it (I will def. buy it on DVD), but I can't wait to see this movie.

[dave790]

Can you give any information on a U.K release date?

[Rodie]

Any special features for the DVD confirmed and what kind of sound (say DTS and you're my hero).

[ILLMIX]

will there be a U.K release and how it will be released in theatres, what sort of pronotion will it have, magazines etc? we all know its not gonna be like a King Kong Movie but will it be on the same lines of This is Spinal Tap (in terms of how its released to the public)

[paulb]

Will the movie make it to the theaters here in Vancouver? There is this one theater called Tinsel Town which gets most of the "independant films" like The Aristocrats from ThinkFilms.

[SR Cranks]

I'll throw out a big "PLEASE" play the film in Miami.

do that

I hope it recieves a good response in the theaters...though to be honest I can't see it having a huge appeal overall. If it was just a straight documentary, yes, but watching a concert of a band you might kinda like might not be very appealing to a lot of people (I'm of course not referring to myself, as I am obsessed with them). A few of my friends wanted to try to come to the Sundance screening with me, but after I told them it was just basically a concert with a few other elements thrown in, they lost interest. Hmm.

for the film aficionados, this is a cinematogaraphy and editing masterpiece, tell THAT to the hoytie-toyties!


p.s.- I am hearing rumblings of the "other concert" while they are there...

something about a Blender Magazine party at a place called "Harry O's"...

investigate...

[DandyFop]

Harry O's always has big names and surprise concerts, so I wouldn't be surprised. I know someone who just got a job there during the festival, I should tell him to keep his ears open.

Also, I'm not talking about film afficianados, I'm talking about everyone...

[timmie]

on an interview with mca on mtv.com yauch says that its a dvd & a cd!! :D

[Hello_nasty]

TORRRRRONNNNNTTTTOOOOOO!

[jennyb]

Right now, the plan is to open the film in New York and Los Angeles on March 31

Whoo Hoo!

Thanks for the official news, Mr. Klenert. (y)

Seriously though, does the dvd include some extras in the form of "Boys Gone Wild" madness? I'm really hoping for some. *crosses fingers and toes*

[steve-onpoint]

Philadelphia could use a philm like this. (y)

Is this true phantom9? If so, this would be great. (y)

[BGirl]

^ maybe they're workin on it... maybe Yauch is chatting up De Niro at Tribeca Grill as we speak :D


and I do have a question after all -- is there a trailer for the film??

[Pootytang]

Finally, could you please send my pal Pootytang a big movie poster? He's a nice guy and it would make him happy.



Any Merchandise from the movie would be super dope. Thanks for keeping me in mind when requesting a movie poster.

[YoungRemy]

can't wait to see this in limited release!!

10 to 15 markets , including NY and LA...

and to have a world premiere at Sundance, what a perfect venue for the DIY Beastie Boys...
