We posted this news report about the upcoming movie Fanboys at the beginning of last month and the official site have now reported that a rough cut of the film will be shown at Celebration Europe this coming Saturday.
Fans will meet Fanboys on Saturday, July 14, when those attending Europe’s Star Wars party of a lifetime will be the first to see a rough cut of the full version of the upcoming Weinstein Company’s Star Wars-themed comedy.
The one-time-only presentation is scheduled for Saturday afternoon in the Platinum Theater at the ExCeL Center. A special question and answer session with Kyle Newman, director of Fanboys, will follow.
In Fanboys, Newman presents an uproarious comedy that follows a group of young friends on a cross-country quest to break into Skywalker Ranch and see Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace before it is released. It stars Sam Huntington (Superman Returns), Chris Marquette (Joan of Arcadia), Dan Fogler (the upcoming Kung Fu Panda) and Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars).
“Fanboys has truly been a labor of love for everyone involved,” says Newman, “so to know that some of the world’s biggest Star Wars fans will be among the first to see the rough cut of the movie has us really excited.”
Whether that means the film will be released in the UK is not yet known, since there appears to be no release date for it over here yet, but I guess we should find out at the Q&A that will follow the screening
