Hello!
One week ago, I traveled to MagFest 2010 to screen a rough cut of “Megaman”. What I Got was: amazing audience reaction, all around praise, and a very happy batch of viewers that believed the Blue Bomber has been done with great justice in this film. In short: the screening was a success! In addition, the film was screened a second time the following day so I was able to sneak in and see the audience reaction without them knowing I was present. I stuck in and out to hear what the fans were saying amongst themselves. No only were audience reactions even BETTER, but I heard solid chatter praising the film. So, with a film that seems to be in pretty great shape, what’s next?
Due to the success of the screening , little changes will be made to the film as is. The new ending that was screened tested very well and I’m extremely happy with the pacing so the current cut is pretty much what will be in final release (aside from some fine tuning here and there). That means the released film should having a final running time of about 107 minutes with credits!
The next big question is: when will it be released? The film shall be released online 2 weeks after the premiere. Well, when will the premiere be? I don’t want to say officially when it will but I do have a specific time frame in mind and it’s soon….very soon. Without giving too much, the film will be premiered before the summer. If any delays occur, you all will be the first to know but at this rate, we are in really good shape. Let’s say this: everyone who is working on post-production is aware of what is left and what their deadlines are and have agreed to said deadlines. If no delays occur and everything is smooth, you are looking at a Premiere/Release within the next 3-5 months (meaning the soonest possible CAN be 3 months from right now). I don’t want to say a specific release date at the risk of it backfiring in my face but we are close. Once the film is completed we will spend time promoting and marketing the film as much as humanly (and legally) possible. We will also push the premiere and make sure we get hardcore MM fans in those seats come premiere day! The official release date will be announcement via. a trailer within the coming weeks but the release date won’t be announced until we are days away from saying this thing is 110% done. Stay tuned!
Until the, I will keep everyone updated and will post all marketing goodies and info up until the release. If anyone has any question, feel free to ask in the forum!
