Gift baskets. Angry weasels. Too funny you guys! (But I'll contribute to either one if it actually would help...)fpw Wrote:[SIZE="3"]It's a multi-picture deal - just imagine Beacon's lawyers and the star's agent going back and forth...and back and forth...and...[/SIZE]

Multi-picture deal?! We're getting more than one? Now I'm getting scared - it's almost too good to be true!

Well, Legacies would be a great follow-up to Repairman Jack. Then there should be All The Rage. Or vice versa.
Hopefully, they won't be as long in development as the first RJ film.

We'll know its a done deal when the merchandising begins- it always comes way before the flicks.
RJ lunchboxes and Rooftop Rakosh playsets featuring Jack with the KungFu grip.... It's NOT a doll, its an Action Figure!!!!!

I really hope it works out that way. I've seen 'multi-picture deal' kind of things where the remaining pictures were just options for future movies that don't get made because of non-spectacular box office for the first. Serenity is a good recent example, and one that I think was badly marketed.
I think part of the problem with franchise characters breaking into movies has been a real lack of promoting the origins of the franchise. It's way easier to get people excited about a movie prospect if they have an inkling of why this movie is different from the half-dozen released last weekend. I'm sure we here are infecting everyone we know with our enthusiasm (and with a love of Jack and FPW in general). My biggest worry is that your average movie-goer will look at the preview and think generic action/horror movie without understanding that it ISN'T your standard fare monster flick.
I know you've said Beacon is committed. I really hope they prove to be stand up on that. I just really wish there were some additional media (TV, graphic novels) to introduce Jack to a wider audience prior to the film's release, since really so few people seem to read these days for pleasure.

I just had a flash...
As the begining credits roll up, the soundtrack to Ghosbusters begins, "Who ya gonna call...?"
Repairman Jack, the Comedy.

I thought for sure you were joking - A.K. is just so not right. Talk about "Dude, Where's My Rakosh?" - sheesh! I sure hope this means that much better things come to those who wait...and wait....and wait...
