Beacon FINALLY replies - jimbow8 - 02-01-2008
Some of you old-timers may remember a LONG time ago (circa 2003), when Beacon first took on the RJ movie project, Paul suggested that we might send off an email to Beacon requesting information on the project (contactus@beaconpictures.com). Well, I sent one and also saved a copy in my "Drafts" folder. I've resent it probably a dozen times or so at random intervals, just whenever it occured to me, and NEVER once received a reply from anyone at Beacon...... until today. I happened to notice the 'draft' so I sent another email:
Quote:Subject: Repairman Jack Information
Hi, I understand that Beacon has acquired the rights to the
Repairman Jack movie. I am interested in any
information you can give me regarding this project.
Have you signed any actors, a director, etc? Is there
a schedule for production? I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting
this movie and would appreciate any information you
could provide me.
Thank you for your time.
Impatiently awaiting your reply.

Here's the reply that I got today:
Quote:Hi Jim,
Thank you for your e-mail. Because this project is still in development, I am unfortunately not able to able to give out any information. But I'm glad to hear you are excited about the project. I would suggest keeping an eye on Dr. Wilson's repairmanjack.com website for news and announcements.
Best,
Lynda Brendish

I know that this isn't exactly constitute any new information or anything, but it DOES seem to mean that Beacon is now preparing to begin to think about possibly releasing information.

I'm hearing a firm maybe! This is starting to look like it's absolutely possible.

Maybe I've missed some developments, but I thought Ryan Reynolds was named to play Jack. Was this just a rumor?

I think it is UNofficial, meaning the studio has never acknowledged it. Obviously, from the email, they don't seem to have officially even announced the movie. It doesn't show up on IMDb at all - under Ryan Reynolds or FPW.

Yeah, I check IMDB religiously for any news about Jack. With all the remakes and crap the studios are churning out I think this franchise would be a no-brainer!
