Knowles gets lost with some Fanboys
Filed under: Comedy, Casting, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Brad Pitt, Comic/Superhero/Geek
You know things are getting weird when an internet movie critic-type guy is
awarded his own character in a film. Jorge Garcia (Lost)
will be playing Harry Knowles from AICN fame in the upcoming Fanboys
flick...and all I wanna know is when us Cinematical folks will get our turn?
Apparently, in the film, Knowles will be responsible for providing the fanboys with knowledge on how to get into the Skywalker Ranch. Though I believe this is the first time an actor has been cast to play an internet fanboy in a feature film, there was that Entourage episode in which the boys hired strippers to please an internet writer so that he wouldn't say anything bad about their movie. When the episode aired, it was rumored that the character was based on Knowles, but nothing official was ever said. Produced by Kevin Spacey, Fanboys begins its production next month. Oh, and if Brad Pitt is available, feel free to throw yours truly into the pic as well.

Hurley is definitely one of the more entertaining characters on Lost. I hope they do not kill him off...

Actually Fanboys has started production already. They have done some shooting in Albuquerque NM over the last couple of weeks.

My son and I were extras in a theater set at the Hiland in downtown Albuquerque. The shoot was set at the time when Star Wars Episode I was premiered. We were seated as background to the principal actors and will appear in the film. Look for a dashing old man and a cute kid as the camera pans the crowd while it follows two fans fighting with light sabers. It took 5 hours hours to film about 10 minutes of hte theater crowd with little dialog from the principals. Ah.. the limelight of ambigious celebrity.
