Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for Fanboys (which I can safely say is a film we've all been waiting a long time to see), along with a handful of brand spanking new images. Luckily Mr. Weinberg and myself managed to catch a screening of the flick back in July during Comic Con and I'm happy to say Fanboys is a funny, heartwarming geeky trip full of countless movie references (most of them Star Wars related) and plenty of memorable quotes. Oh, and did I mention Kristen Bell in a Slave Leia costume? Yes sir. (And you can see two pics of her as Slave Leia in the gallery below.)
For those of you who've been living on the Death Star for the past couple years, Fanboys tells of a group of friends who, prior to the release of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, decide to drive across country and break into Skywalker Ranch in an attempt to show their friend the film before he dies of cancer. Fanboys stars Dan Fogler (in his funniest role by far), Jay Baruchel, Kristen Bell, Chris Marquette, Sam Huntington and more cameos than you know what to do with (let's just say Seth Rogen plays two roles). As of right this very second, it looks like we'll finally be able to catch Fanboys in theaters on February 6, 2009.

This is a little too close to the 40 Year Old Virgin one sheet for me to give it a pass.

Wow, that's some kind of horrible Photoshop job someone did on the poster. It looks like someone pasted Vader's helmet over Steve Carrell's head from the 40 Year Old Virgin poster.

The first time I have ever laughed out loud for a movie poster. It does a fantastic job of saying that it is aiming for the 40 year old virgin crowd and still has the geeky side to it.

I have to admit, I'm really curious what will happen to a near death Fogler after seeing Menace (assuming they are succesful) and realizing it sucks.

is this actually coming out? i was at the star wars convention early last year and caught the panel with the director and actors who were promoting this movie like it was coming out THAT year... and of course it didn't. and then with all the rumors of re-cuts, re-shoots, i'm still taking a wait-until-it-actually-happens approach.
cool poster though and i'm up for anything with kristen bell.

I guarantee that Steve Carell is under that helmet.
The guy's torso even seems to be at the same angle, and what's red in this poster was orange then.

To MikeH, that is not Photoshop, well, I guess it could be, but that helmet is the Rubie's Supreme or Deluxe Darth Vader Helmet, I own two of them.
I didn't even catch the "40 Year Old Virgin" thing at first, but it's kind of funny. I don't mind the poster. Either one is fine with me. Can't wait to see it!

Someone forgot to tell the extras in the theater scene that there was no such thing as Budweiser Select in 1999.
