Lisa – one of the problems wih the re-edit/reshoot isn’t just taking out the cancer plot, but re-editing the movie to make a mockery of Star Wars fans instead of a tribute. Also it seems like it’s an attempt to gear the movie towards a demographic that wouldn’t really understand what the movie is actually about in the first place. The original movie makers intended the movie to be a tribute to Star Wars fans. As far as the cancer plot, that gives the story its emotional punch, its sense of urgency that underlies the comedy. I would have a harder time buying into a plot where several fans simply attempt to steal the movie to be the first ones to see it. That rings hollow to me and the story doesn’t really resonate as much as a group of friends that are not only devoted to Star Wars, but also to their friend who is dying, to the extent that they would travel cross country and attempt to steal a copy of the movie for their friend. That plot digs a little deeper and gives the story more soul.

Can’t wait to see this movie, but I’m glad they are taking out the cancer plot. I for one, want to go to a movie to be entertained not having to know this entire movie that eventually one of them dies. I don’t think that they need the motivation of their friend dying and wanting to see the movie before he dies. Their motivation is easily believable without the cancer plot because they are such fanatical Star Wars fans.

I think this will be a great film and I don’t think people will get so mad that they won’t
go see it. Don’t get me wrong I’m mad too about how long it takes for it to come out
but I still think it will come out in 2008 and nerds everywere will regoice

Good lord! Can’t they see with the recent release of the Bucket List, which was a hillarious movie. Cancer and death can still be funny. Think about death in general, parody movies such as “Shaun of the Dead” or “Hot Fuzz” were still hillarious and awesome, despite having alot of death. Star Wars, had an entire planet blow up on screen and yet was still humourous, awesome, and action packed. Fanboys would be no exception, and fear of cancer, just like a fear of death is something that any movie can have and not make it a box office failure.

Someone should make a movie about a guy dying of cancer who, along with his friends, steals “Fanboys” so he can watch it before he dies. .

I saw this movie in October of 2006, and they said it would come out in february. a year later its still not out. I will say this. the cut of the movie that i saw was fantastic. one of the funniest movies i have ever seen, and changing even a frame of it would be the dumbest thing they could do.

This better be a rumor because, I don’t see the problem in laughing about cancer, just as long as one is not laughing at someone who has cancer. There is already too much grim reality surrounding that disease. Just look at the way we talk about “battling” cancer. A lighthearted and optimistic attitude would go a long way to give people hope. They don’t call laughter the best medicine for no reason.
