The Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Press Room

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; April 12, 2019)      Why wasn't Wonder's of Buoyancy re-released as scheduled today? The answer to that and more is all in today's update!
"Wonders of Buoyancy" Delayed to April 19, 2019!      While we do have this remastered educational classic ready to go, we've decided to delay it by one week to commemorate our fifteenth anniversary. This highly-honored movie (which has been used by teachers as an authoritative educational film in the past) is perfect for celebrating our anniversary next week, so we are pushing it back to make this anniversary a most noted one. However, because of this change, we have some bad news for you all.
"A Friend of the Police" Re-Release Indefinitely Delayed!      Because we are nowhere near ready to present this returning film to the world, we are delaying this re-release to an undetermined date later this year. We are still scouting far and wide for actors to pl…

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co Headquarters; March 31, 2019)      To finish up our adventurous exploration in March, we have one last film that we want to cover for all of you! Read on to find out about this summer's big blockbuster!
Get Ready to Travel to 1924!      Unlike the Johnny Thunder Saga, this film is going to take place in the Golden Age of Adventure, right in the 1920's! Just like the LEGO sets that this film is based on, this film will follow the exploits of Jake Raines in 1924 Egypt, where Archibald Hale has summoned him to help him crack the ancient prophecy of Amset-Ra and stop the tyrant Pharaoh from rising again! Along with Helena Skvalling and Mac McCloud, they set off to find the treasures that are the key to his power! But what is the pharaoh's greatest secret?

Celebrating 100 Years of the End of World War 1!
     November 11, 2018 marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1, so this film commemorates that anniversary by featurin…

     We've just re-released the popular film Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients, and to commemorate this spectacular re-release, we've got tons of news for all of you! Are you ready for it all?
Pharaoh's Quest: The Curse of Amset-Ra Will Be Released on August 9!
     We dropped the latest trailer for this highly-anticipated historical fiction film this morning, and contained within the the trailer is the official (and final) release date for this film: August 9! We are so excited to finally have this film finished and ready for all of you to see, which will bring this popular, but short-lived, LEGO theme to life like never before! We've already talked about this film extensively here on the press room, but we have so much more to share before the film premieres! Be sure to check back for more news! And speaking of news...

The Pen Will Be Released on June 14!
     Also released this mor…

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 24, 2019)      In addition to all of the re-releases that we have planned, we are still working on ways to bring more stories from the Johnny Thunder Saga and Project U to life! Here, covered for the first time ever, is an extensive look at Johnny Thunder and the Wonders Beneath the Waves! Let's "dive" in, shall we?
A Deep Sea Adventure Like No Other      While it is true that we are saving Dino Island for a later film (though I can't say any more on that film yet), this film is going to someplace that the Adventurers LEGO Sets never ventured to: underwater! After the tests of underwater effects in Wonders of Buoyancy and Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients, we're going all out with an almost all-underwater story for this film! The setting is just off the coast of the island of Bermuda, where the Adventurers have been summoned by Prof. Samantha Rhodes and Dr. Jeff Fisher to investigate leg…

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 17, 2019)      While it has become controversial among the fan community, we decided in 2017 to remake Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo, with new effects, modern animation, and more! Here's what you can expect from the new version.
Now More Cinematic Than Ever!      One thing that we have grown in since the release of the original film is how cinematic our newer films feel (at least in comparison). We want to carry this over into the new film, and this title treatment exemplifies that. It's not final, but it takes clear cues from the original Orient Expedition title treatment (the final version will look similar to this one).
A Change in Atmosphere!      The film is (obviously) going to follow the same plot as the original film, but we want to give this film more emotional impact in terms of lighting (the original film had pretty even lighting). As you can see here in this concept painting, the opening …

By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 6, 2019)      With so many re-releases coming this year alone, it's easy to forget that we have plenty of new films in the works as well. Well, today's the day that we give one of those films its due respects. Presenting: Patrick: The Movie!
A Tale By Patrick, for Fans There is no doubt that Lord Sinister's silliest henchman, Patrick Hooligans, is our most popular original character. His silly antics juxtaposed against Lord Sinister are what give the villains of the Johnny Thunder films so much personality. And now, he's telling his tale of getting into adventuring. We have yet to start production on this film, so we do not have any screenshots (sorry). But we do have some other things to share.
From a Joke to a Movie      If you've seen Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo recently, then you may remember the scene where Patrick Hooligans is seen for the first time and this resulting exchange bet…
