The Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Press Room

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; February 18, 2024)     While Agent: Thorgood  might be considered to be the true spiritual successor to the Com 50 Trilogy (and a testament to how our stories have evolved and become more complex over time), there was a time when continuing the Com 50 story was considered, but as a point-and-click game! How would this have worked? What would have a Com 50 story set in 2012 looked like? Why did the resulting project, Com 50 Covert Operations: The Interactive Adventure  fail? Let's dive in and see what this game was going to be about. The Game's Origins: A Lost Ruby and an Intermission Mystery      The game's earliest version, according to the archived outline, was actually not going to be a video game, but rather a DVD board game. This version, dating back to 2009, would see players race around the world in an attempt to stop Mondo Hugo (Lieutenant Hugo Finnegan's original name) from re...

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; February 12, 2024)     With last Thursday's dual re-releases, you might be wondering what is up with Com 50: Peril in Iran  and its place in the canon timeline. Here is that complicated history, what we've done about it, and how we're handling this going forward. Com 50: Peril in Iran : A Usurped Remake      As was mentioned in our crash course on Com 50, Com 50: Peril in Iran  was basically a remake of Com 50 , mainly because we didn't have the means at the time to import the footage of the older film for editing. However, during the From the Vaults  promotion in 2012, in a move to make the Com 50 Trilogy better align with the stylistic direction of Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island , Com 50  became the new first film in the trilogy, with Com 50: Peril in Iran  basically being thrown to the wind. It was deemed too similar in plot, and the World War 3 setting clashed with...

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co Headquarters; February 7, 2024)     Tomorrow, the very first re-releases of 2024 will debut, with the return of both Com 50: Peril in Iran  and Com 50 & 007 , our first two Com 50 films. First released in 2005, these films marked the first time that the world was introduced to Com 50, but who is this original character? Before tomorrow's releases, let's dive in and learn more. Where Did Com 50 Come From?      The short answer is from director Andrew Bermudez's imagination. But to dive deeper into the story, we need to go all the way back to 2001, when the earliest stories featured in Crazy Compendium  were first being written, because at that time, Andrew was first introduced to Spy University. A staggered educational activity center from Scholastic, Spy University followed the story of a trainee (that would be the subscriber) who has just enrolled into the namesake school. However, the trainee d...

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; February 1, 2024)     Twenty Years Young continues with its first month theme: Com 50 Covert Operations ! Here's what's in store, as well as some more recent news from across our network. Com 50 Covert Operations : What to Expect in February      While we spent January starting off the celebration as a whole, this month we're introducing month themes! Each month, we're going to take either a single project or character and devote the entire month to that subject matter! Not all of the content released each month will coincide with that month's theme, but there will still be plenty of content that focuses on the theme.     For this month, we're diving head-first into the Com 50 Trilogy, alongside that film trilogy's spin-off content and more. While not all related to Com 50, here's what to expect this month. Both Com 50: Peril in Iran  and Com 50 & 007  will be re-rel...
