     Yesterday, the head of the Lego Studios board of directors, Mark Matthew, announced the progress that has been made on the studio's three current projects: The Adventures of Legoman, Ghost Pictures, and Johnny Thunder 2. "We have certainly been working hard to get these productions out at their scheduled times, and I can certainly say, We will most likely do just that, even though we're currently updating our editing systems."
     Right now, The Adventures of Legoman has finished production. The film is now awaiting the new editing system so post-production can begin. Simon Johnathon stated, "We have high hopes for The Adventures of Legoman, especially after the success of Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo." Editing for The Adventures of Legoman will begin in early March, with expectancies of finishing before spring break. The film will be released April 24th, 2009.
     Also, work on Ghost Pictures is off to a good start. "I love it as much as I love coffee," said the film's runner, location manager, and blood-sucking lawyer, Dracula. "I've read the script myself and I can say that the project has a lot of potential!" Filming for Ghost Pictures will be conducted through April and May, and is expected to be released October 2009.
     Last, but not least, is the long-anticipated Johnny Thunder 2, which has entered the finalization stage of pre-production. "I'm sure fans of the first film will love it," said director Steven Lawrence. "There are a lot of references to the first movie in this sequel, from reprised lines to Patrick's return." The filming for Johnny Thunder 2 is scheduled for Fall 2009, while the film's initial release is scheduled for July 2010.
     Also in the works are a few smaller projects, including Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo Deleted Animation and Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo Production Gallery. Both of these short films will be released late March 2009.

The Year in Review: 2023

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; December 31, 2023)      As another year comes to a close, we're taking a look back over what happened this year. We were pretty quiet in the build-up to Twenty Years Young , but we did still have a substantial amount of content this past year. January     To kick off the new year,  Hunted: A (Not) Bigfoot Story  was released on January 8. This tale of a hillbilly with overgrown hair and the campers who think that he's bigfoot was created for THAC 2023. While the film did not win any prizes, it did become just one of many entries in the record-breaking competition that will have you stomping with laughter. We also began an audit of the studio archives as part of a final push to finish content for Twenty Years Young , as well as geared up to plow through the projects planned for this year. February     One of those projects,  Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear , officially debuted on February 1! This special project r

Original Classics as They Were are Returning with "Original Cuts," Coming April 18, 2024!

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 31, 2024)     Even in the midst of this celebration, we've just revealed some new ways to celebrate the day-of twentieth anniversary of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.! In addition to some new music albums and the release of artwork from our canceled projects, we're also introducing a new project titled Original Cuts ! What is the Special Project  Original Cuts ?      Long story short, Original Cuts  is a special project that aims to preserve classic Mustache Maniacs Film Co. movies as they were originally released. We realized during the backup of the physical archive last year that these DVDs are progressively getting worse for wear, and with 2015's DVD Archival Project only backing up the special editions of all of these films, these original versions were at risk of being lost forever. Something had to be done, which is where Original Cuts  comes into play.     As mentioned, outside of updating the branding
