Studio Updates: Two New Short Films Coming Soon and More.

(Lego Studios; September 27, 2010)
     Halloween is just a month away, and with that, comes another studio update. To start, two new films have been announced. The first will be a mini commercial for the fan choice awards. "We are very surprised how few people are voting for the awards. Therefore, we decided that a commercial to encourage people to vote is important," said Mark Matthew, head of the Lego Studios Board of Directors and Lego Studios CEO. Also, an educational science film will be made. The film, primarily an assignment for school, will use storytelling and humor to teach an undecided aspect of physical science. Both will be released by the end of the year.
     In the meantime, the 8th draft of Forest of Fear was sent off to hopeful director Barry Hollows for final approval. This is his response:
Dear Mark Matthew,
     I congratulate you on gathering the necessary will power to get your writers to do this revision, for it was certainly worth it. I definitely connect better with the main characters now and understand the movie. Unfortunately, I have already been hired to work on another film by another studio. I am sorry I will not be able to direct the film, but anticipate seeing the final project.
Barry Hollows, Director of Zombie: Genesis
     Even though the board of directors is happy that Barry liked the project, they are currently in shambles, trying to find a new director. "Let's hope we don't run into as big a fiasco as we did 3 years ago, when the Studio was sued," said Steven Lawrence, director of the first two Johnny Thunder films.
     To make matters worse, relations between Lego Studios and Multimedia Productions for the film Red Jungle have gotten on the rocks. "Some of their executives want to go ahead with the project, but others want to make short films instead," stated relations commissioner Philip Scoop. "We tried to press them to go ahead with Red Jungle, but I personally don't know what they want to do. I'll just have to sit back and see what happens."
     As for other studio projects, Forest of Fear will begin filming in the Winter of 2011, with a release that summer. Also, Johnny Thunder 3 is advancing well in the pre-production phase, with a possible, but not likely, release in 2014.

    The biggest problem with the awards was you didn't post where to vote. You should probably specify that in the commertial.

    Just I thought. I wanted to vote, but I couldn't figure out how.

    To vote, you just need to send me a private message on YouTube with a list of your choices.

    However, to avoid confusion in the future, I will edit the submission rules.

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
