The Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Press Room

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; April 30, 2009)      Despite the recent success of The Adventures of Legoman , the economy is still hitting hard at the studio's finances, forcing them to shelf Captain Redbeard's Lost Gold and to entirely cancel the re-writing of Ghost Pictures . Even worse, there's a 'swine flu' going around that may strike any of the studio employees. Many of them have refused to go to work, in fear that they may get it. "With these conditions, we have to be on our guard," said Mark Matthew, head of the board of directors. "We can't spend too much money making a film that may not profit and get half of our employees sick in the process. What really matters now is Johnny Thunder 2 ."      Instead, the studio has planned to make several short films to work with new special effects and animations. Then, these films will be released to the public this fall so they can give their opinions. "Each of these films wil...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Legotown Cinema; April 25, 2009)      Since January, the studio has been working hard on getting their latest film, The Adventures of Legoman , finished. Now, only a day late, the studio has now released the film to the world. "It has been so honorable and fun to work on the film, and now, it's finished," said director Simon Johnathon.      At the premiere, the film's cast and crew attended, as well as local critics, the board of directors, the press and several fans of the short stories. One of these fans gave his opinion on the film. "It was awesome," said the fan. "I loved how they stayed true to the stories, while making it entertaining for people who have never read the stories. I also loved the chase at the end." Also, Jimmy Newsprint, reporter and critic for The Lego Times , said that the film was, "hilarious, family fun."      With this praise going around, the studio is hoping that, despit...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; April 18, 2009)      Last night, the poll on which story you like better closed and the winner has now been announced. "In the poll, the pirate story easily won over the castle story," said Simon Johnathon, proposed director. "This will certainly be a fun experience, especially since we haven't made a historical film recently."      This new film, which will be called Captain Redbeard's Lost Gold , will begin in the 1770's, where Captain Redbeard is hiding his enormous treasure on Loot Island. 50 years later, his descendant, Captain Brickbeard, finds a treasure map that leads to his ancestor's hidden fortune. But Governor Broadside, the leader of the Royal Armada, wants to bring Brickbeard to justice and return the gold. But not all is what it seems.      Since The Adventures of Legoman is intended as a children's film, the studio wants to shift the audience into a more serious gear ...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; April 11, 2009)      With The Adventures of Legoman almost done, the studio has decided to release information about recent happenings.      Only two days ago, a virus got into the studio's main systems, locking it all down. "It was madness," said Steven Lawrence, local director. "Once the lock down started, we couldn't do anything. We couldn't film, we couldn't edit, we couldn't record sound, we couldn't even flush any of the toilets in any of the studio bathrooms." Fortunately, expert technicians were able to fix the problem in only two days. Mark Matthew, head of the studio's board of directors, stated, "There is nothing to worry about. The systems are now back online and, fortunately, everything is still there. Unfortunately, we didn't lose the Ghost Pictures script. Let's just hope that Peter Samuel's version of the script is better."      Although it is good that th...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; March 23, 2009)      Even though there have been a few leaps on Wall Street recently, the economy is still not doing to well, and because of that, the studio needed to get rid of another unnecessary expense. This expense is none other than the project titled Ghost Pictures . "It's a little sad that the film was canceled, but I won't miss it," said director Simon Johnathon. "It's just that this type of film is not profitable anymore," stated Mark Matthew, head of the board of directors.      The most devastated crew member is Dracula. "It just doesn't feel right," said Dracula. "I felt at home with a thriller like this one, and the fact that it ended really devastates me. Then again, I can't predict what's going to happen on Wall Street tomorrow. I'm just a blood-sucking lawyer." (Note: Mark Matthew would like to point out that, despite Dracula's wording, Ghost Pictures was...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; March 22, 2009)      While The Adventures of Legoman finishes the editing stage, the studio has now released the second part to the Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo behind the scenes series, Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo Deleted Animation . "With this behind the scenes series, the audience will certainly get a new perspective on the film," said Mark Matthew, head of the Lego Studios board of directors.      In this new video, the audience will get to see the footage that ended up on the cutting room floor during post-production. Also, the video contains an official announcement for Johnny Thunder 2 . "With the success of the first film, Johnny Thunder 2 will certainly be a hit," stated director Steven Lawrence.      Now, with the behind the scenes series released, the studio can now focus on The Adventures of Legoman , which will be released April 24th, 200...
