Originally planned to screen over the weekend in New York, Eddie Lebron's Mega Man fan-film is making the jump to Washington D.C.
The director announced on the movie's official blog the first publicly screening will take place at DC Anime Club in Washington D.C On May 15th at 3:30PM. The event is free and Eddie, along with two other producers, are expected to make an appearance. There's also a good chance the actor who plays Mega Man, Jun Naito, will be in attendance as well. Check out the DC Anime Club's Facebook page for more details on the screening. If you can't attend, you'll still be able to see the movie on May 7th when it will be freely distributed online.
In related MM fan-film news, Eddie and his team announced they've begun accepting donations from fans, which will be used to pay for "the music, DVD production, streaming options, and other aspects related to the release of the film." Donating $5-$10 yields a complimentary copy of the film on DVD, while a donation between $11 to $25 will get you the DVD, a copy of "Mega Man: Origins" the film's prequel comic, and your name within the film's credits. There's more prizes to be had, so check out this blog post for the complete run down of goodies.
Should the film allowing embedded streaming, I'll be featuring it here on the blog May 7th.
inb4 fans whining about this being a horrible movie
ReplyDeleteI just donated $30 to get the collectors edition. Not sure how great of a movie it will be, but so long as it satisfies me enough like the Super Mario Bros. movie did I will be satisfied. =)
ReplyDeleteAnd yet no one mentions the NYC event.
ReplyDeletePrequel comic? Wow, how... mainstream?
ReplyDeleteDonated $26 to the group to get the double disc as well. Also convincing Eddie to showcase his film at a huge upcoming anime convention. Hopefully news will come of this soon.
ReplyDeletelol, I was wondering why you hadn't report on the donations page & swag. It has been up since April 26th, but I didn't catch it until yesterday. Donate $400 and get Protoman's costume from the movie!
ReplyDeleteWow, for a fan film they're pulling all the stops. Anime convention screening, DVD, prequel comic.
