I don't know about you guys, but when I see the title, original music
by christopher guest, eugene levy, michael mckean, harry shearer, etc.
I know the movie is going to be awesome. I don't know why but I just
adore all those quirky songs of their's. I own all the soundtracks
except for Guffman which I still can't seem to find anywhere in the
world, but if anyone knows where I can find it, it would be
appreciated!

Very excited about this movie, can't wait to see Ricky in this!

Check ebay. Someone is selling what seems to be a fine quality
bootlegs. It's worth getting, if only to hear the last line in "Bubby
Made A Kishka".

IMDB has posted a release date of January 20th, 2006!! That is awesome
news, except i thought Chris Guest usually took many many months to
edit the hours of footage he usually gets from all the improv actors.
Doesnt Jan. 20th seem awfully soon? I mean I hope it is because I cant
wait to see it... but i dunno.

any thoughts?

Yeah, the imdb seems to have this one wrong. The tentative release
date is now October 2006:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470765/board/nest/24257915

Which is still significantly faster than normal. It took them about 18
months to edit A Mighty Wind because of all the footage, whereas
they'll only have 10 or 11 on this one. Maybe they plan on having less
than their typical 80-hours worth of footage to sift through, being
that it's not documentary style??

Oh wow, exciting day!! A new interview with Eugene Levy (from zap2it)
was just posted and he's got lots of new details about FYC.

Including:
-Chris Guest will be playing director in more ways than one, taking on
the role of Jay Berman, an independent film director
-Eugene will play Morley Orfkin, the head of a talent agency
-despite not being listed on the imdb yet, Jennifer Coolidge's name is
listed among the cast members
-also, Ricky Gervais apparently has just a "little part"... so I guess
we were wrong about him being the main actor in question... my vote
switches to Mike McKean :)

Anyways, it's a great article and there's lots more including a more
in-depth plot summary. The full interview is here:
http://www.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---26542,00.html

Also, in another interview, Eugene names Christopher Moynihan (who
played the newest Mainstreet Singer in AMW) and Rachel Harris as two
people who will have bigger roles in the new movie.

Wow, tons of new information in this article.

Kudo craziness
Guest and company to send up season

Christopher Guest has decided to make a movie about the shooting of a
bad movie. In the process, the man who gave us "Best In Show" intends
to do a sendup of awards season.
Warner Independent Pictures is targeting "For Your Consideration,"
which Castle Rock Entertainment will produce, for a fall 2006 release.

Ricky Gervais will join a roster of thesps who've appeared in Guest's
previous pics, including Catherine O'Hara, Parker Posey, Harry
Shearer, Eugene Levy, Bob Balaban, Jennifer Coolidge, Michael McKean
and Fred Willard.

The film won't be a mockumentary in the style of Guest's "Waiting for
Guffman," "Best in Show" or "A Mighty Wind" but instead centers on a
movie-within-a-movie that will be largely improvised. Guest is
directing and co-writing with Levy.

Pic revolves around three actors shooting a small indie film whose
lives are turned upside down when buzz starts that their performances
are awards-worthy.

Guest said the movie won't be about the Academy Awards, although Oscar
is mentioned once. "Consideration" will end just before award
nominations are announced.

"We all know many people who have been through this reality, and how
it changes them. This happens to be an area I know something about.
It's a virus," Guest told Daily Variety.

The filmmaker said he and Levy had great fun writing the script for
the movie-within-a-movie, titled "Home for Purim," which takes place
in the South in the mid-1940s.

"Home for Purim" is an "extraordinarily poorly written movie. It's a
melodrama, and it's just awful. These actors never would have imagined
that this movie was going to change their lives," Guest said.

Gervais will play the head of a studio's specialty division producing
"Purim," while Guest will play a director who has shot 18 sitcom
pilots, none of which have gone to series. Levy will play an agent.
The three actors will be played by O'Hara, Posey and Shearer.

The saga begins when one of the actresses is told of an Internet rumor
that she's sure to be nominated for an award. A morning talkshow
co-anchor talks about awards chances with her male lead. And the pic's
third thesp is engulfed in similar rumors. "They are just buffeted
around by the weirdness of what happens," Guest said.

The indie film biz is sure to recognize itself in "Consideration,"
particularly the specialty film divisions at major studios.

In Guest's movie, "Home for Purim" is being produced by Sunshine
Classics, an arm of U.K.-based studio Hemisphere.

In real life, Guest's movie will be distributed by such a specialty
arm -- Warner Independent. In the past, Warner Bros. had distributed
Guest's films, but that was before Warner Independent was created.
Guest said Warner Independent was a natural fit.

Karen Murphy is producing, while Shangri-La Entertainment is financing
the pic, which will film in early October in Los Angeles.

Warner Independent president Mark Gill and exec Michael Andreen will
supervise, while Martin Shafer and Liz Glotzer will oversee for Castle
Rock Entertainment.

Date in print: Wed., Aug. 24, 2005, Los Angeles

Ooh, thanks for the update, Keymaster. I can't believe this movie is
coming out so soon (relatively!). I had myself prepared for mid-2007.

Also, this isn't earth-shattering, but Eugene revealed a bit more
about his character in a recent interview:
"I play an agent who used to be partners in a very large talent
agency," Levy says. "My partner died and everybody left. Evidently he
was the brains of the outfit, so now my setup couldn't be smaller. I
have absolutely no clout in the business but still consider myself a
player."

Sounding good. I still hope he gets to play an *beep* haha.
