With all the novel business almost completely out of the way (almost...), I was finally able to pick up my camera and dick around with my friends (something I haven't been able to do for some time).  We decided to go out and create the world's first Moon Knight fan film (how this came about is a long story, but the final product will be solid).  Check out the teaser below and look for the final product (hopefully) at the end of June (or maybe early July).  Enjoy!

I noticed a few actors from The Willie and The Grace in "I Heart Moon Knight"

It looks quite entertaining. How long is the final project?

Yeah, just about everyone from TWAT-G makes some kind of appearance... as for the final runtime, I would guess around fifteen minutes or so.

Editing is taking a bit longer than expected, but we are finally completely done filming... here's a quick screenshot we took from the last day of our Namor being oggled by actor supreme (and Thor) Brett Anderson... no special effects of any kind have been added...

At first I didn't see what you meant by "No special effects added" and then I saw it. That's funny.

I first thought I had stumbled onto the wrong website...

Welp, editing is complete and so is formatting... and the final product can now be viewed on YouTube... here's the link to the first part.  The second part (conclusion) as well as outtakes can be found to the right of the film, along the related search toolbar.

P.S.: Look for my hulking frame as, well, The Hulk in a quick, beer-guzzling cameo (which I actually performed with a 16 oz. can of Natural Ice... gross, I know).  Enjoy!

I really enjoyed them. I think this shows growth from T.W.A.T. G as both a director and a team doing comedy.

Very good stuff but I must say with the wealth of superheroes to make fun of and or use... Why would you use most of the marquee figures and not some of the more obscure ones mentioned near the end by... I didn't get who that guy was. He looked like Fred Flintstone combined with the Devil.

Overall for a fan film it was pretty good. Entertainment is what I look for in films and shorts and this certainly was that.

Hollywood will never do anything like this because everything has to make money. No chances can be taken. Some might consider The Phantom with Billy Zane or the old Batman series to be comedy entertainment but they didn't try.

The outtakes were pretty funny as well.

Having just checked out the picture above I don't see anything strange here.  If anything I feel slightly sorry for the guy in the tight shorts, if you have nothing to show, hide it!

Wow!  Look at that codpiece!  Get it?  Codpiece?  COD piece?

Screw all of you, then.

The guy in the red shirt if I understand it right was a "slow" Irish fella. He has a better role in the outtakes though.

It would have been funny if they replaced Moon Knight with the slow guy to further knock him down.

I enjoyed it, but I kept thinking of that Comcast commercial every time Spider Man was on camera.

The resemblance was uncanny.

Wes,

Fred Flintstone/Devil was Namor, the Submariner

We were filming as that commercial aired, and I thought the resembelence was pretty funny too.

Brett was also Thor, though it was generally agreed by the time we finished that he probably should have played every single character in the film.

I don't know, they all worked. Especially Punisher. That guy was bad ass.

It would have been funny too see him as all the characters at the same time but you could never do asny two shots and the characters cannot play off each other.

I'm sure Adam will be very happy to hear that... Wesley, as a fan of TWAT-G, you may not have realized it, but Punisher was the same actor whom portrayed Grim (though he has grown his hair out since then and has all kind of piercings now).

A lot of them looked familiar.

On An Evening with Kevin Smith - Evening Harder he says that if he made a superhero movie that it would be a bunch of guys talking.

You did that and contrary to what Kevin Smith said, it actually works better than if you had tried to add a bunch of action snippets.

It also helped that all of the dialogue in the movie was either improvised or, when it was scripted, was based on real conversations I've had with my friends (notably the admitingly stoned debate about Iceman vs. Human Torch).  If you enjoyed this, you should check out the little-seen movie 'The Specials,' which was a big inspiration, especially in regards to the opening credits sequence.
