Good morning Wilmywood! Crazy weather for the next two days, so please prepare! The SNOWpocalypse is COMING! Done? Good, let’s get going!
Our North Carolina shot Bad Grandpa is out on DVD and Blu Ray today! Not only do we get to enjoy the movie all over again, but of course the bonus features will be super fun with this flick.
Johnny Knoxville is REALLY looking forward to you grabbing a copy. “We had so much hilarious footage that we had to cut for various reasons, so I’m psyched that people are going to get to see everything, especially when it’s unrated and on Blu-ray. Woohoo!! Plus I think fans will get a kick out of seeing how we pulled off some of the pranks in the behind-the-scenes footage. As Irving would say, ‘The show’s not over until I hogwrench the fat lady’s spatooly.'”
Blu-Ray Combo Pack will come with an Unrated Cut with more footage, along with the regular theatrical version. The set also features over an hour of behind-the-scenes content, deleted scenes and alternate reactions from real people. If you get the single-disc DVD there are NO special features.
One of the next pilots to shoot here soon is already being deemed 2014’s most promising US comedy pilots. Den of Geek has FX’s How and Why third on their list. Why? Because it’s got Charlie Kaufman’s name on it. CHECK IT OUT NOW
Our show Sleepy Hollow is building quite a fan base. Their Facebook page have surpassed one million views.
