Hey Everybody... I'm deep in the trenches of my new script... so I haven't had much time for MySpace and whatnot...

I've been doing a lot of foreign press for SLiTHER.  Here are some other release dates for the movie.  These can change at anytime:

April 19 - Belgium & France

April 21 - Turkey

April 28 - The UK

May 11 - Germany

July 7 - Italy

If you guys know of any other dates -- or if any of these are incorrect -- please let me know.

SLiTHER will also be showing as the closing night film of the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival.

Also - fake MySpace profiles are popping up for various SLiTHER actors on MySpace.  The ONLY actors who have MySpace pages from SLiTHER of whom I'm aware are Michael Rooker and Jenna Fischer (as Pam Beesly) (and -- added edit -- as Newski pointed out -- Lloyd Kaufman).  Nathan Fillion, for instance, definitely DOES NOT have a MySpace page, and all pages that claim to be him are fan pages.  Just so you know.  (And -- added edit -- yes, I am 100ure about this.  I talked to Nathan about it last night.)

Yesterday, Nathan and I did the DVD commentary for SLiTHER.  It was a lot of fun, and I can tell you more about that later.

YES!!!! audio commentary by you and nathan sounds fantastic!!! i draw to audio commentaries and i can't wait to draw to this one. can't wait to be able to get the DVD.

I guess we don't know when Slither is opening in Australia. Maybe it has already and I missed here. Would like to see it with a bunch of Aussies now though.

Have fun with the script.

It is opening in Australia, because I've been doing a lot of Australian press.  I just don't know when.  I think Stu knows.  Stu, you around?

Boy, do I feel like an idiot. Nathan's page seemed real to me, but you never know in the webworld. Shoot. Good luck with the writing. I can't wait to hear some juicy details.~ Linda

You're not alone!  It seemed real to me too.  And I was, like, what... I was surprised her didn't tell me about it.  So I checked last night and it's a no go.

Hi,

 

Renee, SLiTHER opens in Australia on May 18th, the same day as The Da Vinci Code, which is dumb coz I doubt itll make much in-between Mission Impossible 3, X-men 3 and Da Vinci, but hopefully fans still show. Only 4 weeks to go, cant wait.

 

Its also great to hear that the commentary for SLiTHER is already done. Does anyone know when the SLiTHER soundtrack will come out? As for Nathans fake Myspace page, I assumed it was a fake!

 

Anyway, good luck with the script Jamesand Happy Easter to everyone!!

 

Stu!

Thanks for clearing up the whole Myspace bit.. I had my suspitions in the first place.. I vote Nathan Get a myspace account and cyber punt the phoneys hehe.. But then that's just my stupid opinion.. XP

Can't wait for The DVD. Any plans on special editions DVDs?  I wanna buy a copy with ALL the bells and whistles heh

Just our regular old DVD is going to have a HUGE amount of bells and whistles.  SLiTHER gives you it's all without jacking you for the "Special Edition" cost.  But, again, more on that later...

YAY cool.. Cause otherwise I tend to end up with two or three copies of every movie I have.. Can't wait.. I'm already goin through withdrawls cause I can't go to Laughlin again.

*Note to self to think before typing*  Actually it's prolly better if Nathan remains myspaceless cause otherwise he might see the gag comic series I've been posting.. unless someone's already showed him.. *Looks around acusingly* XP

Screw my space.  You just get that script down because god knows I'd love to see it despite how unlikely that's looking (can you finish it, film it and have it released in 8-10 months? lol)

The fact that you even bother having a my space and communicating with us fans is amazing.  You're the main reason I got a my space and I've only been a fan for 'bout 5 months.

The dvd sounds awesome.  I'd love to see it , but first I got to see the movie!!

And the Nathan fake, what a saddo!

WOOHOO, can't wait for the DVD now.  James you are beyond evil making me desperate for the DVD when the film is yet to be released .  Any idea on the release of that one?  I'm just playing .

Uhhh - I'm kinda concerned about the Nate myspace then, how on earth that person get those photos?!  At least you've kinda given him the heads up on a stalker...or an annoying brother perhaps lol.

Jetflair (I think it was her..) said that the pics were ripped from Nathan's Brother's Ebay auctions (Which are legit) So now we all know where the convincing pics came from..

I wasn't even aware of the whole Ebay thing.. not like I could afford anything there heh.

Well, it's probably just a fan and the guy doesn't mean any harm.  And, by the way, I'm sure it's not Nathan's brother.  He's an awesome guy and he may have a MySpace page one day -- but I doubt it'd be one pretending to be his brother.

There are a bunch of fake Office folks online, so we're used to having this around here.  Most of them are well meaning folks who are just playing around and don't intend to betray the trust of fans.

Well strictly speaking you're a fake.  I mean, I thought you were Grant Grant and you're just some guy called James. 

I'm upset.  I want my big, cuddly, "bee sting" Grant

Sweet!  Can't wait for the SLiTHER dvd!  I'm sure the commentary will be hilarious as well.  As far as that Nathan page... I was almost convinced it was his.  My wife kept telling me it was a fake, but I just wanted to believe man!  I just wanted to BELIIIEVE!

Thanks for the info!

HAPPY HOLIDAY!

A dvd with commentary by you and Nathan?  You, sir, are an enabler. LOL  I'm not saying that I've seen Slither a lot in the theaters, but when I went last night, the ticket seller asked what showing of Slither I wanted before I even said anything.  Now I just have to patiently await the dvd so I can amuse myself at home.

thanks james and stu!! i'm so psyched to see it again with a new crowd. i'll try to get all the people i know out to see it. i know a few that it's made for. we'll try to recruit some of the people away from that stupid davinci code movie (even though bettany is playing an albino) to see slither.

oh, james, one of my friends saw hills have eyes and said, "well, if i hadn't seen slither the other night this might have had a chance."

and my friends have all been watching 'eaten alive' telling me i HAVE to see it. there's a dead monkey on the porch. go tobe.

cheers guys.

Oh, yeah, Nathan's a fake.

And I suppose next your going to tell me that's not the real cast of MASH on my myspace friends list.

*cricket chirp*

Ah, hell.

Lloyd Kaufman's Myspace is still real. I mean, he does advertise it on troma.com. Anyway, can't wait to hear about your next movie. It better not suck.

Thanks for the heads up.  I thought it was real.  I can't wait for the Slither DVD now!  A commentary with Nathan and you sounds great.

Can't wait to hear more about the commentary track, let alone what other features are to come on the DVD. Oh, and a possible street date, of course. I'm glad you and Nate had fun with it. If it's a fraction of how funny the behind-the-scenes short that's linked than it should be quite an enjoyable listen!

Thanks for the heads-up on who, and who doesn't, have a myspace page. Since Rooker got one we all should jump on the "Chuck Norris Facts" bandwagon and come up with a list in honor of the Rooker. "Michael Rooker likes to donate his celebrity by helping others, such as reaching out to those kicking drug habits. Dealing with one addict at a time he locks himself in a 86 degree heated room along with the addict and works his magic. The longest it ever took for an addict to come out clean was 14 minutes. Man, what a stubborn sonovabitch that person was!" Or something like that.
