Somebody Made a Mega Man Movie
posted by The Joe
When Eddie Lebron’s fan-made Mega Man trailer was released a few months ago, I didn’t realize that he’d actually made a full-length film. Destructoid has transcribed a Q&A session with the director at MAGFest 2009, and among other things, Lebron had this to say -
Q: When will this movie be released?
Lebron: Originally it was supposed to be released a month ago. Before summer — that’s my main goal right now. I’ve lightened my other film loads just so I can focus on this and get this done before the summer. It’s going to be out by the end of the year.
Q: How will this be released?
Lebron: The film will first be premiered in New York, screening for all those involved. And then, a week or two later, it will come online. Fan film festivals, conventions, doing Q&As like this, talking more in-depth about it… I assume people will have more questions after watching the whole film.
And being a total Mega Man geek, I’m thrilled someone asked this question that was on my mind -
Q: Is there a hovercraft for Dr. Wily?
Lebron: He does have his craft. That’s how he commutes. It’s pretty much the same design, a little more realistic, but it’s in there. He uses it for about 60% of the film before he hides off in his castle.
Awesome! It all looks cheap, but its mere existence is kind of nice.
