i was just wondering if anybody knows what happened to the Project Greenlight Flick "Feast" that was supposed to come out ages ago. :confused:
 
It was suppose to come out in February but I doubt it will get a wide release. It seems so goofy. IT has cult potential but thats it.
 
did it get stuck somewhere in the production line or something?
 
Schlock horror film "Feast" is now scheduled for September 22nd.
 
It's comes out on the 22nd of September in 'Midnight screenings only'. The DVD is out before Halloween.
 
Gee, way to have faith in the project.

I refuse to believe they couldn't put another two or three mill towards the film. Has Gulager done much since? I kinda liked the guy, and the short film he submitted to Project Greenlight in the first place was pretty impressive.
 
I remember watching the Project Greenlight with that Gulager guy.
 
thanks, i had a heard a lot of good things about the film and i was really interested in seeing it and then... nothing. meh. will pick up the dvd hopefully :up:

Yeah i know what you mean. i watched the whole season of that project green light.
 
I just saw it in Film Club here at UCF. Despite some of the shoddiest camera work and overly dark cinematography I've seen in a while, it was a pretty entertaining movie.
 
It was hilarious. It just came out on DVD Tuesday. Lots of gore and plenty of funny lines. Great movie and I will be adding it to my collection.
 
Damn it,I got that confused with Pans Labrintyh. I was hunting for Pans like a doofus. :huh:
 
Because this movie was a DTV,it proves that Project Greenlight was a crappy show with no point. Feast should've gotten the wide release. I would've been pissed to be the guys who made this movie. (Gulager, I think)
 
It's not that there wasn't a point, but it just seemed like they just wanted to make cheap coming of age indie flicks, and then acted shocked when they didn't turn a profit. Had Feast been released in say a thousand to fifteen hundred theaters, it would have at least made enough to turn a profit. It only cost three million!! Haven't films like Saw and Hostel taught them anything? Low-budget gorefests with minimal CGI can triple their budgets on opening weekend alone!
 
^Yep.

For DTV's, especially horror, money isn't really made as people think they are some low budget, waste of time, waste of money, half-assed flicks.
See No Evil (WWE, Kane's flick) was said to be crappy, but made enough money in the box office. Feast should've taken advantage of it. Just one opening weekend would've been fine. This movie would've definitely made more than 3 mill easily. Who knows how BAD Feast will do on DTV.
 
I really don't know much about this movie, but chances are if it had been released in theaters, it would have at least doubled it's profit. There are enough people out there who love sh**y horror movies that they'll go and see anything with gore in it. And whether this movie was good or bad (I haven't seen it so I can't say), with a budget of only 3 million, it almost makes you wonder why they didn't even try to put it into wide release. Marketing probably wouldn't have costed anymore than the marketing that they're doing now, advertising it as the "DVD event of the year" which is sure to make people pass it up because that makes it sound like a movie so crappy they wouldn't even release it to theaters. And when you consider that movies like "Little Man" and "From Justin to Kelly" made it to theaters, it only makes this movie look REALLY bad to the general public.
