Kirsten Bell is know for the TV series 'Veronica Mars'.<br>

(imagine a fiesty quick witted teenage crime sleuth stuck in the drama filled world of upper and lower class California. The situations can get annoying but Bell and Colantoni's relationship made up for the nonsense.)

Fanboys has the ability to be a rental DVD success. There's so much random late 70's early 80's generic pop culture trivia references to make this a netflix hit. The conflict between sci-fi franchises will reestablish the normals apathy towards geek culture and mild drug and sex references will appeal to the teenage sect.

Listening to the audio commentary it's fascinating listening to the conflict between the producer's love of SW and the actors mild appeal to the subject.

Shawn of the Deli's review covers the recent story, but the script was written 10+ years ago. A low budget version started filming (one or two scenes are mentioned being filmed in the writers blog) before the project got into the Hollywood pipeline.

At the same time as the Fanboys script was becoming the favorite of Aint-It-Cool-News, there was an anti-thesis script which focused on a group of kids who plot to kill George Lucas. This script was actually made shortly after the script was written and can be viewed as a podcast here: http://dielucasdie.com/
