A ThrowgnCpr/InvisibleWolfMan co-production - “Fantastic ideas for a Fantastic FanEdit, making the illogical</span> logical.”
Yes, friends you have read correctly. A project born out of a love for two simple things; children’s audio books and the movie GREMLINS. We are currently researching into this project in our spare time (I’ve got a full work load and ThrowgnCpr has not only a full work load but also a few other projects that are always ongoing) and we are aiming towards a release of June 8th, 2009 to coincide with the film’s 25th anniversary. Due to the knowledge of certain existing materials we’ve been able to pool together so far this is already promising to be a multi-volume set. Here is just a minor preview of the materials we’ve been able to assess so far:
• Hardee’s Gremlins 5-part record set from 1984 movie tie-in promotion
• Official GREMLINS read along record which was sold in retail stores
• The vintage 1984 commercial for the Hardee’s record set
• GREMLINS and GREMLINS 2 Topps cards
• GREMLINS and GREMLINS 2 LP soundtracks
• Various GREMLINS books (novelizations, children’s books with drawn artwork)
• Marvel Comic adaptation of GREMLINS
• The Official Movie Magazine
• Vintage 1984 PSA: Proper Care Of A Teenager (an PSA against drunken driving that actually manages to make 30 seconds of various GREMLINS clips seem scary)
• GREMLINS 2 music video
• Footage of the Gremlins Onride at Movieworld Germany
• Various GREMLINS video games footage “play-throughs”
• Brief 3D Gremlin clip
• Vintage 1984 Siskel & Ebert X-RAY clip that focuses on the then-recent PG-13 rating</span>
And that’s just a PREVIEW! We’d like to find out what other materials are out there so don’t be afraid to mention something you’ve noticed or remembered. Perhaps you have an old magazine clipping of a theater ad or maybe a magazine article or better yet, a VHS that has GREMLINS releated advertisements for the films themselves as well as movie related merchandise.
We will create a fanedit out of the Hardee’s read along audio books using the audio from the records and footage from the film. Additionally the unaltered audio from the read along books will accompany a video presentation of the pages from the books (think along the lines of MoveAlong’s bonus feature on The Story of the Empire Strikes Back). Since there are a total of five, it’s possible that the Hardee’s read along book edits will take up 2 discs alone! The rest of the set will be comprised of these other various materials available to us at the time so the possibilities at this point are just endless. We welcome all comments, feedback and suggestions and we’ll try to answer questions when time permits.
