The movie that just won't die.......

I found this on HDA website.

There is also a small mention in the May 16 issue of Entertainment Weekly. As I read it I had a thought.......EW magazine posts their email address and I thought we should all send an email protesting the movie. Letting Ben Stiller and the production company know how we feel about them making parody of the Hardys.

I totally agree with you Lola, let's flood their inbox with messages! It was bad enough already, but now this! I don't even want to think what part Victoria would play in a Hardy Boys movie!

It would be a good idea to protest, but I'm wondering if it will actually benefit us. I've heard that a lot of attention, even negative, lets producers know that there is some kind of interest, however bad

What's the old saying, all publicity's good publicity? Who knows, but I agree, it looks like its just going to make fun of the Hardys. I don't even want to think how they'll portray Chet!

[Kerin]

I know.
It's the same with the new Nancy Drew movie.I didn't watch because it looked like they were making fun of her.
It's the same thing with this movie.

Nice, although you messed up the title for Casefiles #32.  Its not Will To Kill, it is actually called Blood Money.  (Boy, did the casefiles ever have nicer titles than the UB's.  Somehow I just don't see titles like Blood Money or Flesh and Blood fitting into the UB series lineup, if S&S were ever thinking about using titles like those.)

Why must they ruin a good thing. Nancy Drew, Dukes of Hazzard everything. why dont they just leave it alone. I dont want the hardy boys ruin too.

i say just no1 go watch the movie, hit them where it hurts, their pockets. if it is a flop at the box office, they will think twice b4 making another retarded movie in attempts to destroy the great classic that is the Hardy Boys!


and i can just see them having beckham play iola. *shudders* that would be a great character ruined if i ever saw 1

Yeah, I hear ya. I used to watch The Dukes of Hazzard TV series from the '80's in reruns and even met the actress who plays Daisy and the actor who plays Cooter. I'm pretty sure none of the cast appreciate the exploitation.

It better flop. And LOL at the Iola thing haha. But you know, even if it does flop they will probably do some kind of damage control or pretend it didn't even exist.

[devoika86]

as they should, cuz this movie should never exist. thats just a crime against a classic right there

[Jokerette]

if they have to make a HB movie they could least make it cartoon so that the characters could actually look right!

[tomswift2002]

Why would you want a cartoon?  The past has shown us that the Hardy Boys are more popular when they get the right actors.us

I see what you mean, but it's already going ahead, so we really have nothing to lose!

[Jokerette]

i'm only so old so i still enjoy cartoons!*stiffly*
