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! >:(

Olivia

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!
Don't worry, I have a plan.

Right. Every time you say that, I usually do something stupid, like jump in a septic tank.

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. :-\
If Christ had been a philosopher, they could have debated Him.Had He been a religionist, they could have ignored Him.But Christ was love.What do you do with that?

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.)

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 :-\

if they have to make a HB movie they could least make it cartoon so that the characters could actually look right!
I know that all you need is love, but I believe an Xbox Kinnect is pretty essential too, am I 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!
