Happy Indie-Pendence Day!
The Foot Fist Way (5/30/08)
Box Office (or Lack Thereof): $0.1M (still tracking)
Big Star(s), Little Movie? Lead Danny McBride is on the verge of becoming Will Ferrell territory (he stars prominently in August’s Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder) and has already been welcome with open arms into the comedy troupe of Judd Apatow & Associates, but when Foot Fist was originally made, in 2006, he was a no-name.
Big-Studio Deal Breaker: Foot Fist is old (as noted above)--like really old. While rereleasing an on-the-shelf film is a cool novelty move for a smaller studio, that’s not how the larger studios roll--unless it’s a movie featuring Al Pacino.
