Metanoia Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 what's this for a movie? a very long making of american idiot the album (not the short released version) yo ucan see a pool party,billie taking naps in the studio and talking about how he hates if people hate green day but then think hes hot so pleeeeeeeeease any news on this shit ?
minorty13 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Grr I have no idea what the deal is. John was supposed to find out last week but he hasn't posted any word on it. So either Warner is taking their own sweet time getting back to him, or it's bad news and he doesn't want to say... or I guess it could be good news and he doesn't want to tell us... which wouldn't make sense, but you never know
Jacob. Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Maybe someone thats friends with him on Facebook could send him a message and ask him about it?
Liam Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Maybe someone thats friends with him on Facebook could send him a message and ask him about it? i just sent him one so lets hope i get a reply. EDIT: i got a reply and he said soon son soon
Jacob. Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 i just sent him one so lets hope i get a reply. EDIT: i got a reply and he said soon son soon What is he waiting for? I want to hear about it now!
Tashidge Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 He has to wait for a call from Steve - I assume it's Steve that's calling him [steven Tyler Salhein for all of those who are on Facebook - wonderful man he is]. Steve won't know anything until Warner or whoever is deciding has made their decision.

Steven Samuels Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I think what's pissing me off about this is you've got all the Green Day fans on one side who will pay to see this, John, who wants to get his baby out in the world, a perfect climate for it to be released with the opening of the Broadway Musical, and one guy sitting on his ass with the green light button next to him and what's he doing? Nothing. (Probably playing an advanced copy of Green Day: Rock Band) There is really no reason to NOT release this. It'll make plenty of money, and will satisfy thousands of people.

I also think it will make tons of money. Because the musical is out people may be interested in seeing the making of the album. I want to see this so bad. The hour clip they showed on Fuse was really interesting and funny I can imagine how 2 hours or more will be. They have to release it! They just have to!
Joy of suburbia. Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I really want John to get that call and I really want Warner to say, "You have the green light...it's a go." I really want to see this movie so bad...like, I'm dying to see it. it just sounds like an epic movie than every Green Day fan should see.
Hermione Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 This! I also think it will make tons of money. Because the musical is out people may be interested in seeing the making of the album. I want to see this so bad. The hour clip they showed on Fuse was really interesting and funny I can imagine how 2 hours or more will be. They have to release it! They just have to! Exactly. I can maybe see why they didn't want it released a couple of years ago, when all the hype around American Idiot was over and the band was out of the public eye again. That would've been a strange time to put out a making of the album, really. But now the AI musical's out it's the perfect time! The only explanation I can think of is they want to portray Green Day in a certain way (which is part of their job as a record company), and they're being control freaks about it. If HLAHG doesn't portray the band the exact way they want them portrayed right now, they're not gonna want it out. Could be they want a cleaner-cut image of the band to go with the musical? Hope I'm wrong
netty Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 who is this "they" you keep going on about? warner? the usual enemy? I thought people thought warner were all about making money. so who is blocking this? not that I actually know.
IscoredWaddlesgoals Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I understand that John wants to get this out, but I'm starting to get a bit frustrated at the constant teasing about how it'll be soon. If it is a question of image, then why don't Warners start taking stuff off Youtube and giving them press training ? What could be in this film that's so much worse than the things they've done/said before ? Or at least can't be edited out ? I also find it strange (that if it is their record company that are doing this) the band themselves seemed to have sat back and watched a supposedly close friend waste his time. If they've got that much freedom and they haven't sold out, they should support him.

If they've got that much freedom and they haven't sold out, they should support him. I know there's nothing that shocking in the film. All I'm saying is promoting a band means deciding what will help promote the band's latest project the way they want, and what won't. Maybe they've decided this falls into the "won't" category for whatever reason. Who knows, I'm just speculating. I find it strange too. I get the impression that Green Day don't involve themselves that much in the non-music side of things, and I assume that's their own choice. But when we have a director who's always said he's good friends with Billie, who's spent days, weeks and months on this film, you might expect to have at least heard something from Green Day on the subject. You'd think if they had the power to do something they'd do it. And if they don't have the power, I wonder why they'd be with a company/contract that gives them so little say. Can't understand it either way.
LetItBeHappy Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 i'm pretty sure that, at least twice, John said that Billie was frustrated about this too :/ Something tells me that the guys just have control in the music, not the rest
Tubbie Head Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 i'm pretty sure that, at least twice, John said that Billie was frustrated about this too :/ Something tells me that the guys just have control in the music, not the rest Yeah, that's why I hate these huge companies like warner, they take over the band, and I hate how they just can't do anything about it!! grrr
Metanoia Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 i'm pretty sure that, at least twice, John said that Billie was frustrated about this too :/ Something tells me that the guys just have control in the music, not the rest i often do think so too......... :/ it suck so bad!
