BasKerplunCase Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I'm going to keep hoping. With my fingers crossed.
mallorymaloney Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 i want this to be released more than almost anything. but i don't think it's going to happen. That's what I've been saying all along, but every time I do, someone neg reps me. I'm just like, 'lol really?'
BasKerplunCase Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I'm still going to look forward, and hope for it. Because it's still possible!
pasalaska Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I'm highly confident that HLAHG is going to be released, just based on the fact that John Roecker keeps updating and saying it is. I mean, it's pointless for him to say it's being released when it's not going to be, and he'd want to get it released just as much as we all want to see it. You don't work on a project for years just to have it sit on a shelf collecting dust. Plus, with Rob Cavallo now head of Warner, things may start to gather a bit of momentum. Hopefully he can cut through Warner's crap and get this thing out there sooner rather than later.
pasalaska Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 What kind of movie is this? A documentation? John Roecker filmed 300 hours of the band writing, recording and basically creating American Idiot, so the film is all that condensed into a movie-length documentary
kerplunk_chick Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Well, it was very long (and we saw it after John had cut it down from 3 hours). It had serious problems with the audio in some sections. There was some content that didn't seem that necessary to advance the movie; and there was some that I think Green Day, their families, and or Warner Bros might not want to see released for public consumption. All that said, there were moments of incredible brilliance (as Andres and I discussed in our recap/review for GDA). I hope it does get released because it's hard to remember much of a movie that I only saw once ... so long ago ... well, aside for the parts the family wouldn't want released, i would hope they would leave everything in it. At least release a full version versus an edited one, because i personally would love to see it in full, no cuts. haha.
Opezi Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 okkay, ill say it again. HLAHG needs to be realeased as a DVD. for everyones sake. i really want to watch it
pasalaska Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I wanna seee it ...I think everyone on this forum wants to see it...
a peculiar name Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 i want this to be released more than almost anything. but i don't think it's going to happen. It is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2014 or 2015!!! What? I don't get that. I thought HLAHG is being produced by now? Somebody clear me up please! It is already finished! But Warner Bro's don't want to release it till 2014
Jacob. Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 It is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2014 or 2015!!! With a movie being released in 2013 for the American Idiot musical, I don't think they'd release another within one to two years. It is Green Day, and after all, they like to make us wait at least 5 years for another release.

John is alread going crazy cause he wants everyone to see what he saw. GREEN DAY don't want us to wait at all!!!!!!! Billie said "oh just release it! Fuck Warner Bros!" ..well he was drunk when he said that haha But it's really WB's fault. - NOT Green Day's.

John hopes they'll release it but that's about it, Warner/Green Day have never given a date for it to be out. I sympathise with John because he's made this film and obviously wants it released, but he hasn't been honest about it. He kept saying it was definitely set to come out and it was confirmed etc when it clearly wasn't. And he says it's just Warner but if Green Day really wanted it out it would be out. Or at the very least they would've said something about it. As it is I've never heard one word out of the band's mouths about it. I hope we get to see it one day but I'm not counting on it. All we can do is not get our hopes up too much and wait and see.
Jacob. Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Was he trying to tease fans when he was posting pictures of him editing the extras and such?

Yeah it was never 100% sure, but that's also cause he is very controversial. Tre & Mike are naked in the movie and he wouldn't let Warner censor that. But he fights for the movie and he will make it! Warner said that they wanned to wait till the 10th anniversary or some shit, that's why they said 2014. That date is pretty fix since a year. Was he trying to tease fans when he was posting pictures of him editing the extras and such? Haha holy shit, no!
Jacob. Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Haha holy shit, no! I think part of him was trying to tease those fans who were friends with him.

I believe John will continue to try and get it released, and I hope he's successful. According to John they've said they want to release it in 2014 but that is not confirmed by either Warner or Green Day. Like I said John obviously hopes it'll be released and is trying to get it released. But other than that there's no guarantees.
a peculiar name Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I think part of him wanted to tease those fans who were friends with him. Only a bit. He Thinks they are just friends with him because of the movie ( and LF! DF! ) I believe John will continue to try and get it released, and I hope he's successful. According to John they've said they want to release it in 2014 but that is not confirmed by either Warner or Green Day. Like I said John obviously hopes it'll be released and is trying to get it released. But other than that there's no guarantees. The point is; everything is finished and Green Day want it to be released since it was filmed. Warner is the enemy.
Jacob. Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Only a bit. He Thinks they are just friends with him because of the movie ( and LF! DF! ) All the Green Day fans, at least. That's the reason I was friends with him. But he was also kind of funny, and for the most part, I enjoyed most of the stuff he had to say.

Hermione Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Was he trying to tease fans when he was posting pictures of him editing the extras and such? I think he was just trying to keep people's interest in it up. Same with saying "it's definitely coming out next year!" and stuff like that. He's trying to get it released and if fans stay interested and support him it helps. I'd prefer less of the fibbing about it definitely coming out, but posting pictures etc and talking about it is a nice way of keeping fans excited about it and wanting to see it.
koolkev Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I'd love to see this... But it's defenitly not happening in the next year....
Tripe Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I'm skeptical too. As much as John may want it released, he's not the one who has to give the OK for it to go. The Mike nudity in the movie was nothing to speak of - you couldn't see anything scandalous at all. I believe it was during a swimming scene and the filming during that part was incredibly grainy and herky-jerky. It was over in literally an instant. I don't remember seeing Tre naked at all in the firm. Then again, that's not that much of a novelty, so maybe I just don't remember it, snort.
Hermione Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 The point is; everything is finished and Green Day want it to be released since it was filmed. Warner is the enemy. According to John, yeah. But if Green Day want it out so much why have I never heard them say one word about this film? I haven't heard them even mention John Roecker for years. If they wanted it out and were being prevented from having it out they would've at the very least dropped a hint about it or mentioned it at some point. If they wanted to they could get it released. I like John and I hope he gets his film out. But it's clear not everything he's said about it is true. All I'm saying is don't get your hopes up over anything until the band confirms it - because if something's happening with it, they will.
