From CineManiac:

Apparently Judd Apatow’s production company has picked up Fanboys and he and co-producer Shauna Robertson have apparently taken the movie under their wing and are making a lot of changes and were doing re-shoots about 2-3 weeks ago.

I love the Apatow crew and with the exception of “Walk Hard” have enjoyed their movies. But I’m hoping they don’t turn this into a “hard” R-rated comedy as the footage I saw was very sweet and was easily PG-13 (it might possibly end up being R, but not because every other word is a cuss word, so please keep it that way). From what I saw the movie didn’t need reworking, which is apparently what the Apatow crew are doing.

Fanboys was originally supposed to be released last summer. It was then set to open Jan. 18 till being pushed back to March. For more info, check out the movie’s MySpace.

Cancer-less 'Fanboys'

In a spy report on AICN that calls the new version of “Fanboys” a “Perfect movie,” adding, “I wouldn’t change a thing,” writer Moriarty also added:

I was at this screening tonight. And there is indeed a version of FANBOYS in which the word “cancer” is never spoken, and in which Linus is not sick. At all.

I’ll say this: the film played well. The audience was very vocal and very demonstrative. They enjoyed it. I’m fairly sure they did well in terms of numbers based on the way the audience sounded during the film. They were with it.
