One more thing for the geeks to complain about…
Faced with a grass-roots boycott of its films, bicoastal protests at screenings of its Friday opener “Superhero Movie” and a campaign calling its co-chairman “Darth Weinstein,” the Weinstein Co. said Monday that it now plans to release two versions of “Fanboys.” The company said it will release the two versions on DVD, and a company source later said that is exploring two theatrical versions. “Fanboys,” about four diehard “Star Wars” fans who break into George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch in order to see “The Phantom Menace” on the eve of its release, wrapped production two years ago and has been stuck in limbo as a tug-of-war between Harvey Weinstein and the filmmakers waged over competing versions of the movie.
