Whatever happened to 3001?
Sorry if there's already a thread on this movie. I did a search and the only thing I could come up with was the office space SE dvd thread.
Anyway, all signs pointed to mike judge's new movie (unofficially titled 3001) being released late last year but then it kind of dropped off the map. Does anyone know what the current status of this project is?

Re: Whatever happened to 3001?
* Bump *
Idiocracy is apparently getting only a limited release this weekend. It'll be showing here in Houston, so I'll make an effort to see it (I was one of the few people that actually saw Office Space during its theatrical run). Unfortunately, it looks like most of the country will have to wait for the DVD to see this Mike Judge film.

Re: Whatever happened to 3001?
I saw office space in the theater too but looks like I'm going to miss this one since it's not playing anywhere near Columbus and I doubt it will be getting an expanded release after this weekend.

Re: Whatever happened to 3001?
3001 was the fourth book. There was also 2069 which was better than the lackluster 3001.
"If you write a story about a soldier going AWOL and kidnapping a pregnant woman and finally shooting her in the head, it's called searingly realistic, even though it's never happened in the history of mankind. Whereas if you write about two people falling in love, which happens about a million times a day all over the world, for some reason or another, you're accused of writing something unrealistic and sentimental."
-Richard Curtis, Screenwriter and Director

Re: Whatever happened to 3001?
2061, I thought, not 2069?
Was it to do with Halley's Comet? I recall it was to do with landing on Europa, which had been prohibited by The Powers That Be that |

Re: Whatever happened to 3001?
I saw a poster for it a couple of weeks ago so I guess it will be coming here eventually. I was surprised to see Ethan Coen (or was it Joel?)...anyway, listed as a screenwriter. That perked my interest more.
I saw Office Space in the theater too, though I'm not really a fan.

Yes, a craft crashed on Europa and, if you ask me, all of the questions of the series were answered which is what made 3001 so trite and unnecessary.

Idiocracy does open in Atlanta this weekend for a short run. I expect the DVD soom.
