15 days to go

Posted on by

I can’t believe it but the release date is finally almost here!

Ken and I wrote the first draft of Wanderlust five(!) years ago this month and since then the movie has been rewritten, cast, prepped, shot, edited, tested, sound mixed, color corrected, and is now 35mm prints are being sent to theaters all over the country, and then the world (According to IMDB, in Romania the title is With the World on his Head and in Portugal it’s Love and Other Scenes.)

Our focus now is getting the word out.  We have the trailer, which is always such a challenge — to communicate a whole movie in 2.5 minutes.  And then even harder to do it 30-second TV spots. Oh by the way there’s a new TV spot out today – here it is:


Over the next two weeks the cast and I will be doing as many interviews as we possibly can, hoping to get everyone to come check out the movie we’ve all put so much love and sweat into!  Spread the word in YOUR world — put together a Wanderlust outing that weekend and send me photos and I’ll post them here!

Watch my twitter feed and this blog for updates on various TV appearances and press – it’s gonna be a crazy couple of weeks.

  1. Feb 24th cannot get here soon enough. I’ll do my part to spread the word and fight the good fight! You need to come up with a really badass street team name so that we seem all tough and rugged when we’re spreading the gospel on the streets. Something like Lil’ Wainers or David’s Waingels. Then we’ll work out and get muscles and take to the street where our brand of street song and dance will melt the hearts of all who see it. Then you win the box office weekend. $uccess!

  2. The last few months, every time I have someone over, we either watch Wet Hot American Summer or Role Models. I’ve never gotten tired of either. Can’t wait for Wanderlust!

  3. I’ve watched the trailer for this a dozen times. Can’t wait for it to come out to a theater near me looks hilarious!!! you guys are the shiznitskies!

  5. Oh boy! I didn’t even realize Marino was involved! I tell yas, you two working together and yas can do no wrong. I’m a little ashamed I didn’t know more about the credits to this movie. But I promise that what I lack in frequenting IMDB, I’ll make up for with cold, hard cash on opening weekend. To make good on that promise, I just popped my wallet in the freezer, since I so often keep my cash soft and warm. POINT IS: I give money, you give giggles – everybody wins!
