Kickstarter may be used to help fund "Friday Night Lights" movie

Ever since the Veronica Mars and Zach Braff Kickstarter campaigns made tons of money, seems like more producers are looking to go that direction.

Grazer tells me they are absolutely moving forward with a movie version of another Imagine series, Friday Night Lights, and they will likely use crowdfunding to directly tap the rabid fan base of that drama for some of the budget. “We made a terrific feature with Pete Berg, turned it into a terrific TV series and will now make a movie from that series,” Grazer said. “I’m not sure such a thing has been done before.”

I find it hard to believe they need fan money to get this one done. Hollywood looking for handouts

proven filmmakers using kickstarter to finance their projects is weak sauce

It was a consistently low rated show and was always on the verge of cancellation. I can't imagine any studio wanting to make this movie without kickstarter money.

Hopefully this movie be successful and will lead to a spinoff tv show project.

It had better ratings than Firefly and they got a studio movie.

Except the name, small Texas town, high school football, coach under pressure, kids treated like celebrities, a-hole boosters, supporting wife, career-ending injury to star player, etc.
Nothing in common.

I told y'all this was coming. Studios, financiers, producers, etc in the movie business are going to find a way to make you pay twice in subsidizing their movie by holding fans hostage and not sharing the profits even though technically you've invested in the movie just like they have.
