Morgan Spurlock’s SDCC Comic-Con Episode IV Finally Hits the Screen

Despite the fact that I’ve waited over 25 years for the upcoming
Avengers film, I don’t think there will be a film that I enjoy more in
2012 than Morgan Spurlock’s San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) documentary,
Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope. I had the pleasure of seeing this
film a few weeks ago and I absolutely loved it. Although I feel that
the film would translate well to a weekly reality show (imagine
following a different geek’s journey to SDCC each week), I’ll take
what I can get for now and that means many trips to the theater to see
it while it is in limited release. If you love the world of
conventions even half as much as I do, you must get out there and
support this film this weekend. Here is the latest update on its
release:

“WREKIN HILL AND NECA TO PREMIERE DIRECTOR MORGAN SPURLOCK’S COMIC-CON
EPISODE IV: A FAN’S HOPE THEATRICALLY

IN SIX MAJOR MARKETS AND ON VIDEO ON DEMAND

Documentary Will Also Use Web Platform Tugg for Release

Los Angeles, CA (April 4, 2012) — Chris Ball, President and CEO of
LA-based film production and distribution company Wrekin Hill
Entertainment, and Joel Weinshanker, President and CEO of the National
Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA), a movie merchandising
powerhouse that has become an essential tastemaker for the
all-important Fanboy culture, announced today that COMIC-CON EPISODE
IV: A FAN’S HOPE will begin traditional theatrical runs in Los Angeles
on April 5th, in San Francisco and Portland on April 6th, and in New
York, Boston and Washington, DC on April 13th. The film will also
become available to more than 100 million viewers on Video On Demand
on April 6th.

Wrekin Hill and NECA will also be using Tugg, Inc. (“Tugg”) for the
upcoming release of Spurlock’s film. Starting today, audiences from
around the country can use Tugg to bring COMIC-CON EPISODE IV: A FAN’S
HOPE to their local theater.

The distributors will be hosting a series of one-night only special
screenings with Morgan Spurlock in seven cities. These special events
have been set with a threshold for attendance in anticipation of a
post-screening Q&A session with the director.

Notes Ball: “We wanted to make these first events extra special for
the most passionate Comic-Con fans, and give them the opportunity to
speak with Morgan about the making of this film. Comic-Con Episode IV
is the kind of movie that can’t just be watched, but needs to really
be experienced.”
