IESB.net’s Robert Sanchez has long been threatening to make a movie about the world of online journalists, and now he’s making good on it with Journies, a film that will star model/actress/all-around-cool-geek-girl Jaime King. The film’s a romcom about an aspiring web journo (seriously, all it takes these days is a URL and an ill-informed opinion) whose interview with a rising young star turns into a date. The movie is being written and directed by Grant Boucher, who comes from an FX and video game writing background.
Producer Sanchez describes the movie as Notting Hill meets Entourage (which is exactly how he described another of his projects, War Monkeys. Weird), and he’s aiming the film at the ‘younger Comic Con crowd.’ Fanboys director (and Mr. Jaime King) Kyle Newman is also on board to produce.
You can guarantee that this sucker will be filled with cameos. I just hope that if I get into the movie I have a chance to say ‘Paging Mr. Faraci. Mr. Faraci, you have a call at the front desk.’

"an aspiring web journo (seriously, all it takes these days is a URL and an ill-informed opinion)"
Prepare to re-read this quote in the comments beneath every thing you write from this point on.
One can only hope Mr. Galifianakis can clear his schedule to play Devin.
When you say 'iIl-informed opinion', do you mean like your Spidey 4 article when you not only got 3D costs completely wrong, you got them exactly backwards? ie As far from right as is actually possible? Ah. I see.
An entirely uninteresting article that leads up to a Pee Wee's Big Adventure joke makes you a worthwile journalist in my opionion. Not kidding.
I was also pleased with the pee wee reference
Funny to hear the hirsute one busting on ill-informed opinions. Fantastic Four, anyone?
My choice to play Devin? Dave Coulier.
Much like "jumbo shrimp," "worthwhile online journalist" is, in most cases, an oxymoron. Devin, Nice and the CHUD gang could probably find a gig outside of the WWW reporting on all things movies/TV/etc. (yeah, I know – if this was 30 years ago). However, much of what goes on outside of CHUD (AICN and Harry are a prime example. Love his passion, HATE his unprofessionalism, grammar and tendency to give a free pass to filmmakers he's befriended) is laughable. Yeah, with CHUD you get the sarcasm, but you get well-written stories and opinion articles based on a strong foundation – PLUS the passion.
"Paging Mr. Faraci. Mr. Faraci, you have a call at the front desk."
Love the Harrison reference Mr Faraci.
Can someone explain to me what the fuck magic kenny is talking about? Jesus its like reading a nerds fever dreams!
TELEPHONE call at the front desk. sorry.
I think in order for your ghost hunting to be more effective you really need to spread the recorders out to say, more than one table in one room? Your investigation might also be a little more effective if you had less digital recorders and at least one camera that captures photos in a higher resolution than 3 megapixels, preferably with the ability to record video as well. Finally, I know people theorize that paranormal activity is usually focused around limestone deposits or large sources of water, but in reality bottled water does not really qualify as a large body of water. Happy hunting!
My choice to play Devin?
Harry Knowles
Well, they did. But come on, it tied into the story any everything, it wasn't like a random fatty joke!
The premise of this movie was the shittiest thing I'd ever read…until I read the comments section.
I said "worthwhile online journalist" is an oxymoron. Oh – and that Chudfan is an amazing craptwat.
So much for this, eh?
