Because I'd really like to see it. The last bit of gossip I heard was that Alec Baldwin was somehow involved in production, maybe funding...

The only way to really know is to look on your local theater's marquee. If you see a movie by the title of Jennifer Government, then it's out.

Well, I don't even think that they have started filming, so it will be a long time yet.

Future Films (7 titles) Year MOVIE
The Swimmer - Actor 2005 11,963 Announced
Lymelife - Actor 2004 4,352 Pre-production
Simply Halston - Actor 2004 16,410 Announced
The Aviator - Juan Trippe 2004 321 Post-production
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie - Dennis (voice) 2004 1,264 Filming
The Last Shot - Joe Divine 2004 1,994 Completed
Playmakers of New Orleans - Coach Lundell 2003 6,721 Post-production $11M

There is Alec Baldwin's line up, nothing there look or sounds like the book.

A search on Pro IMDB doesn't come up with anything for: Jennifer Governemt, Max Barry, Nation States, or anything else I could think of that might be used as a name. I think the movie is FAR off, as in not even announced, forget casting people, and definately forget even filming.

Stock on the movie is down http://movies.hsx.com/servlet/SecurityDetail?symbol=JEGOV

For the producers, I think the hardest part will be to get the okay from the Nike CEO's ... :lol:

* sigh *

Stupid Hollywood - and product placing - it's going to take a lot of money to get this movie up and running.

I don't mean to be negative, but I very much doubt if a single second will ever be filmed.

Did anyone check "Capitalism" as a name for the movie? Cuz if you check in the book it said that was what he was gonna name it

I don't mean to be negative, but I very much doubt if a single second will ever be filmed.

I agree.

I agree.

Because, they haven't even started anything at all.

Besides, it's been in development for well over a year... with no results to speak of...

"For the producers, I think the hardest part will be to get the okay from the Nike CEO's ... "

Like that has stopped any other movies from being filmed. Just look at that football movie with Cameron Diaz (Sunday something?) It showed the dark side of football and the NFL refused to allow them to use real team names. So they just made some team names up

Besides, it's been in development for well over a year... with no results to speak of...

We should get [violet] to give us some concrete information regarding the film. That way we'll know.

the powah :P

I play another free online game called the hollywood stock exchange. It has this to say about a possible movie:

"Jennifer Government is an adaptation of the satiric novel from Max Barry about American consumerism. In a future where you can claim your employer as your identity, Hack Nike refuses to shoot teenagers as part of an ad campaign and is soon pursued by a crazed agent named Jennifer Government. Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney will produce through Section Eight. "

No, I'd rather have it be good.
I've gotta agree with the Hack on this one. Moore is only good at movies in the same respects that O'Reilly is good at yelling.

I don't think a movie was mentioned in the book. You're probably referring to the dedication. If you go over the book very carefully, you'll notice that the word "capitalism" is spelled with a zee/zed, apparently a joke about the American spellings "realize," "tantalize," "dramatize," "capitalize," etc.

hehe, on the left it says "JEGOV" then in the quantity below it it says "Max"
Coincidence? I think so!

I don't think a movie was mentioned in the book.

That may be true but Max told us that a movie company had come to him about turning the book into a movie.

Hugo Weaving should be John Nike. Throughout the book I envisioned him looking like Agent Smith :)

Now i have 2 possible Maxes... heheh


the powah :P

You got rather close...any luck?
