Made for T.V movie
Has anyone else heared that Disney is going to make a movie fro their "Wonderful world of Disney" about a F.I.R.S.T team in inner-city school in California?
i think i read about it somewhere......... |
Dean announced this at kickoff, and I know there is at least one person who reads these boards who could give us an update, but will he?

I read that too, and it was taking place in inner city Cali, and was going to star Noah Wyle from ER as a teacher!!
I have an open suggestion to Disney and FIRST for the movie though, not concerning story line or actors but, screening. I think that if Disney is going to make a movie about our competition then we should get a chance o see it and critique it before it gets released to the public. I have seen a lot of newscasts and/or newspaper articles from various sources that have totally messed up the whole game or idea's behind FIRST. Things like comparing FIRST to battlebots and totally describing the game wrong. My suggestion to Disney would be to hold the final production till after the Championship Event in whatever year they are releasing it so we can watch the final cut they have there. Then ask us what needs to change to properly and accurately convey the message of FIRSt to the rest of the world!!!!!! I would happily give up a few hours of my time in Florida to watch the movie and discuss and/or comment on the film!!! I will be repeating this message in a new post so comment there if you would like! |
I have a bad feeling that "cute" guys and dramatic sceans along with cheesey plot twists and steriotipical Dinsey villians will take over and the FIRST message will be spoiled for "good" TV. Plus, how are they going to show them going to the Nat's or a Regional? Hmmm?
|
If they premire it at Nats., I'm renting a limo, a gaggle of photographers, and getting all dolled up. I've always wanted to be a movie star .... or at least go to a gala premire. Anyone w/ me?

It Stars ER's Noah Wiley
I think they should've tackled battlebots. Will Wiley's team win the National championship or the Chairman's award or both? How the featured team does says alot about how much Disney understands FIRTST and I doubt they understand what FIRST is about. :(

I think Disney will use the program to tell of "problems" like all the other shows. Not only will they win every award (cus their *so* good) they will also get all the hot girls at school, get multi-million dollar sponsors, save the world, end hungar, catch Osam Bin Laden, topple Sadam Husain, and discover the true meaning of friends (aaawwwww).
I think I'm goin to puke..... |

i, too, must agree with all of you in your hopes that Disney does not go overboard with the winning. it could turn into mighty ducks, mighty ducks II and mighty ducks III all over. and who knows where that's gonna stop. my team went to one regional this year where we were beaten in the first round of finals. at nationals we were tenth in our division after low scoring wins on saturday, however, according to our leaders (this is my first year) we did better this year than we did last. we didn't do great, but everyone who put their heart and soul into our robot felt good about the outcome.
A MESSAGE TO DISNEY: if you want to get to know first, talk to the average teams. the ones who are out everyday fighting for sponsorships, the ones who place tenth. my name is collin fultz, if you e-mail me i'll be glad to let you know what first is for me. thanks. anyways, i <3 robots ps that's my girlfriends |
What if it truns out like Backdraft... you know were they ave the firemen doing stuff they normal wouldn't do!! Will they do that to the robot team???? i can see it now the robot team over comes all the odd that are aganist them, and win everything and over come te "bad" robot team

LET THEM "DABB-IT-UP"

P.S- DISNEY...Don't 4get the hot girls 2!!!!! |
I would also not like to see FIRST turned into a robotic Mighty Ducks. However, Disney has to go to someone to get some information. I'm pretty sure Dean and Woodie will push against a cheesy, miracle team movie. Also, looking at the post in the general forum, It looks like the 'miracle' is going to be the fact the team exists and gets the gang members back on the road to college. I would hope at least Dean and Woodie would get a say in what the movie shows about the organization.

The Way Disney Should Handle It
Is to follow a random FIRST team or two and do a REAL WORLD like show documenting what they have to go through to get to the competition. The best way to understand FIRST is through people who really do understand FIRST!

i feel ya there. Maybe a made for TV movie with cute guys, hot chicks and a miracle team would enitce some schools out there to consider a team. once they are in, they will understand what FIRST is all about. i know i do.

ONCE AGAIN THE CUTE GUYS AND GIRLS!
yeah i guess it would be interesting to see some hot MTV chick in a thong, bent over a robot trying to figure out how to use an allen wrench, an at the same time complaining about how "kent is soooo impulsive with the hammer drill, i like can't, like stand him? like!?":D
