I think if they show it to us at all, it should be at the regionals, and not the whole movie either. Maybe have a different clip that they show each weekend of regionals. But i think they should show the movie on tv, say, the weekend before the national comp. so that curious people who log onto usfirst.org can watch the actual thing.

As Andy said, the producers are doing their best to make sure the movie is accurrate, and they're talking to the right people. They have talked with Dean & Woodie, and they have met with members of FIRST teams to go over the story to make sure they get it right.

This sounds like a great idea! It is certainly something I have heard people asking Disney to do for several years now.
No matter how it is done, someone in this group is not going to like it. This film doesn't have to be supremely accurate to get the message out to an uninformed public. It is the kind of vehicle to blow the lid off this competition. Even if done poorly in our eyes, non-FIRST students and teachers will be "wow"ed at the concept. Case in point was the movie "Space Camp", where there was this mythical place where students could go and play astronaut. The key charachters were eventually launched into space on a shuttle. Space Camp is now a real place, in Huntsville, AL, with students and teachers from all over the country in attendance each year.
I for one would love to volunteer my services to Disney in any capacity, to help this project along. How about it guys? Need a volunteer TV Engineer with 6 years of FIRST experience?

Bryan Mancuso is an unknown quantity at this point
Unless I am sadly mistaken, which is all too often the case, would they be creating a team to compete in an/the event and take live footage of us...the *real teams*...to use in the movie?

Just some food for thought.

Bryan, I actually pondered that myself. Usually when a movie is made about a real life event or sport, they use stock footage to include in the movie!! So next year (?), get yourself on as many professional cameras as possible and maybe you'll be in the movie!!!!
