McCallister's Moving
Moving McCallister, Ben Gourley's first screenplay and Andrew Black's second feature, seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. The film certainly includes a few more-or-less familiar faces, such as Rutger Hauer, Mila Kunis, Peter Jason, and one of our own (who is perhaps only somewhat familiar because he actually appears to look different in certain images). There was some initial buzz, largely generated by some misleading words out of the mouth of Kunis, quoted in this MTV Article dated May 6, 2005: "...Moving McAllister, Kunis said, will debut at next year's Sundance Film Festival..." I'm fairly certain it never played. I wouldn't mind being corrected. Rather, I'm lead to think Kunis was stating something she hoped was true. In any case, the hype seems to have faded.
But speaking of Heder, whose hype only seems to grow, one witness pipes up (registration required): "...[I have seen] about 30 minutes of unedited footage of the [Moving McCallister]...I see all these comments that Jon Heder is a bad actor and can only act like his character in ND but he is totally different and actually funnier in this movie."

Saw some clips at the LDS Film Festival. Some funny stuff--popping the zit on Jon Heder's back? Too gross, but who can resist... Can't wait to see the full feature. And did you leave out Hubbel Palmer? He's a must-see in this film, as he is in Sasquatch and others.
What film was the unedited footage from? IMDB requires registration....
Duly noted. (I corrected it in the post, but...) The movie referred to was Moving McCallister. Here's the full entry by "hiaddam":
"A friend of mine is one of the producers for the movie and he showed me and some friends about 30 minutes of unedited footage of the movie. From what I saw the movie looks really funny. I see all these comments that Jon Heder is a bad actor and can only act like his character in ND but he is totally different and actually funnier in this movie. Anyway I am super excited to see the movie, I just hope they keep the gross out humor like the puking and zip popping jokes for the DVD extras. Hopefully they do a good job putting it all together which I'm sure they will."
