If this has been brought up already, please link the discussion thread here before deleting... At the Darkstar website's NEWS section for July, 4, there's a mention of a new MST3k documentary in the works. "Our friends formerly with Best Brains tell us that a new MST3k documentary may be in production as long as legal issues can be dealt with."www.darkstar.gs/main.php?hilo=1Any info?

No info but congrats on a good find. Hopefully "legal issues can be dealt with."

Wouldn't "This is MST3K" be considered a documentary?
or the Scrapbook as well?

Wouldn't "This is MST3K" be considered a documentary? or the Scrapbook as well? yea, basically, but they were made when the show was still going on, so i think a look back would be really interesting. plus, who would complain about new things from our favorite people? I certainly wouldn't this is why darkstar is interesting to me.. its different, but its our Brains

I always wondered if there'd ever be a history documentary show concerning MST3K. Much like how E! has those True Hollywood Story shows.
MST3K had plenty of battles with networks and so forth that would make for an interesting docudrama.
And I'd love to hear what kinds of things Jim Mallon did or didn't do behind the scenes.

You know I was thinking about trying to do this in a few years, but it looks like someone already beat me to it. I'd really like to see it!

Hopefully this doc isn't being made BY Mallon. I'd prefer to hear an unbiased take on everything, the good and the bad.

Personally, I'd like Brian Henry and Chris Cornell (owners of Satellite News) and the guy who runs MST Temple to make the documnetary. They probably know more about the hsitory of MST3K than anyone else (except the Brains of coarse).

I'd rather have someone who knows what they're doing make it (as in, someone who knows how to make a good documentary), then have those two advise them on historical data. It's easy as hell to make an informative documentary that is nonetheless boring as all get-out.

If it IS boring, maybe the bots can riff on their own documentary.

I think "Jandek on Corwood" or "In The Realms of the Unreal" are fine examples of how to make documentaries on next-to-no money on interesting and non-mainstream subjects. The only thing that'd hamper the makers of a documentary on MST3K is getting hold of footage to use legally.

Yeah, but I think it'd be easier to get rights to show excerps or clips from a Godzilla movie than the whole thing.

Xerxes has the right idea. Plus under a certain amount of seconds, you don't have to pay for the clip. Like how all those episodes from Joel still have the original Godzilla dropkick opening intact.

As long as Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Bay aren't involved a MST3K documentary would be great to see
