Doing a search of the web for something else Red Green related, I found this [press release](http://www.redgreen.com/redgreen/Movie%20Press%20Release.htm)! Of course, true to the Red Green motif, the plot involves Duct Tape. Here’s an excerpt from the press release: > [@](#): > > When Possum Lodge is taken to court by big-shot executive Robert Stiles (Richard Fitzpatrick), whose limousine was damaged while parking at the Lodge, the boys are ordered to pay $10,000 in damages within ten days - or their beloved Lodge will become property of the town. > > Likely to give up their first born before they give up their lodge, the crowd puts their heads together and come up with not one, but three methods of raising the money. It is quickly agreed however, that selling chocolates door to door, or fire powered potato guns to children, may be too complicated. Ultimately, it is Harold who timidly suggests participating in the upcoming Duct Tape Festival in Minneapolis-St. Paul. There, a competition to create ‘something’ made of at least 50% duct tape, will garner the third prize winner exactly $10,000. Naturally, our boys band together and go for the bronze! Anyone else looking forward to this? ---

Woo hoo, yeah! Although it’s a big stretch as to whether they can take characters that are more adapted to the short “skit” type humor they do on the show and make them work for two hours. ---

Hey, no problem! What do we have holding the plot together? Duct tape! And with Harold back to keep those guys organized, it’s sure to run smoothly! ---

I am mildly worried. Still, I’m pulling for em. We’re all in this together, and I hope they can keep their sticks on the ice. ---

I too worry that “Red Green” might not translate well to the big screen. Still, if it’s any good at all it will be great! 🙂 ---

I think that Red Green must be a boy thing. I grew up with Steve Smith in various _bad_ sit-coms and Red Green seems to be the only one that has worked for him. Good for him! But I’m still not gonna watch it. He came up to Yellowknife one time, and there was a contest to see who could be the most creative person with duct tape. I have a picture of my friend Terri in a duct tape bra. ---

Nah, it’s not just a boy thing, GotN. I love Red Green. Of course, I’m here in Iowa where they build temples to him… ---

I’m not sure what worries me more, the idea of a **Red Green** movie, or the fact that all of you Americans seem to know it well. It never, never, never occured to me that Smith had made it internationally. Wow! I guess the CWD people are doing their job better than I thought. ---

I’d sure like to see it! Hope it turns out better than the movie version of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (the latter was basically an average-at-best post-Joel episode put on the big screen). Patty ---

I had forgotten all about this. Anyone else curious what **clayton** is answering “yes” to when he bumped this? Anyway, as long as it’s back, I checked the website again and all I can find is that filming was [completed](http://www.redgreen.com/news/news.html) in June. I haven’t seen anything about potential release dates yet. ---
