1/25/2002 - The O-Man Hits The Big Screen!

Steve Oedekerk's "KUNG POW!"

I know I haven't updated this page in a long time, and that's mainly because I've been extremely busy working on the rest of my site that has grown leaps and bounds in the past year! But I just got back from the the local movie theater and I saw one of the funniest movies that I've seen in a long time. That movie is Steve Oedekerk's "KUNG POW!". Finally Steve is starring in a movie of his own on the big screen. It's good to see him as the lead character again.

For those of you who were worried that the movie wasn't going to be funny, lemme tell you, it's friggin' hysterical! The commercials DO NOT do this movie justice. It's like they picked the least funny things from the movie and put them all in the trailers and commercials. Trust me though, your stomach will be in PAIN after laughing so hard throughout the movie. Steve's bizarre style of humor works great in this martial arts spoof. The old 70's martial arts film footage is seamlessly blended in with the new footage. And get ready for some of the strangest vocal sound effects you'll ever hear!

Be sure to check out the Official Kung Pow Movie Site to learn more about the film!

11/26/2000 - Thumbs Update

Good news for all fans of the "Thumb" series! There's going to be about 6 different Thumb videos released between now and the end of 2001, so keep an eye out for those! Thumb Wars, Thumbtanic, Thumbwrestling and more!

5/30/2000 - More Updates from "The O-Fan"

Principal shooting is finished for The Dubbed Action movie. Now the long task of putting the film together begins. A hilarious scene involving a CGI bull and Steve matching up in an "epic" martial arts battle will be included (I saw an unfinished version of the scene and never laughed so hard in my life). The release date for The Dubbed Action movie has been moved to February. This way the movie will pretty much have the whole month to itself (all the blockbusters are released during summer and at the end of year holiday times). If all goes well, there will likely be a Dubbed Action 2, and there is even talks of Dubbed Action 3 (Steve has said the story is written as a trilogy).

The secret animation project is all but a go. Until signatures are gotten, this one will remain under wraps. The project will take about 18 months to 2 years to complete. The movie is going to be an animated spoof of the Disney genre movies.

Even with the demise of www.den.net, Thumbwrestling will still be developed as a viable project. The time that would have been spent on the four various projects will now be spent developing Thumbwrestling. One avenue being looked at is a toy line of the Thumbwrestling characters.

Thumbmatrix is looking more and more likely to be released in the summer of 2001.

4/27/2000 - "Wild Willy Parsons" tells his tales!

Quick update here. Wild Willy Parsons just sent in a cool little story about the filming of that impossible-to-find Oedekerk movie, "Smart Alex". Check it out here!

4/26/2000 - THE NEW STEVE OEDEKERK WORSHIP PAGE IS HERE!

I am pleased to announce that the new Steve Oedekerk Worship Page is now online and fully functional! The menu system has been improved (goofy voices included for those of you who have sound), all of the pages have been completely updated, and best of all: HIGH STRUNG now has its very own section. A huge section completely dedicated to what I consider to be the funniest movie of all time! Many thanks to everyone (especially the director, Roger Nygard) who have sent me all sorts of HIGH STRUNG. tidbits! Now you will find TONS of new photos and information on HIGH STRUNG. Besides the largest information resource about the movie HIGH STRUNG on the web, we're now getting updates on a regular basis from "O-Fan" about what Steve Oedekerk and O Entertainment are up to! So check back often for all the O INFORMATION!

I hope all of you enjoy the new web site, please sign the guestbook and/or email me and let me know what you think of it!

4/19/2000 - Updates from a generous "0-Fan"

An Oedekerk fan who wishes to remain anonymous has generously offered to keep us informed of practically everything going on with Steve Oedekerk. You can expect to receive weekly updates here from now on! Lots 'n lots of O Info! Here's what's going on with Steve Oedekerk and O Entertainment right now:

1. Shooting for "The Dubbed Action Movie: Enter the Fist" has been moved to Mexico. The various unions in Hollywood were tipped to the fact that Steve, in order to save money, was working with nonunion workers. The unions came in and did their thing (basically threaten all workers with never working again), and the shoot was halted for about a week and a half. They are currently shooting in the same place that Titanic was shot. update: Dubbed will be ready for delivery by July 31 for a fall release date.

2. You probably know this one, but the movie "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" has been green lit. The first glimpse of JN will be seen later this year in the form of shorts and interstitials. Basically little minute long stories put in between Nickelodeon's regular shows. The movie will come out in 2001.
The TV series will come out in 2001 as well. Merchandising will be involved, and with the clout of Nickelodeon and Paramount behind it expect this sucker to be big.

Below is a partial list of the names of some of the interstitial spots that will be seen on Nickelodeon later this year:

Cookie Time
Carl Squared
New Dog, Old Tricks
Invisible Boy
Remote Possibilities
Who's There?


3. "Thumb Double Feature" will be appearing in theaters later this year. It is basically "Thumb Wars" and "Thumbtanic" presented as a double feature. Steve still has to shoot the new footage for the movie ("The Thumbersons," a mock "dancing food" intermission, etc.) and transfer the video to film.
Steve was at the American Film Market (AFM), trying to set up international distribution deals. He has a few handshake deals that have to be finalized.

4. "The O Show" (formerly called "steve.oedekerk.com") and "Santa vs. The Snowman" are both on sale in video format at www.ochannel.com.

5. "Thumb Wars" is on sale at www.thumb.com. Also, "Thumb Wars" mugs are available for purchase. There is a link to buy the mugs on the www.thumb.com site.

6. A deal was just signed between Steve and The Digital Entertainment Network (DEN). The deal is a three year deal in which Steve will provide DEN with four shows. The shows currently slated for the DEN lineup are "Thumbwrestling," "The O Show," and "Dirk Derby Wonder Jockey." The fourth
show is yet to be decided. Each show will have 26 episodes per year (an episode every two weeks). Each episode will be 4 to 8 minutes long. People will be able to view the shows at www.den.net. You can go there now and there's a link to a little press release DEN has about the deal. This further extends Steve into providing first class Internet entertainment, which (I'm sure you know) he believes in strongly.

7. Steve is in serious negotiations with Fox about what is being called a "secret animated feature." I know the name of the project, but until it's safe to say what it is I'd rather not. What's interesting about this deal is that Fox's Phoenix unit (it's animation arm), has basically folded. Steve is trying to take this opportunity to create his own animation studio and make the entire film himself (not personally, of course, just within his own organization). Again, I know what the name of Steve's animation outfit would
be, but until some things get worked out I'm gonna sit on that information.

8. I mentioned the AFM earlier. Along with "Thumb Double Feature," Steve also had two other projects available for international distribution; "The Barnyard," an all CGI series following the strange lives of barnyard animals. One page web site at www.funinthebarnyard.com. He also had "Billy the Destroyer," a movie featuring a nine-year old boy with a gigantic "pet" robot with which he proceeds to save the world. He's got a one page site up at www.billythedestroyer.com. What is important to remember about these
projects is the fact that Steve is looking to produce the projects himself using no studio money. If he can achieve that goal, he will in essence start to become his own studio, making projects himself.

9. "Dubbed Action" does have a one page website at www.dubbedaction.com.
     (webmaster's note: I'm HIGHLY anticipating this movie!)

10. As your web site indicates, Steve is trying to get the rights to "High Strung" back. Not sure what his plans are for that. 

11. Steve does have an agreement with Active Worlds in which people can download the Active Worlds browser and chat with other fans in a virtual world. People can choose avatars that other people will see them as. Steve wants to do something with this technology, but making his projects come to life is his first priority. You can download the software at www.activeworlds.com.

12. Steve is seriously trying to get "Thumatrix" pushed through at Fox. His feeling is that people will want another taste of "The Matrix" without having to wait another two years for the sequel to come out. Should be an interesting movie. 

13. A very important step towards his own animation company has started. (4/25)

Thanks to "O-Fan" for all of these great insider updates! Expect more updates like these to come here on a weekly basis!

OLDER UPDATES: 3/14/2000:

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. www.I-Mockery.com has gotten really busy as of lately and I'm trying to maintain a gazillion sites. Well not that many, but I'm gettin there (not to mention I work a 40-hour-a-week job aside from all this stuff).

Anyway, I don't have much news except that Thumb Wars and Thumbtanic are going to be going to the big screen! So be sure to support the mighty Thumbs as soon as it comes to a theatre near you! Also, you might have seen the Earthlink commercial with Thumbtanic featured on it. That got www.thumbtv.com about 15 million hits in 15 days! Whew, not too shabby!

There's also some funny new stuff on www.oedekerk.com so if you haven't seen it lately, check it out. I particularly like the fortune cookie!

Oedekerk is still apparently working on his martial arts film. (hopefully he's not still knocking himself unconscious with his "chuckas" like he did before! hehaha!) Welp that's about it for now. My friend is still working on typing up the script so hopefully he will be done with it in the not too distant future. But he works a job just like me, so we'll get it to you as soon as possible people. Thanks for your continued interest and support.
