Just because as proud John is of his work, sometimes he just doesn’t say anything about it because of the same pride.
Well as John has let me write on this site since it began, sometimes I get the privilege of showing off the efforts of one of my oldest friends. (Old as in longest running… he’s not that old!)
For those of you who don’t already know, John Campea, founder and editor of this very site has tried his hand at a documentary (Prince of Peace: God of War) and now he is taking a big step and directing his first Independent feature film.
The Anniversary has become a “real movie” and actually exists on the hallowed hall of records we call the Internet Movie Data Base.
John (and a lot of other familiar names) has been working hard on his film and that is why we haven’t seen a lot of him online here, but we know it will be worth the wait.
I imagine we will get the exclusive first look at the Trailer as well as the scoop on the release date or posters!
We are proud of you John! Can’t wait to see it!
Wicked John! Congrats. Can’t wait to see the film.
I think what you’re doing and chances you’re taking are awesome. I can’t wait to see the finished film.
No mater how it turns out, good or bad (can’t be as bad as “Battlefield Earth”). It’s quite something just to get a film made. I’ve had friends put together a film and it’s no easy feat. So congratulations and I wish you luck.
John, how about some details? What about distribution, P&A commitments, festival entries?

Am looking forward to the release John. Not to sound sycophantic but you are an inspiration to us all.
“If you try you can only succeed. It is only when you don’t bother..that is when failure truly applies”
Good luck John. Hope it turns out well.
When does it come out?
if you don’t overdo it, it will be at least an enjoyable movie. my only worry is that you will get hurt by your own enthusiasm
You guys slammin’ on John are dicks. Sheesh.
i agree…trolls IMO
Congratualtions on an Epic Win, John. And congrats tot he cast & crew as well.
Way to go John. No matter what happens not many of us can say that we had the courage to follow our dreams. I wish you all the best.
Dude,
That was well said. I couldn’t have said it any better than that.
John, way to go man. No matter what happens, you worked your tail off to make your first full length film. I think this is great and wish you all the luck and success imaginable.
This film will be worst than “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.”
Hey Brand (AKA “Alex” Yes, I know you’re both the same guy… ahhh the wonders of technology)
Yes, no doubt this might be worse than Street Fighter. Hell… it may end up being worse than Battlefield Earth. Fuck… it might even end up shittier than Highlander 2.
But I won’t take criticism from a gutless tool who posts as different people to make it look like others agree with him. Seriously… get a life.
HAHAH BRAD the douchebag…..why hate in the mans art dickhead…john i dont always agree with u…maybe half the time .. but thats what makes us humans…we have are own opinions….but this guy brad or alex is a tool…IMO even if the movie does suck (i doubt it) it could never be any of the movies u listed just cause first of all, all those movies have lame fighting or special effects….where as if yours did suck ( i doubt it) it would be on its own terms…which imo is allready better then the 3 craptastic films u names…..cause they all copied something.
can wait to see your flick man!
dont mean to start something, but john you just pwned him
This movie will not be worse than Street Fighter.
ohhhh Snap!
….
once i used someone elses name to make it seem like she was agreeing with me.
i used gwyneth paltrows name to curse out someone that said she wasnt god…. but thats it…
GP= GOD.
This movie will indeed be better then Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, but it won’t be as good as Mortal Kombat.
Begins to dance to “Techno-Syndrome 7” Mix.
From what I saw of his documentary I can be sure that this film will suck as well. I’m sorry, but you don’t have talent as a filmmaker. stick to the blog.
I might actually let you try to insult John since after the next post its pretty clear that all you did was insult yourself.
congrats John!
this film gona rock
Congratulations John! It takes some real effort and hard work to make a project like this! My hats off to you!
I just want to make sure diehard TMB Uncut Live!-ers don’t get their hopes up. After all, I was the script supervisor & Chuck Norris is editing it ;) And nothing EVER went wrong during the live shows.
Oh man, we’re fucked.
The movie will lag and suffer sound dropouts and then freeze at the midway point, there will be much weeping and cursing to follow.
It’s funny cuz it’s true!
Hahahahahahahaha, oh I’d given anything for those days again good sirs.
hooray!
keep it up bro!
My hats off to you John! Congrats
I remember when John was only just thiiiis tall.
.
Kidding aside. John, you are good people. I have
come to this site for about 4 years now. I like your attitude towards films. I hope one day, years from now when you are accepting your 1st Emmy or Oscars that you say “Hi” to all the Movie Blog peeps.
.
Congrats and Good Luck on your future projects.

Mazel Tov John
wow – that seemed pretty quick!
Lucky John is. Envy him I do.
Wow, about time, congrats
Congrads John.
No “Director” and “Writer” info?
It takes awhile for the IMDB to roll out full info on a movie, especially when a credit is going to someone with no previous credits on the site. Within a couple of weeks I’m sure the illustrious Mr. Campea will be given full credit for his work.
So when is this gonna be released ?
Way to go, Gio! Keep at it, and hopefully a big name picks it up and you get masterly famous! Then you can pay Rodney to say nice things about you! ;)
woah!
congratulations john!
cant wait to see the trailer/posters!
way to go, big guy!
congrats john
