The Waterman Movie is an unfinished independent Flash animated comedy film based on the web series Waterman and was in a state of financial difficulty.[1] The film was announced on March 16, 2007 via a blog which was posted on Waterman Studios' official site, stating that a film of the popular series Waterman would be made. The film will feature the voice of comedic actor Leslie Nielsen. Nielsen died on November 28, 2010,[2] but had already completed recording for his part in the film.[3] The release date was set for winter 2007, then changed to 2008. On January 14, 2008, Bryan Waterman stated that the film was only 40% done. He also stated that the film is "still moving ahead as scheduled." With over a year since any news on the project, a message was posted by him on February 3, 2009 stating, "That 2008 was a busy year for Waterman Studios" and that production of the film had come to a halt. In June 2011 during a live video on Vokle, he mentioned that he was aiming for a release of Christmas 2012, but that did not happen.
Plot[edit]
When famed comedy rock duo 16 Buttons of Justice is informed of the tremendous failure that is the 16 Buttons of Justice TV Show, the duo must come up with a plan to send ratings through the roof, before the show is canceled. Soon after hearing that Ready Espanosa, father to 16 Buttons of Justice front man Raccoon X, and a world-famous explorer have gone missing, the duo decides to document their own rescue attempt to save the greatest adventurer of all time.
Crowd funding[edit]
In 2010, Bryan Waterman attempted to raise money for the film via Kickstarter with a goal of $35,000. Only $13,384 was pledged by the August deadline,[4] so as per Kickstarter's rules, no money was raised.
