Thanks everyone for donating so much to our IndieGoGo page to get the AVGN Movie going. Behind the scenes, my team and I have been working very hard to get everything ready for the shoot. The filming could take place any time between January and May 2012. It’s time to make a damn movie.
The projected total budget is uncertain at the time. We are in the process of hiring a line producer to help with that. We are also talking with special effects artists about costs. For now, I think we have more than enough to get started, so thank you again for exceeding our IndieGoGo goal.

Good to hear this james
November 11, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Great news, James!
So happy to hear things are going well, wish I could be in USA to participate as an extra or something, but at least I could help a little bit via PayPal.
I have no idea how much work you boys have ahead, but we all know you will do great!
Hope it can be finished by next year
November 11, 2011 at 1:03 pm
That’s the coolest spit-take I’ve ever seen. Hope you didn’t get the computer all wet.
November 11, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Hell yeah! So glad to see this. Also glad I donated. Keep up all the great work James were all pulling for you.
November 11, 2011 at 2:05 pm
Great to hear! Glad to know that our donations could totally fund the movie, that would be amazing! Best of luck and keep us posted.
November 11, 2011 at 2:11 pm
I’ll have to admit that I’m a bit sad that I’ve donated via PayPal before you’ve had that IndieGoGo thing, but nevertheless I’m totaly happy that we will get our movie.
November 11, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Haha. I loved the American Movie reference!
November 11, 2011 at 2:34 pm
so awsome that you are gonna make a movie i am gonne see it and try to make it so i can post it on facebook =)
November 11, 2011 at 2:57 pm
So if I donate $30, I get an autographed photo? Still?
I may need to do that. Once my basement is finished and I get my Nintendo area set up, that’d be a great thing to have.
November 11, 2011 at 3:03 pm
I’m gonna donate $25 dollars to you, because I am an atheist who believes you are GOD.
November 11, 2011 at 3:17 pm
The quality of that new camera is AWESOME! It’s almost like film!!!!
November 11, 2011 at 3:32 pm
I hope you get some new perks so I can do another donation soon, I want to see that counter keep rising!
November 11, 2011 at 3:33 pm
Awesome video James, we are all rooting for you! It would be an awesome thing if the movie is totally funded by all us fans!
P.s I can’t wait to get my photo!
November 11, 2011 at 3:40 pm
Wow, this is super cool!
So happy to see you so happy and excited James! Remember, your fans’ got your back the whole way!
November 11, 2011 at 4:22 pm
This is awesome! However, whenever I try to go to the donation page, it crashes my browser. =(

I literally don’t have enough money to get gas. I wish I could donate. I just started working again so if I get a little extra I will see what I can do. I can’t wait to see your movie. It’s gonna be so epic.
November 11, 2011 at 6:05 pm
lol this is awesome man. life is kinda cool sometimes.
November 11, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Uuuuaaauuu! This is awesome! Good to know that! You deserve this from us the fans, James!
November 11, 2011 at 6:44 pm
James, great news on the donations! You’re an inspiration to fellow filmmakers!
Thought I’d let you know though that some people haven’t received the special message. I haven’t got it and I read in the comments a bunch of people on indiegogo haven’t got it.
November 11, 2011 at 6:52 pm
dont forget the elements of German Expressionism in your film!!!!
November 11, 2011 at 6:57 pm
This video is almost as good as a nerd video and it will help me get through the cravings until the next one.
Congratulations on getting past your goal and we are glad we can help make your dream come true.
November 11, 2011 at 7:59 pm
goddamn! good for you James. Make your fans proud. I am so happy for you. Do this film for all the aspiring creative minds that follow you but just couldn’t quite get their dreams off the ground ( I being one of them). You deserve it, stuck with it, and worked your ass off for it. Being a film maker I know how much effort goes into producing a piece of work. Its hard man. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I tried to do it but just didn’t have the situation or the resources. Your fans have spoken. put their money where your mouth is. good luck brother……
November 11, 2011 at 8:44 pm
That is amazing James, simply amazing
I didn’t donate but to everyone that did thank you for helping James with this, he has given us alot of free entertainment over the years and you guys really have shown how much he means to us all.
I was going to donate but I bought your dvd instead…hope that still helps tho.
November 11, 2011 at 9:57 pm
You better have Mark and Mike in your film!!!! I don’t care what they charge, what their “rate” is. You better get those guys in your movie!!!
November 11, 2011 at 11:12 pm
We’re beind you 100%, James! Good luck on the movie! We can’t wait!
November 11, 2011 at 11:33 pm
didnt donate much but did what i can sir cant wait
November 11, 2011 at 11:54 pm
Awesome James. Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you hire a good Cinematographer! 90% of production value comes from your cinematography and from art production/set design. So PLEASE make sure you get those things right! Don’t just buy lights and a camera. Hire someone who is experienced and can give you a pro look!
And shoot on the RED!!! You have a high enough budget to afford it! Don’t mess around with DSLR nonsense, please! If you don’t shoot on RED, then you’re wasting your time.
November 12, 2011 at 12:34 am
my holiday wish….review predator on the nes love the movies except the paul anderson bullshit and that shitty requiem movie big predator fan would love to see this sir
November 12, 2011 at 2:36 am
Damn it James you used up all the awesome and didn’t save any for anyone else!!
November 12, 2011 at 3:42 am
Thank you guys (but why did you stop so early? O.o)
I wish you all luck!
November 12, 2011 at 3:47 am
So let’s keep donating!
By the way, sci-fi and adventure is my specialites. I’m a writer
November 12, 2011 at 4:27 am
It’s the least we can do for all the years of funny!
November 12, 2011 at 4:28 am
I gave what money I could spare. So take it and make a damn awesome movie!
November 12, 2011 at 5:59 am
one thing , PLEASE GET THE (SHIT-PICKLE) IN THE MOVIE , PLEASE
November 12, 2011 at 8:40 am
Well there’s no ‘moral support’ button on that page.
Keep on doing what you do, James.
That’s funny, I just borrowed gas money from my ma tonight.
Amount delinquent 81$ resulting in a lean on any property or… good thing it’s only 81$, what are they gonna take my Night of the Living Dead Book?
November 12, 2011 at 8:57 am
I wish I could donate James. I’m 17, but I have no credit card, nor cash right now. But if I did, I would have sent you 100 bucks, hey it’s something. I hope the movie is made, and good luck. I hope it’s not, Ugh well i’ll be 18 by the time is released. Haha, well as a proud subscriber and fan, I say good luck, and you deserve the support man! I give 100 stars out of 5!
I know you’re very stressed with everything right now. Hey, the fans are here!
Keep up the good work!
November 12, 2011 at 9:28 am
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the amount that fans donated, I was simply stunned. We’ll do all we can to support this project, and like someone else wrote in the comments, we’re 100% behind you!
I’m really looking forward to the movie, as well as the autographed photo.
November 12, 2011 at 10:58 am
Well,…SHIT THE FUCK!
November 12, 2011 at 11:21 am
Just donated 50$ to support and as a thank you for all the years of awesome free entertainment! Im sure this movie will kick so much ass!
A screening in sweden would make me shit my pants.
November 12, 2011 at 12:39 pm
Can’t wait for my autographed photo man, very cool method with the reward system!
Check yer email for an extra thank you – my three yr old daughters AVGN impersonation

November 12, 2011 at 12:59 pm
Please have Bad Luck Bootsy and Motherfucker Mike in the movie, that would be kl to see them in it
November 12, 2011 at 1:52 pm
What a fun way to say thank you to the fans
The quality of the video is amazing!
My only sugestion for the movie is…Please don’t hear to any of our suggestions
You know your work, we’re just fans.
Keep up the awesome work, James and all your team!
November 12, 2011 at 4:48 pm
You guys are awesome!
November 12, 2011 at 7:02 pm
Oh f*ck! LOL
Looks like we’ll be getting this awesome AVGN movie after all. Wow…
If I wasn’t in crippling debt, and was able to hold down a job at all, I’d give the biggest donation in there and then travel to you to be part of the movie.
This is probably going to be the most amazing online low-budget movie that I’ll ever see. I can hardly wait!
November 12, 2011 at 8:29 pm
The image quality, the editing, the acting, the montage, every little clip you do seems to get better and better (and you started with a bar quite high!). Thanks James, Cinemassacre rules!
November 12, 2011 at 9:38 pm
Never actually donated on Indiegogo before and I was wondering: if I was going to donate, let’s say $50 this month and then $50 again later, does it stack somehow or should I wait and just donate as much as I can at once?
November 12, 2011 at 11:27 pm
Damn dude, just TODAY the amount went from like 106K to 127K!
I’d love to see James’ face if it reaches like 300K! o;
I really hope it does, and I’ll likely be donating again sometime, now that I’ve got my new MasterCard activated. By the way, did you ever get your MasterCard yet James? O:
November 13, 2011 at 5:27 am
I have a question James. There is many people who donated via paypal before you got IndieGoGo. Are we going to get at least a signed photo? I know some people who donated over 50 dollars via paypal and I think it’s a little unfair that they don’t get anything.
November 13, 2011 at 10:24 am
You created a monster….It is time to put the master piece into place…He’s alive!!!!!!
November 13, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Luka, you mean to say, “By the way, sci-fi and adventure ARE my specialites. “
November 13, 2011 at 4:39 pm
i think video is old. $134,065 now
its nearly double of the goal
November 13, 2011 at 4:53 pm
carnage7 it’s not that old. Look at the amount of days left in the counter. people are really donating because we all trust in James and know that he truly wants to deliver a good product for us. My biggest hope is that this will appear in theaters. I can’t wait!
November 13, 2011 at 5:40 pm
Oh, yeah James. Sorry
Btw, would you like to see te director I’m working with?
I almost forgot: It would be so cool to see a game named Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie: The Game (just as a reference to those abominable Street Fighter titles haha.
I wish you all good luck btw. Oh and one last thing: have you seen Batman Live yet? You should, and review it. It’s quiet bad actually :/
- Lukas
November 13, 2011 at 5:46 pm
With 81 days left and upwards of 34k donated in just a few days from the post of this video i can surely think that its a possibility that the goal could get tripled or even quadrupled by the end. after this people i know i myself wanted to donate even more after seeing what the signed photo looked like and i think maybe other people are thinking the same thing. i hope it turns out the be completely fan funded so James can have 100% control over it as he said in the video. AVGN FTW =3
November 13, 2011 at 6:21 pm
woah
does this mean that the signed photo is on the way already? or do we have to wait to the movie is finnished? can hardly wait ….
November 13, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Once I get some birthday money, I’ll make another contribution. ^^ NO QUESTIONS, JUST TAKE IT!!
Watching this vid makes me happy. Maybe cause James is finally realizing his dream, or knowing I played a small part in making this happen.
Regardless, kudos to you Nerd. ^^ Godspeed!
November 13, 2011 at 10:08 pm
God damn it James, stop spending my money on photos to autograph! Naw, I’m just kidding, I didn’t donate. I will though, you are my hero James!!
November 14, 2011 at 4:15 am
Congratulations James!
I am looking forward to the movie just like everyone else!
Watch for an incoming donation from me as well!
Any more AVGN episodes in the works as well? I did like the memories episode as well! Even another memories or similar episodes would work until the movie is complete.
Thanks for all your hard work, I LOVE AVGN!!!
November 14, 2011 at 10:01 am
My god, James, the donations are sure to reach over $200,000 by the time the donation period expires! I wish I could have donated more than $30, but it was all I could spare at the moment, considering the holiday season coming up.
If I end up with any left over money after Christmas, consider it a higher donation!
Thanks for everything, James!
November 14, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Hey James, I kind of introduced Stan Lee (Marvel Comics Legend) to AVGN and also Yu Kimura (a Japanese -Pop signer to your show! They both signed AVGN Volume 2 DVD . Do you think its cool that I imtroduced your show to other celebrities?
November 14, 2011 at 8:58 pm
Dude, I fix really old laptops from the 1990′s as a hobby. If you ever would like one of my laptops just in case you do a review on DOS games or something, (or even just to use it as a prop for one of your videos or the movie), I’m more than happy to give you one of them.
I have like 7 of them and I can more than afford to give one of them up. xDD
November 15, 2011 at 1:34 am
Congratulations on the indiegogo donations! Was wondering if there was anything coming to those who donated during the paypal campaign?
November 15, 2011 at 3:57 am
love the American Movie reference! great to see that so many people have been donating so much! all the best! oh shit i didn’t mean to erase that man!
November 15, 2011 at 10:47 am
Love these small videoes you make to keep us up to date!
Pretty amazing you already passed 100 grand. But damn! A few days later, and it’s now on 144K ! With 80 days to go…
November 15, 2011 at 2:46 pm
Oh James Rolfe, you crazy bastard…trying to make a movie and such. hahaha. Just kidding man, I’ll definitely be supporting you in every way I can
November 15, 2011 at 4:38 pm
Now the question is, will they break $500,000? I think its definitely possible. He just got $45,000 since posting this video. Now t hat he’s got new perks coming, it’ll bring in people who aren’t interested in the original ones, and give people who donated reason to donate more. I know I’ll donate again.
November 15, 2011 at 6:38 pm
@ EliteDeath – where does it say he`s got new perks coming? would be good to see
November 15, 2011 at 7:24 pm
Wow, it’s amazing that you’ve gotten such a big amount of money in so little time, James. I’m truly amazed.
Fully deserved though – you’ve given hundreds of thousands of people all over the world a lot of joy over the last few years through your videos, me included.
Keep up the good work & I hope you soon get to make the movie you’ve always dreamt of making! Cheers.
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
I’m holding my breath that Fred Fuchs is in this.
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Damn, $100,000. Good work man, you obviously have a very strong fanbase. Good luck with your movie, really looking forward to it.
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
hope to see Nathan Barrnet in it…
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Gods bless you : >
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am

November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Did you really raise over $100,000?! That’s great if so. You should be able to get the movie going easily now! : )
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
conglaturation
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am

November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am

November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
You’re the angriest gamer I’ve ever heard
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
I just wanted to write something! Wasn’t so clever now that I think about it.
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
GODDAMN!!!!!!!!!! i think i shat my pants when i saw that! congrats James, you deserve every dollar, and even more!
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Good luck, James. You always have our support.
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Suckerin suckatash .Is any of it food stamps?

AWWWW YEAHHHH!
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Wooah! Congrats James, well deserved!
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
100% agree with Michael, I will be so upset if Fred Fuchs isn’t in this movie…
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Congrats on getting a lot of donations, you’ve prooved the justice of our culture – now go rest our heroes.
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am

November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Also are you married? There’s a Mrs Angry Nerd?

November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Dude, Me and my friend are like the worlds biggest fans of you! I was wondering may I have 2 autographs? Please!
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Let that guy complain himself to death Durin. No doubt all those people know how to do is try to justify themselves for hating all the success James has done and the more he is capable of. Oh well, can’t all be hero’s.
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
i kno i didnt donate any money but i kno this will be a great movie

November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Congradulations! This is going to be one of the best events in internet history. AVGN is the funniest show on the internet and it deserves this more than anything.
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
Awesome!
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
If I had 20,000 to spare, I’d totally forfeit it for an executive producer credit in a movie!
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am
i donated to the movie i think it was like 10 dollars or more but it goes though from everybody else donating:)
November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am

November 16, 2011 at 1:29 am

November 16, 2011 at 1:30 am
Fuck you, nerd. You do this
November 16, 2011 at 1:30 am
if the movie is a 100% raised by fans would that guarantee it to be free and without advertisements?
November 16, 2011 at 1:30 am
Wow, it’s amazing that you’ve gotten such a big amount of money in so little time, James. I’m truly amazed.
Fully deserved though – you’ve given hundreds of thousands of people all over the world a lot of joy over the last few years through your videos, me included.
Keep up the good work & I hope you soon get to make the movie you’ve always dreamt of making! Cheers.
