FAQ

Fanboys is based on a screenplay by writers Ernest Cline, Dan Pulick, and Adam F. Goldberg.

Kyle Newman has been reported as saying that he is planning on making a sequel, and it would involve the group crashing the set of Attack of the Clones (2002). There have also been fan reactions as to having the sequel be the same premise as Fanboys, but involving another group of friends trying to steal a copy of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) (2001).

It could be something as simple as that it's his real name. However, more likely It's a reference to the movie The Thing (1982). There is a character with the same name in that film who constantly wears sunglasses, inside or out, day or night. The character gets the nickname in this film because he wears large thick glasses. (also possibly because he's always on his laptop, his nickname refers to the operating system).

The scene was strictly spoofing The A-Team TV series where the team leader Hannibal would always have a cigar in his mouth. They also drove around in a van not dissimilar to the one the Fanboys drive around in.

This has been the question of many people, who want to see the movie Kyle Newman made without the reshoots from Steven Brill. Kyle Newman has stated that he's planning on releasing a director's cut by the time the sequel comes out.
