MTV.com has the dramatic trailer for Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! Note that the film has been given a rating of "R" by the MPAA -- "R" for ridiculous title.

A list of the cities in which Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! will be shown on March 23 as a Big Screen Concerts event can be found here. A 20-minute mini-movie, A Day in the Life of Nathanial Hornblower, will precede the film at all screenings on this date.

Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! will be screened on March 23 at as-yet-unspecified cities and theaters as a Big Screen Concerts event. Details to be announced...

Clarification: I received some questions about this event. Big Screen Concerts is associated with many theaters across North America. The Beastie Boys' film will be shown in select movie theaters nationwide on March 23. Until Big Screen Concerts announces the participating theaters, don't make any assumptions that the film will be shown in any certain city. It could be 50 cities or only a few cities.

Sorry, I have no exciting updates on the Beastie Boys for y'all, but I do have two new photos to entertain you. The first photo comes from Matthew S., from Milwaukee, who attended the premiere of Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! at the Sundance Film Festival. He caught Adam Yauch as the band arrived at the theater and requested a photo with him.

Charming expression, no?

The next photo is missing a full explanation. Of who?, what?, where?, when?, and why?, I can only provide limited information.

Who: Yauch, Ian Rogers (avec le mic) with his daughter Zoe, and a technician dude
What: Looks like an interview to me
Where: Yahoo! Cafe at Park City, Utah
When: During the Sundance Film Festival
Why: Unknown

So, keep your ears open for a new audio interview with Monsieur Yauch at Yahoo.com, Beastieboys.com, or possibly Zoe's radio show. I inquired about the interview to the appropriate persons and no one was willing to divulge anything. You'd think that I asked for the secret recipe of Bush's Baked Beans...

On the topic of Mix Master Mike, he provided the musical entertainment at the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards last week in Las Vegas.

The Washington Post reports Mike D is working on a remix of "King Without a Crown" by Matisyahu, the Hasidic reggae artist. Apparently, Matisyahu is a big fan of the Beastie Boys. He was spied in the audience at their recent concert at the Sundance Film Festival.

Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! will be screened at the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri. The film will be shown once on Sunday, February 26, at 1:30 pm at the Blue Note. Individual tickets cost $7. Festival passes are also available.

The description of the film at the festival web site notes that a "possible special guest" may attend. Could it be Hornblower?

The SXSW Film Festival has published its complete screening schedule. Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! will be screened only once on Wednesday, March 15, at 6:45 pm at the Paramount Theatre in Austin.

You may read outtakes from LeRoy's book at Beastiemania.com: "Dressing for Success at the G-Spot" and "The Beasties vs. The Beatles."

Earlier this week, the South by Southwest organization announced that the Beastie Boys will participate in a "very special interview" (READ: surprise concert) on March 15, from 4:30 to 5:30 pm, in the Austin Convention Center as part of the activities associated with the screening of Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! at the SXSW Film Festival.

I'm working on getting more information about this event. I will post an update as soon as I learn the details.
