Damn, am I the only one that's excited about the possibilities? All of the shots that McGruder will take at self-loathing Negroes? That shit could be EPIC.

They straight jacked the Uncle Ruckus character in Django.
all the money he made on boondocks he ain't got 200k to invest in one of his ideas?????
to me a whole movie about ruckus would not be funny.
to me a whole movie about ruckus would not be funny.
dudes here ain't artist. They don't dont understand satire. They don't see Uncle Ruckus within themselves because they are perfect and love black people 100%
thats not how hollywood works. U find investors... or would you rather he sold the Boondocks to Cartoon Network after taking a lost on a film by using his own money... ala George Lucas?
so will there be appearances by the other Boondocks characters..?
WHO IS UNCLE RUCKUS?!
Those of you familiar with THE BOONDOCKS already know who Uncle Ruckus is. He's the hard-working, slur-spitting handyman you love to hate. If you're not familiar with Uncle Ruckus, it's difficult to even describe him without violating Kickstarter's hate speech policy.
If you do know who Uncle Ruckus is, you either really love him or really hate him. But if you’ve made it this far, you probably love him like we do. This is your movie.
To that end, we are raising funds for an R-rated theatrical comedy featuring Uncle Ruckus, to be produced this year. The movie will be written and directed by AARON MCGRUDER, and stars GARY ANTHONY WILLIAMS - who does the voice of Uncle Ruckus on the animated series. The story, which is currently being written, will not involve any of the other regular BOONDOCKS characters, but rather explore a part of the Ruckus family not seen in the show.
WHY LIVE ACTION?!
From our PRODUCTION BLOG (Coming soon):
“There’s always been interest in a live-action Boondocks movie, which to me was out of the question considering Huey and Riley are essentially impossible to cast. The animated feature would cost around 20 million, but a live action Uncle Ruckus movie could cost a fraction of that. So just for the hell of it we had the costume made and it was pretty amazing. To see Gary actually transform into Uncle Ruckus... it’s quite the surreal experience. I never expected the transition to be so completely seamless.”
-Aaron McGruder
WHY KICKSTARTER?
First, because SONY (who produces THE BOONDOCKS animated series) is not involved with this project in any way. In fact, there are no investors, corporate or otherwise, involved with the movie as of this moment. This whole thing is kind of an odd idea, so we're starting with Kickstarter on this one and we'll just see what happens.
Crowd funding, however, is a big deal. It represents an entirely new relationship between fan and creator. It also represents a new financial model for making stuff, and that’s exciting.
Uncle Ruckus has a lot of supporters out there. If they want this to happen, they can make it happen.
LIKE A BIG ASS BAKE SALE!!
Like any fundraiser, Kickstarter works by selling fans something they would actually want, and using that money to fund projects. If you're not into giving away money, you can think of it more like a purchase. With Kickstarter, if we don't reach our money goal in time, you don't get charged and basically nothing happens. If we do reach our financial goals, you get the stuff you paid for.
If this is your first exposure to Kickstarter, I know, it sounds crazy. But people keep telling me it works so I'm going with it.
PRE ORDER THE DVD, KINDA!
Kickstarter allows donations from one dollar to ten thousand dollars. For most people, the best bet is our CLINT EASTWOOD rank (our reward levels are named after great white Americans). You'll receive a DVD of the movie when released on home video. There are music downloads, T-shirts, all types of Ruckus related goodies for those of you unafraid to publically express your support for such an awful human being.
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
The money we are raising represents partial funding for the film, so the first challenge is to raise the rest of the money. Obviously, if we exceed our fundraising goals, this may not be an issue, but this is the first hurdle we have to clear if this campaign is successful.
After that, the project faces all of the normal challenges that go along with production - which are too numerous and unpredictable to delineate here. Movie-making is a messy, chaotic business. Delays caused by issues with collaborators, unforeseen additional filming, technical issues, actors getting arrested for something ridiculous - are all issues we've faced in the past and will likely continue to face. Backers will be kept up-to-date on progress through our production blog. If something goes terribly wrong, you'll be the first to know.
If for some reason we reach our Kickstarter goals, but still fail to actually get the movie off the ground, the following will happen:
All Bag O' Ruckus rewards will be fulfilled (mid 2013).
An Uncle Ruckus mockumentary UNCLE RUCKUS SAVES AMERICA will be produced in place of THE UNCLE RUCKUS MOVIE, allowing all of the rewards to remain unaffected.
Please back the Uncle Ruckus Movie. Then be very ashamed of yourself.

i'm an artist.
i dont find anything redeemable about McGruder's tv iteration of Boondocks. it lost its wit, intellect and impact in the translation, and become nothing more than a coonfest.
it was awful.
It was funny, but also a coonfest.
I think ure unto something !! Anything else will not suffice and it will flop, the little sketches and plots and lines in boondocks was cool , but a whole cotdamn movie of thy shit over & over again for 1.5 hours ? IDK
