Paul Spence of FUBAR fame will visit Victoria for the rollout of DEANER ’89, his ode to the likeable character and maligned strain of hair metal that is the focus of the new feature film based on his screenplay.
Tickets: $13.33 from victoriafilmfestival.com
Fittingly, the Calgary-born Spence — in character as Deaner — will also take part in a tailgate party Saturday at Touchdown Pacific, the CFL game being staged at Royal Athletic Park. “We weren’t supposed to come to Victoria,” Spence said, during an interview with the Times Colonist. “But I told the people putting this together, Victoria has always been so good to me.”
A second TV series, TNT FUBAR, and mobile video game, FUBAR: Just Give’r, were the creations of Lawrence alone, after Spence sold off his share of the rights to the film and FUBAR-related endeavours. Lawrence came through Victoria in April with FUBAR Live, featuring heavy metal karaoke. But the character of the Deaner — of which Spence has complete ownership — was always the more likeable of the two, which made a film based solely on his character somewhat inevitable.
