"Join the Flumeride"

I have been in contact with the director of the Roxette parody movie “Join The Flumeride”. We had a short discussion about the film and he told me that the rights to the film is not completely his for the moment, but the school where he went when he made it. But the fact is that he is about to try to buy the rights and then have the full rights to do what he wants with it. After this there´s a possibility to make it avaiable to us fans. So, since he is not really a Roxette fan and therefore has no idea of where to reach all the people he asked me to help him to do that job for him.
Well, to the point... He wanted to know the interest among you fans to actually buy a copy of the film + soundtrack (and maybe even a bonus including a documentary about the making of the Flumeride, where Gessle appears quite a lot). He didn´t want the situation where he could sell 10 copies and then find a LOT of illegal ones afterwards, of course. He is not a movie company with unlimited cash that can afford that. He would more do this for us fans than to make a lot of profit, so please be serious when answering my question! He could of course not say a price since he still has no clue what it costs, but it will be affordable of course! So, the question is: Is there an interest of the film + soundtrack (and maybe this documentary) and are you willing to pay for it?
Thanks!

I’m interested as well, of course... ;) But you already know that, Per, don’t you?! Just to keep this on top... ;-P

Yes, Susi, I know, hihi! ;) Thanks for the reply! :D
Speedo: The film is the story about Pierre Gaffel (Per Gessle) and Marit Fredmansson (Marie Fredriksson).
It is a parody that goes in paralell with the real story and the music in the film is no covers on the real songs, but similar songs with similar text. So if you know the real story this parody is just the best.
People that was involved in the real story (like Lasse Lindbom) can also be found in this movie, but talking about the paralell history instead.
They are making fun of almost everything that can be made fun about!
Well, hard to explain here, one have to see it.
