Found the problem, thanks again for all of the help.
It turns out you have to define the extra field above def
__init__(self, *args, **kw) as in:
forms.py
------------
class SomeForm(ModelForm):
checkbox = forms.BooleanField(required=False,
widget=forms.CheckboxInput(), label='some label')
def __init__(self, *args, **kw):
self.request = kw.pop('request')
super(SomeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kw)
