Raiders!
Didn't see a thread on this. I just caught it--very fun. Basically the true story of two eleven-year old kids who decided in 1982 to remake Raiders of the Lost Ark shot for shot--and it took them 7 years!
It's a neat story all the way through.

Yeah, I bought this on Vudu a couple weeks ago (it was 9.99, only a few bucks more than a rental, so I just decided to own it). It's a lot of fun - my only wish was that the complete fan film would have been an extra.

Re: Raiders!
I thought they did a pretty good job with the pacing, because the question that came to mind for me pretty early was....

Re: Raiders!
I saw this a couple of months back when it doubled billed with the original homage adaptation made movie (at the AFI Silver) and Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala,in attendance - it was a blast.
the DVD, bluray actually comes out next week :
Special features include more than four hours on bonus content, such as dual audio commentary tracks (with Skousen & Coon as well as Strompolos & Zala), deleted scenes from the documentary, outtakes from the Adaptation, Q&A footage from the Adaptation's 2003 premiere at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX, a photo booklet featuring storyboard art from the Adaptation and a free HD digital copy of the film.

Re: Raiders!
I could have sworn that they released the "copy" a while back? So it's not available in any way? A set with the doc and the film would be a instant buy for me...

Re: Raiders!
I met the people who did the fan film at the theater I volunteer at (they were appearing with double feature of the documentary and the actual fan film). They were very cordial, I got their autographs on a lobby card and they told me about the meeting they had with Steven Spielberg (they said he was very paternal).

I read the bluray over at bluray.com, and they said the fan film will never be able to be seen in its entirety due to copyright issues. Hope to see this movie though, it looks good.

Re: Raiders!
Caught this on Netflix and really enjoyed it. It's amazing to see all that old VHS footage.
One thing that bothered me was the complete absence of any of the music from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I realize those rights are expensive, but it's a bummer.
