If you love fan films or Indiana Jones, you have not lived until you’ve seen Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation—the legendary fan film made by three teens over the course of seven years. From start to end, they recreate just about everything from the original, from the truck chase to the boulder to the opening of the Ark at the end. It’s plain astonishing—and a heck of a lot of fun. How cool is it? Let’s put it this way: Steven Spielberg is a fan of their movie.
The behind-the-scenes story is just as amazing, too; it took an entire chapter of Homemade Hollywood to tell it, and there’s a major motion picture in the works to tell the tale as well.
So where can you see this movie? It ain’t on the internet. You can only catch it at special screenings, complete with Q&As with the filmmakers. They only do a few a year, traveling the world with their movie; the next showings scheduled are:
• Richmond, Virginia, USA – James River Film Festival – April 17-19, 2009
• Fullerton, California, USA – Troy High School – Friday, April 24, 2009
If you get the opportunity, check ‘em out—you won’t be sorry!
