Slashfilm created a buzz this afternoon with a story that Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation was given a theatrical rating to be shown in the UK, leading to the idea that it will get a widespread theatrical release there.
Turns out that’s not entirely true, but at the least, the famous fan film will make its theatrical debut, complete with a live Q&A with the filmmaking team of Eric Zala and Chris Strompolos.
Here’s the scoop, direct from Zala:
We’re having our UK premiere in London – Tuesday, April 28th at Vue’s flagship cinema in Leister Square, courtesy of sponsor IGN!
.
However, to clarify, contrary to the supposition in [Slashfilm], this is not for a theatrical run. Rather, it’ll be a one-night-only event, loaded with extras – official prop raffle, Indy buffet (think chilled monkey brains!), prop display etc. They’re flying Chris & I around the pond for the show and Q&A! Fun times ahead…
If you’re in London, don’t miss seeing the film—it’s a blast (And I might as well add that if you want to find out the full story behind their flick, go by your local library or bookstore and pick up my history of fan films, Homemade Hollywood; it has an entire chapter devoted to their incredible story).
