Raiders! The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made in de bioscoop

Het verhaal achter Raiders! The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made is inmiddels legendarisch. De twee vrienden Eric Zala en Chris Strompolos zagen in hun kinderjaren Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark en besloten dit na te spelen voor de camera. Ze hadden de film bijna af wanneer hun vriendschap op de proef wordt gesteld vanwege een meisje. Nu, jaren later, herenigen de twee zich om de film af te maken. Dit vormt het verhaal van de documentaire Raiders!. Na vertoningen bij verschillende festivals zal de film ook in de bioscoop worden uitgebracht.

De volledige synopsis:

After Steven Spielberg’s classic film was released almost 35 years ago, three 11-year-old boys from Mississippi set out on what would become a 7-year-long labor of love and tribute to their favorite film: a faithful, shot-for-shot adaptation of the action adventure film. They finished every scene…except one; the film’s explosive airplane set piece. Over two decades later, the trio reunited with the original cast members from their childhood in order to complete their masterpiece. Featuring interviews with John Rhys Davies, Eli Roth and more, Raiders! is the story of the project’s culmination, chronicling the friends’ dedication to their artistic vision-mixed in with some movie magic-to create the greatest fan film ever made.
