Check out this very impressive shot-for-shot match of the original trailer for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (celebrating its 35th Anniversary next week!) and the RAIDERS Adaptation created by Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala and Jayson Lamb.
Drafthouse Films' fascinating and heartfelt documentary RAIDERS!: THE STORY OF THE GREATEST FAN FILM EVER MADE tells
the story of a trio of kids in the 80s who spent seven years of their
lives making a faithful shot-for-shot adaptation of RAIDERS OF THE LOST
ARK. It opens in theaters and on VOD on June 17.
Additionally,
the two stars of the film, Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala, are touring
across the United States on the Raiders: Follow Your Dreams Tour with a
double feature screening of the documentary PLUS the original
Adaptation. They are currently visiting 35+ cities this summer with more
stops being added. Dates & more info listed below.
Synopsis:
After
Steven Spielberg's classic Raiders of the Lost Ark was released 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!:
The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made is just that: the story of
this long-gestating project's culmination, chronicling the friends'
dedication to their artistic vision-mixed in with some movie magic-to
create a personal, epic love letter to a true modern classic.
