Fanboys*
US 2008. Weinstein Company/Trigger Street/Picture Machine. 90m.
Four Star Wars fans travel across America intending to break into Skywalker Ranch to see Star Wars Episode I before its release, for the sake of one of them who is terminally ill.
The Star Wars fan film cult reaches professional level: as fan films go a rather average effort. A gross-out spoof road movie exclusively for its generation with knowing in-jokes, and the plot turns sentimental before long, but with some good vignettes and effortless guest cameos.
Written by: Ernest Cline, Adam F. Goldberg.
Producers: Dana Brunetti, Kevin Spacey, Matthew Perniciara, Evan Astrowsky.
Director: Kyle Newman.
Starring: Sam Huntington, Dan Foglert, Kristen Bell, Jay Baruchel, Christopher Marquette, Danny Trejo, Seth Rogen, Billy Dee Williams, William Shatner, Carrie Fisher, Ray Park.
Photography: Lucas Ettlin.
Music: Mark Mothersbaugh.
Production Design: Cory Lorenzen.
+ LAST LINE OF FILM: "Guys...what if the movie sucks?"
Preceded by:
Miracle Fish*
(Australia 2008. Qoob TV/Screen Australia/Druid Films.Blue-Tonge Films. 17m.; On his birthday a bullied schoolboy suspects his wish has come true when the school is suddenly emptied - by a serial killer.; w, d: Luke Doolan; p: Drew Bailey; s: Karl Beattie, Brendan Donoghue.)
