Raiders of the Lost Ark - Adaptation! June 27, 2009

Filmmakers from Steven Spielberg to Quentin Tarantino have declared themselves fans of the film!

It took seven summers to make, required a cast of, well, dozens, and included the star’s first on and off-screen kiss, but RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE ADAPTATION has become a favorite of independent cinemas around the world, screening at the famous Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the Smithsonian in Washington DC, and most recently in London for its UK premiere.

In 1982, three boys from the Mississippi Gulf Coast were just twelve years old in when they set out to make their own shot-by-shot re-creation of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.

They finished in 1989 at age nineteen. By saving up their allowances, hijacking younger siblings, and setting a basement on fire, they used astonishing ingenuity to make a film that is surprisingly entertaining, even stunning.
