It turns out that besides "Fanboys", there is another "Star Wars" themed project in the works, an indie semi-autobiographical film from Patrick Read Johnson simply titled '77. To all you non-geeks out there, 1977 is the year George Lucas' "Star Wars" is released in theatres. '77 went into production in 2004 and was initially supposed to come out around the same time that "Star Wars: Episode III" hit theatres. But instead, the movie has sat in post production for nearly five years and now it seems that the filmmakers have finally secured enough funding to complete the project. The film premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival in October of last year and now a new trailer has just been released.
Official Synopsis:
Pat Johnson is the only Sci-Fi movie obsessed teen filmmaker in his rural home town of Wadsworth, Illinois (population 750). Pat's desire is to escape "fly-over country" for Hollywood. He must first overcome his fear of leaving everything he knows and loves behind to chase this unlikely dream. The pending release of a new movie called "Star Wars" on 5-25-77 is instrumental in shaping Pat's destiny.
