Fanboys - a Star Wars fan movie
Being a big Star Wars fan I was glad to finally see the release of Fanboys, a movie about four friends who go on a road trip to San Francisco to steal a pre release copy of Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
There was a huge amount of controversy concerning the filming of this movie as the production company really messed with the original script idea, originally the film plot was based around four guys, one of whom had cancer and wanted to see the new film from the second trilogy. Apparently the whole cancer idea did not sit well with the Weinstein Group so they re-shot a lot of the film with a new plot.
This caused quite a lot of angst in the Star Wars fan community as the sneak peak that was shown to a large audience at Star Was Celebration a few years back had the original plot, so they felt betrayed by the film company.
Anyway, that seems to have cleared itself up as it is being released with the original plot.
I am not sure when the film will be released here in Australia but I will make sure I see it when I go the San Francisco later next week, lucky me, US cities listed here.
