Popcorn Taxi: Raiders of the Lost Ark - The Adaptation 24 Oct
With special guest filmmaker direct from the USA, Chris Strompolos.
Monday, October 24th, 2005 - 7:30pm
Hoyts Entertainment Quarter, Bent St, Moore Park
"In 1981 on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, three kids decided to remake the biggest summer hit of the season shot by shot, scene for scene... Steven Spielberg's RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK... They were just eleven years old. Seven years later they finished, and nearly twenty years on their Adaptation is re-discovered...
After sell-out festival screenings from Texas to Germany that left audiences raving, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK - THE ADAPTATION arrives in Australia for an exclusive Popcorn Taxi event - a never to be repeated screening of the entire film, followed by an on-stage interview and audience Q&A.
After the screening, co-director and star CHRIS STROMPOLOS joins us to tell the remarkable story behind the making of this 'ultimate backyard movie', including the details on the filmmakers private meeting with Spielberg, and how art imitating art is now imitating life, with Hollywood developing the kids 'making of' story into a feature film for Paramount Pictures.
Due to strict contractual obligations placed on the film from Raiders copyright owners Lucas Film, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK - THE ADAPTATION has been granted a limited number of festival screenings, where the filmmaker must be in attendance. This will most likely be your only chance to ever see this film.
Popcorn Taxi would like to thank SHOWFILM and HOYTS for their generous support in making this program possible. Limited tickets are on sale now. We strongly recommend you grab one before they're all gone!
