“Fanboys” Trailer
In “Fanboys,” a group of friends who are avid Star Wars fans travel west to see the Holly Grail of all sci-fi movies, “Star Wars: Episode I.” The year is 1999 and for these death star dorks, the Star Wars films are more than just movies; they are a way of life.
So, after one of the group takes sick it is nothing short of a moral imperative that the friends break into George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch to watch the seminal sci-fi picture together before its release. Enlisting the help of an estranged friend, who has traded in his Darth Vader mask for a proper day job, the adventure lays way to some extremely funny situations, including an outrageous brawl with some hard-core Trekkies.
“Fanboys” directed by Kyle Newman, stars Dan Fogler, Jay Baruchel, Kristen Bell, Chris Marquette and Sam Huntington.
The Weinstein Company originally scheduled Fanboys for release a few years back but kept delaying it due to test screening complaints and other issues. It looks like the flick will finally hit theaters February 6, 2009.

Harrison Ford Had No Faith ‘Star Wars’ Would Succeed
Asked by Home Media magazine what his “defining memory” of Star Wars was, Harrison Ford responded,
“The day my accountant convinced me that the success of the film and the two sequels that I was in meant I would never be poor again. It was a very Scarlett O’Hara moment considering prior to that I was making more of a living as a carpenter than an actor.”
Ford indicated that he had little confidence while he was making Star Wars that it would become successful.
“Whenever we would ask [director George] Lucas what we were shooting at or fleeing from he’d just tell us the special effects will be put in much later and that will explain everything, George will never be known as an actor’s director.”
