Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation (Trailer)

In May, 2005 I traveled to Film Row Cinema at Columbia College in Chicago to view a rare screening of this film hosted by its creators.

"An amateur shot-for-shot remake was made by Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala and Jayson Lamb[2], then children in Biloxi, Mississippi. It took the boys seven years to finish, from 1982-1989. It was discovered by Eli Roth, made famous by Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News[3] and acclaimed by Spielberg himself.[4] After production of the film, called Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation, wrapped in 1989, it was shelved and forgotten until 2003."

This is not a movie for philistines and nimrods. The point is that it's inspiring that a bunch of kids put in such hard work, it was never intended to have better production value than the actual film. If you don't get it or can't appreciate a movie with cheapo production value, there's no reason to shit all over it, just move along and go see Good Luck Chuck.

Dude! I wanna see this remake! Wish somebody post it here.

I heard that they might make a movie about them while making the movie as kids. :D

This is really not a trailer. It's more of a teaser. It barely shows anything. Half of it's white titles on a black background. Disappointing.
