That was completely.......AMAZING! They really did brilliant work for next to nothing of a budget. Great shot/set recreations, and amazing stunt work. They seemed like really nice, humble guys too. No, it's not original work, but it was really inspiring to me. I've been tossing around ideas for short and feature length films, and I was really motivated by seeing this. If you get the chance to see this, I highly recommend it.

I'm hoping that they can include a copy of this on the potential Daniel Clowes film. I'm not sure how the rights would work out for the soundtrack with the John Williams score though (not to mention the intellectual property rights of the actual story/images). We were quite lucky in that this screening had the whole audio track including the John Williams score. I've read that it had been edited out of screenings when they feared legal problems with Spielberg/Lucasfilm. Perhaps a DVD release could be made on the condition that all proceeds went to charity, as that is the current agreement for the screenings. I don't think Lucasfilm would have to fear this cutting into sales of ROTLA.
