Well, I haven’t heard of this before, and since the search-function on this board is as helpful as flushing the toilet, I don’t know if you have:

And to my 6 year old eyes and mind there was magic before I even sat down in the theater with my mom- I could barely comprehend why there was a 3/4 of a mile long line (literally) of happy excited people waiting to see this film. And not some die-hards who camped out for weeks either- these were normal everyday people. And afterwards everyone talked about it... for weeks and months afterwards. There wasn't the buzz-factory and Hollywood crap that shoved down our throats every week these days to get us to waste $10 on some over-hyped movie-du-jour. This was the real deal. Pre-internet good ole human love of good cinema. Good entertaining cinema that had accessible human characters thrust into situations that were familiar feeling but entirely new. And tickets were affordable enough that people would go back to see films over and over- in no small part due to the fact that there was no home video market. People used to count the times they went to films and wear those numbers as bragging rights. Hell between the intial release and subsequent re-releases of 'Star Wars' I saw it in the theater 27 times. And I do not count the one viewing of the SE as #28 either.
Being a part of that experience was absolutely my 'first step into a larger world' and part of me actually is saddened that anyone else had to experience it any other... but that's life, right?

Problem is you can't MAKE a blockbuster. Very few films that went into existence with the expectation of *being* a blockbuster ever become one. And I don't mean just making a decent release weekend boxoffice By definition a 'blockbuster' is something, such as a film or book, that sustains widespread popularity and achieves enormous sales. Not just good first weekend. Bloated expensive films are a dime a dozen and realistically, even with DVD sales and overseas revenue, studios will reach a point that it just isn't worth spending $200 million to have a total take of $250 million when all is said and done. Instead of trying to be the biggest or loudest film they should focus on getting the best film out of the money they are budgeted for.
Actually I just had a cool idea! (Well, cool to me at least) What if, as an experiment, a current filmmaker were to be given a budget equivalent in today's dollars to the budget of the original 'Star Wars' and given the task of completely re-making 'The Phantom Menace' (or maybe any of the PT) using ONLY that budget and ONLY 70s-era movie tech? The goal would be to see if the vision and the script could be enough to make a good picture instead of just relying on dazzling effects to fill in gaps. Hmmm... just a thought.

Why? I mean, it looks professional and all. Hell, they've got Lloyd in there doing some sort of role. I don't think that he would star in some student film. Plus, Gary Kurtz's name is on there too.
This looks quite interesting. I really hope that I'll get to see this, some how. Maybe even in the theater. Though at the bottom of the page is looks like a low budget fan film or something. I doubt it will come to any Cineplex...
What exactly is this movie about?

I have been very scared the movie wouldn't be released, but he said it WILL be at theatres. Whether it's a small or wide release is up in the air right now.
But I am so glad. Needs to be seen in a theatre!

Well yes, that would be different case completly, Im happy with the great discs the great editors and preservation people turn out here, so I have no real interest in the "Archival" set other than the extras if they include things like the deleted scenes etc but i am not parting with my cash just for the extras. and seeing the films in 3-D doesnt appeal to me, i may have wanted to make the effort if they were shown normally not in 3-D
