Will ’77 be the movie ‘Fanboys’ Really Want?


If you thought that the movie ‘Fanboys’ was lacking and wished that it had gone in a different direction,maybe ’77 will give you ‘A New Hope’,

This movie is about geeky Star Wars fans trying to make their dreams come true and is written and directed by Patrick Read Johnson, telling an autobiographical story about an Illinois teenager (John Francis Daley, a.k.a. Sam Weir from Freaks and Geeks) who is an aspiring filmmaker whose life is changed by the May 25, 1977 release of a little movie called Star Wars.

The movie doesn’t have a release date or a distributor yet, but they’ve released the first trailer and it looks pretty good.

Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments.
