—

I'm not sure why everyone is so fascinated with making movies about Star Wars recently, but I don't mind, I'll see every last one, I'm a big Star Wars geek. I've actually heard of the movie 77 before, back when it was previously known as 5-25-77 - which, for those who don't know, is the ...

Trailer - How 'Star Wars' Changed Things in '77'

— getthebigpicture.net — I didn't think Fanboys did much to ingratiate itself to non- Star Wars fans, but '77 looks... like it approaches Star Wars as a story element in the life of someone rather than someone's life revolving around Star Wars . That's a big difference if you're in the audience. To be sure, ... (more) Trailer - How 'Star Wars' Changed Things in '77'

Happy Birthday, 'Star Wars'

— getthebigpicture.net — It's hard to even think about what summer movies were like before Star Wars . No, it... wasn't the first "summer blockbuster" - that would be Jaws - but after 1977, everything changed. Now, of course, summer is the major period of big budget popcorn movies every year, responsible for a ... (more) Happy Birthday, 'Star Wars'

77 Trailer Online
The Movie Blog — ... it is a heartfelt drama, that although appealing to the sci-fi geek in me, really hits home with the love affair with Star Wars that we had. And its star, John Francis Daley of Freaks and Geeks and more recently Bones is just awesome. The guy is a solid actor, and will serve this role well.

‘77 Movie Trailer
/Film — Before Fanboys was ever announced, there was another Star Wars-themed project in the works, an indie coming of age drama titled 5-25-77 from Patrick Read Johnson (director of Angus, writer of Dragonheart). Many geeks will reccognize that date as the day that Star Wars was released in theaters. The movie went into production in 2004, and has sat in post production for nearly five years. The film premiered at the  Hamptons International Film Festival in October of last year under a new minimalistic title, ‘77. The film tells the ...

Star Wars Geeks Are Back Again In '77 Trailer
Cinema Blend News — ... some consolation in '77 , the other tiny indie about geeky Star Wars fans trying to make their dreams come true. This one 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, and 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 First Showing has the first trailer, presumably in an attempt to beef up geek interest online. ...
