Star Wars Geeks Are Back Again In '77 Trailer

Star Wars Geeks Are Back Again In '77 Trailer Still feeling a little burned by the disappointing movie that Fanboys became when the Weinstein Company pillaged it? Maybe you can find 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 they've released the first trailer. It's a good trailer, though one that's really over-reliant on familiar songs-- Paul Simon's "Kodachrome,'" ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" and (I think) Jon Brion's song from I Heart Huckabees. Seriously, we all love "Mr. Blue Sky," but it needs to be retired from media right alongside "Don't Stop Believin'."

Anyway, check it out for yourself below, and see if you identify with the geeky kid at the center of it. I have a feeling we'll all find something to like here.
