RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK:THE ADAPTATION
Thursday, June 16 at 7:30pm
Members $12 Public $16 Includes Reception
In Person: CHRIS STROMPOLOS (Indiana Jones)
and ERIC ZALA (Belloq)
It's 1981. Raiders of the Lost Ark hits the big screen. Particularly impressed are three highly motivated
twelve-year olds who conceive a shot-for-shot remake of Raiders, stunts and all. It would take
them seven years. So how do you make a Hollywood film on an allowance? Boy Scout uniforms
become Nazi costumes, and Mom's basement transforms into a Tibetan tavern (which nearly burns
down). The boys' enthusiasm is a joy to behold, but part of the fun is watching them hit puberty.
Voices change, actors appear short in one scene, tall the next. The actor playing Indy even shared
his first-ever kiss on-screen with Marion! Raiders: The Adaptation is unavailable on DVD and
has screened publicly in only a handful of venues. After a tour of
Skywalker Ranch and a meeting with Steven Spielberg, the boys
(who are now in their late 30s) sold their life story to Paramount
Pictures & producer Scott Rudin (The Social Network). Oscarnominated
screenwriter Daniel Clowes (Ghost World) completed the
script as a potential project for director Terry Zwigoff (Bad Santa).
