RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE ADAPTATION
Sat. JUNE 9 - 7 and 9:45, DOWNTOWN

Filmmakers live in person!

"I saw and appreciated the vast amounts of imagination and originality you put in your film." - Steven Spielberg

In 1982, Eric Zala, Jayson Lamb and Chris Strompolis began filming a shot-for-shot remake of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. They were twelve years old. Six years later, the film was in the can. Nineteen years later still, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is proud to announce RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE ADAPTATION with the filmmakers live in person, telling the amazing story of this legendary movie. No other film experience will prepare you for this. The Adaptation is like no other film you have ever seen (except of course RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK). This trio of filmmakers showed more tenacity, originality, heart, courage and skill than ten independent production teams put together, and all before puberty! SEE Indiana Jones grow six inches, drop into a baritone and grow facial hair! SEE Marion Ravenwood develop breasts! SEE the meanest pack of prepubescent nazis ever recorded on film. RAIDERS: THE ADAPTATION had its World Premiere at the Alamo Drafthouse in 2002 after a copy of the film fell into the hands of Alamo pal director Eli Roth (CABIN FEVER). Roth loved its whimsy and ingenuity, and brought it to the attention of Steven Spielberg. A much-read piece in Vanity Fair ensued, and a Hollywood bidding war broke out. The three signed their life rights to producer Scott Rudin for a reported mid-six figures, and a feature film about these boys' lives is in the works. Join the film-makers at the original Alamo Drafthouse for these last epic shows of RAIDERS: THE ADAPTATION in the theater where its legend began.
