    Am quite looking forward to this... couple of cameos from Star Wars vets such as Billy Dee Williams and Carrie Fisher and also has a very good cast of young actors: Sam Huntington, Chris Marquette, Jay Baruchel, Kristen Bell, Seth Rogen and Lou Taylor Pucci.

    For those who don't know what it's about:
    Fanboys is a comedy about friends, fans and delusions of grandeur.

    Fanboys takes place in the fall of 1998, a time when everything was pure and Star Wars ruled the world once again. We follow four life-long best friends who travel cross-country in an attempt to break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. Their mission is to see Star Wars Episode I early when they discover one of the young men in their group is diagnosed with terminal cancer and will not live long enough to see the film in theaters the following May.

    Promo poster here and a couple of more promo shots here

    Not much else about it online.. a trailer is due in a few weeks. But i've saved the best til last....
























    ... Kristen Bell as Leia!

    :eek: ** droooooool ** :eek:

    Mmm, Kristen Bell looks so cute there. There's something about her crossed eyes that is so sexy.

    Hadn't heard about this - if it's written well, this could potentially be a fantastic film. It needs to be accessible to non-fanboys, beyond the likely innumerable references. Could be a sleeper-hit, I think.

    Trailer's up

    .. bit average really. Enjoyed a couple of the Star Wars in-jokes.. but looks like a decent cast (Seth Rogen looked really odd in the brief appearance he did.. only recognised him due to his voice)

    Good idea, but hopefully they wont ruin it in the way they tend to ruin other great ideas.
