Fanboys
Never tell them the odds.
Directed by Kyle Newman
Produced by The Weinstein Company, Third Rail Releasing
A heartfelt buddy comedy about friendship and fandom that balances irreverent humor with genuine emotional stakes around mortality and devotion.
In 1999, Star Wars fanatics take a cross-country trip to George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch so their dying friend can see a screening of The Phantom Menace before its release.
