Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation

A Jones for Indiana

…one of the strangest permutations of ’80s nostalgia to hit movie screens—the now-notorious Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation, a 100-minute shot-for-shot amateur-video remake of the 1981 Spielberg-Lucas adventure flick, created over a span of seven years by a group of kids in small-town Reagan-era Mississippi.

A shot-by-shot comparison (real film to the remake) can be found here at Raiders.net, and you can download the trailer here. This is got to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen this month.
