Fan Rants is a podcast done by one crass jerk (Kevin) and one guy who tries to keep him in line (Johnny). We are both Sci Fi geeks, so things tend to be focused in that direction, but we try not to limit ourselves. Topics range from upcoming movies, current TV, Sci Fi conventions, books/comic books we are reading, and how much we'd pay to kick some directors in their hammers. And by hammers, we mean their... Well, you see where that's going. This podcast is explicit, so consider yourself warned. Kevin Slater, Johnny Hunter yes Kevin Slater, Johnny Hunter fantiacs@fanrants.net fantiacs@fanrants.net (Kevin Slater, Johnny Hunter) 2009-2010 A weekly rambling on movies, TV, books, and happenings by a couple of crass jerks. We happen to be into sci fi, you you'll hear a lot of that with other things tossed in. sci,fi,scifi,Movies,Film,tv,television,balls,fant,fants Fan Rants » George Lucas http://fanrants.net/podcasts/fan_rants_logo_pod.jpg http://fanrants.net/fants The People vs. George Lucas (trailer) http://fanrants.net/fants/rants/movienews/the-people-vs-george-lucas-trailer/ http://fanrants.net/fants/rants/movienews/the-people-vs-george-lucas-trailer/#comments Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:26:08 +0000 Kevin http://fanrants.net/fants/?p=1160 Here’s the trailer for the new movie “The People vs. George Lucas”, a story based on Mr. Lucas’ affinity for going back and changing what many people (myself included) consider to be a near masterpiece.  We’ve ranted more than once on the podcast about directors revisiting their moveis 20 years later to “make the movie closer to the intended vision” or some such bullcrap. It’s one thing to go back and lightly touch up the effects so they are cleaner. It’s a whole other thing to go back and add scenes and CHANGE scenes (HAN SHOT FIRST, DAMMIT). This movie looks like it’ll be a funny glimpse into that debate.

The movie was just picked to play at the South by Southwest Movie Festival (SXSW) sometime between March 12th and March 20th.  I’m hoping it gets a wider release than just the film festival circuit. I’m sure the creators are too. It sounds like the’ve put in a lot of work. “2 and 1/2 years…63,686 frequent flyer miles… 634 hours of footage…14 TB of drive space… 126 interviews… 719 fan submissions…” Sounds intense. Keep an eye on SXSW’s movie site (pops) for more info. The official site (pops) for the movie is a good source of information too.
