Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation

Raiders of the Lost Ark The Adaptation is a 1989 American fan film, made as a shotforshot remake of the 1981 Indiana Jones adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark. Using the original films screenplay and score, it principally starred and was filmed, directed and produced over a sevenyear period by three Mississippi teenagers Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala, and Jayson Lamb.

Shooting for the film began in 1982, when Strompolos, Zala and Lamb were onlyyears old, and continued over the next seven summers. It was made on a shoestring budget of around 5000, greatly contrasting with the originalsmillion budget. It was shot out of sequence, so due to its long filming period many actors randomly appear at different ages throughout the course of the film. As Raiders of the Lost Ark was not available on any home media format when they began filming, they were forced to collect all kinds of material about the film, including magazine articles, photographs, and even an illicit recording of the films audio captured during a rerelease screening of the original film in 1982.In 2014, members of the cast raised money on Kickstarter, so they could reunite and film the one scene they were not able to recreate as teenagers, due to the danger of large spinning airplane propellers. ........
