May 25 , 1977 was a turning point for plastic film fan ; it was the 24-hour interval Star Wars was release and basically exchange the entertainment landscape painting evermore . That also seems to be the news report the movie 5 - 25 - 77 , written and directed by Patrick Read Johnson , want to tell . peradventure . Possibly ? Honestly , after regard the trailer it ’s kind of tough to tell .
Honestly , it ’s less about Star Wars than it is a love - letter of the alphabet to the films that amount before it . Which in and of itself is n’t a bad affair , but … well , check out the trailer via Ai n’t It Cool News :
5 - 25 - 77 star topology Freaks and Geeks ’ John Francis Daley as Pat , a character based on Johnson himself , who grow up with the scifi of the late ‘ 60 / early ‘ 70s , made his own movie at home , and then was the first kid on his block to see Star Wars .
There ’s no incertitude this movie was made with more love than money , and you ’ve got to honor it for that . But this is not a great trailer . For example , for a movie titled after the premiere of Star Wars , there ’s shockingly little Star Wars in there , and nothing about how it inspired him . It feels more about his connection to 2001 or Planet of the Apes or Jaws . ( How creepy is that dead on Spielberg look - likewise , for instance ? ) Or maybe it ’s just a movie about his passion for filmmaking in general , which would probably be fine … if the movie was n’t called 5 - 25 - 77 .
Maybe that ’s just the pretentious Star Wars devotee in me . But it just feel like the idea of the picture show feels more exciting than the reality the trailer is presenting .
Also , if 5 - 25 - 77 look more dated than even its period setting , that ’s because Read Johnson had originally planned to release it in 2007 for the thirtieth day of remembrance of Star Wars . What come about in that 10 years since is believably a story desirable of a moving-picture show itself . We just go for this moving picture ends up being more interesting than this trailer . We need more passion projects like this to make it all the elbow room into our eyeballs .
5 - 25 - 77 will be released 5 - 25 - 17 .
