Harry from Aint It Cool News wrote a review of a remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark that some teenagers made. It's actually being screened this weekend (May 31 and June 1st) in Austin, Texas.

In 1982, Eric Zala, Jayson Lamb and Chris Strompolis began filming a shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark. They were twelve years old. Six years later, the film was in the can. Fifteen years later still, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is proud to announce, the theatrical world premiere of Raiders of the Lost Ark: the Adaptation. No other film experience will prepare you for this, Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation is like no other film you have ever seen (except of course Raiders of the Lost Ark). This trio of filmmakers showed more tenacity, originality, heart, courage and skill than ten independent production teams put together, and all before puberty! SEE Indiana Jones grow six inches, drop into a baritone and grow facial hair! SEE Marion Ravenwood develop breasts! SEE the meanest pack of prepubescent nazis ever recorded on film! Eric Zala, Jayson Lamb and Chris Strompolis are flying in to Austin for this screening from all corners of the US. There will be a Q&A after each screening where they tell all about the unbelievable six year adolescent adventure that is Raiders of the Lost Ark: the Adaptation!

This is an amazing accomplishment. Just read Harry's review about this film here and you'll say the same. I wish I could attend one of the 2 screenings at the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown in Austin, Texas tonight - Saturday May 31st at Midnight and Sunday June 1st at 4pm.

Many thanks to Harry Knowles for telling us all about this film. We had absolutely no idea this film existed! Thanks!

I found a cool Indiana Jones reference while I was turning over the leaves of a popular Belgian magazine. Here you see an advertisement from the French car constructor Peugeot, announcing it's new special series named 'Peugeot Partner Indiana'. Yup, they are promoting this special version of their 'Partner' car as one especially equipped for the adventurers among us. They even spoofed the 'Well of Souls' scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. So you see that after 20 years adventure's name is still Indiana (Jones).

For AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes & Villains, the American Film Institute asked industry insiders to choose the best baddies - and goodies - from a list of 400 characters. Now TV Guide gives us the chance to also vote for our favorite Hero & Villain. You can choose from TV Guide Online's Top 100 Heroes & Villains by clicking here. "Choose wisely."

Results will be posted on Monday, June 2. So you still got time to support your favorite hero... Indiana Jones.
