“THE SCI-FI BOYS”
Peter Jackson, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg,
John Landis, Dennis Muren, Ray Bradbury, Rick Baker, Roger
Corman, Ray Harryhausen and other legendary all-stars of
cinema bring to life the evolution of science-fiction and
special effects films from the wild and funny days of
B-movies to blockbusters that have captured the world’s
imagination. This is the story of the Sci-Fi Boys who
started out as kids making amateur movies inspired by
Forrest J Ackerman’s FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine
and grew up to take Hollywood by storm, inventing the art
and technology for filming anything the mind can dream.
Dennis Muren, 8-time Academy
Award® winner, shares his childhood space and monster
movies for the first time, as do others in “THE SCI-FI
BOYS.” There’s also over an hour of rare bonus material
sci-fi treasures.

QUOTES
PETER JACKSON:
“This film charts the evolution of fantastic cinema, to put
on record, for all time, the influence that the pioneers of
special effects had on my generation of filmmakers.”
JOHN LANDIS:
“Spielberg, Lucas… these guys are the revenge of the nerds,
because when they were in school wanting to make films, they
were skinny little geek kids… they were Sci-Fi Boys.”
RAY BRADBURY:
“Ray Harryhausen and I made a pact, promising to grow old
and never grow up, and to keep the pteradactyl and the
tyrannosaurus rex forever in our hearts, and lo, it
happened!”
BOB BURNS:
“I’m 70 years old and I’m still a Sci-Fi Boy, and I always
will be!” |
