THE DAILY TEASE - August 25th, 2010

Coming to EIFF 2010...it's the movie that has had sold-out audiences at SXSW, Hot Docs, and Edinburgh howling with laughter and on their feet cheering...the movie that Star Wars fans have been waiting 30 years for...it's the critically-acclaimed geek-out celebration, The People vs. George Lucas!

THE PEOPLE VS GEORGE LUCAS
Alexandre O. Philippe | 97’ | DOC CENTRAL | USA| Exhibit A Pictures

Western Canada Premiere! The People vs. George Lucas is a feature-length documentary exploring the unique, sometimes conflicted relationship that Star Wars fans continue to enjoy with the franchise and its creator, George Lucas.

Stuffed with countless celebrity interviews, along with interviews by - and of - Star Wars fans (and fanatics!) from around the globe, The People vs George Lucas is an articulate examination of the many contentious issues that have become an integral part of the Star Wars mystique.

Riotously funny, endlessly entertaining, and crowd-pleasing to the max, The People vs. George Lucas is the first film to truly allow fans and filmmakers alike to voice their opinions and be heard! Already a standing room-only smash at festivals around the world, The People vs George Lucas is a witty and hilarious contemplation of what being a Star Wars fan is really about!

Sure to be one of EIFF 2010's most hotly-anticipated titles, so get your tickets early!

SCREENING: Friday, October 1st at 7:00pm, at Empire City Centre 9.
