FAN (BOYS) - TASTIC!

Kristen Bell joins the special ranks of Slave Leia-dom for FANBOYS (out on DVD and Blu-ray October 4th). Image: copyright ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT.

I don't really need any incentive to put up this wonderfully gratuitous shot of the gorgeous Kristen Bell dressed as Bikini Leia from the Kyle Newman STAR WARS love letter/road trip movie FANBOYS, but its a nice celebration of the fact that the film, also produced by Kevin Spacey (who does one helluva mean Christopher Walken as Han Solo impersonation!), is finally being released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK, from ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT, on October 4th (perhaps the film company thought they'd tease us Brits the way FOX did back in 1977, by having us wait six months longer than everybody else in the world to see it!). There's also a prior London West End premiere of the film taking place at the Apollo Cinema in Piccadilly Circus the pm of Tuesday 28th September, so, along with the anticipated stars, I'm sure the promotional people handling the films release here are eager to see as many people as possible dressed up as Jedi and Stormtroopers to act as a celebratory crowd for both the films much anticipated arrival, and, equally important, to justify their work as publicists!
