Video Interview: Cast of Fanboys

In this exclusive video feature, ARTISTdirect.com uses the force to extract a hilarious interview from the cast of Fanboys.

Being a fanboy isn't easy. It takes strength, dedication, and a complete mastery of the force. We learned this firsthand from Fanboys' leading Jedi, er, men, Sam Huntington, Chris Marquette, and Dan Fogler.

In the film, the comrades take on the task of busting into George Lucas' legendary Skywalker Ranch in order to steal a print of Episode I: The Phantom Menace before it hits theaters. They embark on this mission so that cancer-stricken Linus (Marquette) can see the flick before it comes out. It's an epic journey across the country that brings them head-to-head with lame Trekkies, tastemaker hipsters, and William Shatner himself. We spent some time talking to Huntington, Marquette, and Fogler about being a friend, being a fan, and becoming heroes.

Fanboys, out today, February 6th, is razor—no, lightsaber—sharp. Hop in the Millennium Falcon and join the geeks in this video only on ARTISTdirect.com.
