Mass Market Retail Brings Home Rise of the Fellowship
Family friendly geeky hit movie comes to Walmart, Sam's Club and Netflix
(Washington, D.C.-December 16th, 2013) The creators of the award winning geek film Rise of the Fellowship were
bowled over when they found out that their movie will hit brick and
mortar retailers Walmart and Sam's Club December 18th, 2013 AND online
powerhouse Netflix January 3, 2014. The movie is currently available
via Amazon, Itunes and Vudu. The film tells the tale of four gamer
friends from highschool as their heroism and bravery is put to the test
as they struggle to get to the Lord of the Rings Online competition to
right a wrong. Rise of the Fellowship is being distributed by Phase 4
Films.
Director
Ron Newcomb explains why fans are so drawn to the story. “There is a
little Geek and Hero in all of us is the tagline for a reason. Who
hasn’t felt awkward and misunderstood? Who hasn’t felt like the world
was against you? And let’s face it.. who DOESN’T want to save the day?!
Yes it’s heavily based around the Lord of the Rings world and
competitive video gaming but the movie is enjoyable without knowledge of
either. In the end, it’s about friends banding together, period.”
The reviews are in:
“While it pays many a tribute to J.R.R. Tolkien’s books and Peter Jackson’s films, Rise of the Fellowship is not simply a Lord of the Rings
knock-off. It is a well-written, family-friendly comedy that will
appeal to a variety of audiences and is a must-see for any fan of The Lord of the Rings and The Lord of the Rings Online.” - Britta Siemen http://tolkienbritta.blogspot.com/
“The movie won the 2012 Gen Con Film Festival and it’s not hard to see why.” - Rebecca “Bonks'” Rothschild www.sugargamers.com
About Rise of The Fellowship:
Randall
Dooley is a geek. His three best friends are geeks too. He works in a
game shop, he spends all his free time playing online games, his older
brother bullies him unmercifully, his widowed mom doesn't understand
him, and he's hopelessly in love with the prettiest cheerleader in high
school. In short, he's a loser. All of that changes when he hears of the
Lord of the Rings Online gaming competition in Orlando, Florida.
Finally! Meaning in life! Rise of the Fellowship is a buddy-comedy
written in honor of online gamers and The Lord of the Rings. Full of
Tolkien-references and good-hearted parody, Rise of the Fellowship will
appeal to Tolkien-fans and gamers alike, as well as anyone who's never
been part of the in-crowd.
