Fandom and Fathom Events are collaborating for a special one-night screening on November 26. Never Surrender will play at approximately 600 theaters across the US. The documentary will be accompanied by an exclusive series of deleted scenes and the world premiere of the Honest Trailers: Galaxy Quest Video.
Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary reflects on the legacy and unlikely success story of the original film. It features interviews with many cast and crew from the original film, including Dean Parisot, writer Robert Gordon and stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Justin Long, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub, Missi Pyle, Rainn Wilson and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell. The film also features interviews from celebrity fans including Wil Wheaton, Brent Spiner, Greg Berlanti, Paul Scheer and Damon Lindelof.
“Fandom is powered by fans who deeply care about the movies, shows and games they love. Galaxy Quest was the first film that put fans at the center of the action and really foretold the era we’re in now, where fans are the most powerful force in entertainment,” said Michael Chiang, Fandom SVP of Programming, in a press release. “We are thrilled to offer fans an insider’s look at this quirky, but highly influential film in the form of a one-night only theatrical event.”
Tickets for the screening are currently on sale at FathomEvents.com.Unfortunately, not everything in the world of Galaxy Quest is good news. Back in 2015 we learned Amazon was developing a sequel series with the original cast and creators, but that series was put on indefinite hold in 2016. At least we have the extremely promising Star Trek: Picard to scratch that particular sci-fi itch. Jesse is a mild-mannered staff writer for IGN.
