'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' adapted by young fans, goes Hollywood

The ads stated it was the Los Angeles premiere of the much-anticipated Indiana Jones movie Wednesday night at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. There was a lot of buzz about this one, because few in the audience had seen a frame of it. The contents were closely guarded by filmmakers intent on keeping them off the Internet. But a quick inspection of the courtyard outside the Chinese turned up the usual tourists and Marilyn Monroe impersonators. Small signs directed the crowd up a couple flights of stairs to the adjacent Chinese 6 multiplex.
