Stars Remade The Princess Bride in a 2020 Home-Made Series
In 2020, filmmaker Jason Reitman created a homemade remake of The Princess Bride during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The short clips featured many actors, including Adam Sandler, Zoe Saldaña, Jennifer Garner and Chris Pine, along with original cast member Fred Savage and director Rob Reiner.
Reitman said he wanted to do something useful during California's stay-at-home order and was inspired by a fan-made Star Wars film.
The project raised support for World Central Kitchen, which helped restaurants affected by pandemic lockdowns.
It aired on Quibi, a mobile-focused streaming service that shut down a few months after launch, limiting the series' reach.
The series is now available on YouTube for viewers who want to watch it.
