Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real R. Buckminster Fuller coined 'Spaceship Earth' and his Dymaxion car appears in the film. The dome was built specifically for production.
The film captures 2016's peak indie-music-in-every-scene era, but the Ramones references are surprisingly accurate to actual punk history.

I'm not usually one of those people who has to have every book they like made into a movie, but this story was so good, I'm glad people who don't read will get to experience it. The preview looks decent.
