The cast and crew of Cameron Crowe’s generation-defining masterpiece Almost Famous are set to reunite to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film. 

The cast, crew, and Crowe himself will all appear on James Andrew Miller’s Origins podcast. Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Jason Lee, Patrick Fugit, Zooey Deschanel, Jimmy Fallon, Peter Frampton, Nancy Wilson, and more will jump back on the proverbial bus for what is destined to be the yarn of a lifetime.

We highly recommend you make an event on it. We’re almost certain that in every girl has a phase where they think they can go through life dressed like Penny Lane, so dig out those old flares and your collection of shags, burn a couple of candles and invite your friends round to lie on the floor and bask in the glory of the film that shaped us all. Hell, why not go the extra mile and host a screening of it afterwards. There is truly no feeling more triumphant than belting out that inimitable chorus of Elton John classic ‘Tiny Dancer’ with the ones you hold most dear.

Miller has dropped a three-minute trailer offering you a sneak peek of what’s to come. An official release date for the podcast has yet to be revealed but we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

The Origins podcast sees James Andrew Miller explore the genesis of success stories in the television, film, sports, music and business realms.
