MacHeads Film to Explore the ‘Cult of Mac’
There’s a new trailer for the coming film MacHeads making the internet rounds today. The film, which so far doesn’t have a release date, looks sort of like Trekkies, but focuses on the “cult of Mac” rather than the cult of Star Trek. The trailer doesn’t give many hints as to what the film is about, but we have no doubt that many a Mac fan will be at least momentarily entranced.
Given that PCs currently outnumber Macs two to one in my household, I don’t think I qualify as a Mac head (though OS X is running on one of those PCs so many that makes up for it). That said, even I will admit there’s something strangely compelling about Apple, Steve Jobs and the whole aura of Macs.
Whether you find Mac fans annoying pedants or you’re happily draining the Kool-Aid from Steve’s over-sized sippy cup, there’s no denying that Apple and its fans have a significant impact on the web and tech culture in general.
Will we fork out $12 to see MacHeads? Nah, we’ll just wait until it hits the iTunes Store.
[Trivia note: Wired’s resident Mac expert Leander Kahney (founder of the Cult of Mac blog and author of several books on Apple) makes an appearance in the trailer.]
