This expanded "bootleg" edit of Director/Writer Cameron Crowe's deeply personal and universally entertaining coming-of-age story, features nearly 40 minutes of material not seen in the original theatrical release. ALMOST FAMOUS is the semi-autobiographical odyssey of 15-year-old William Miller (Patrick Fugit), whose writing talent and earnest passion for rock music earns him an assignment for Rolling Stone, interviewing and touring with Stillwater (Billy Crudup, Jason Lee). Penny Lane (Kate Hudson) is the young groupie who guides him through the wild world of rock heroes, all-night parties, and the most dangerous intensity of all—love.
