Damn the man, save the Empire! See what the stars of Empire Records all look like NOW (via toofab)

-- and one helluva soundtrack,"Empire Records" was a flop at the box office at the time. The movie -- which revolved around the employees of an indie record store fighting back against a corporate takeover -- only earned $273,188The movie, however, eventually got some love when it was released on VHS.

"God it's already 25 years ... so, a little bit before the 20th anniversary," he told TooFab when asked when he started feeling the love."Because people started asking to do interviews and stuff and then somebody explained to me what Rex Manning Day was." "The excitement or the knowledge of the fact that there's something on the date, which the date being April 8th I think [he's right], the day Rex Manning is coming into the store to make his appearance, it was bizarre to me," said Whitworth."But, as time has gone on, I really appreciate the people who appreciate it."

"They don't make movies like that anymore. We had three months to shoot that film that took place in one day. We had three weeks of rehearsal," he explained."The cast was all primarily new, young and they housed us on the beach. We all had our own homes and they would just walk down the beach to hang out with each other. Shenanigans, there was a lot of shenanigans."
