Bill Nye at the 13th Annual Samsung Hope For Children Gala in New York City on June 10, 2014.Evan Agostini—Invision/AP by [Isabella Biedenharn / Entertainment Weekly](/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Isabella Biedenharn / Entertainment Weekly Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Jul 13, 2015 8:37 PM CUT In [a new Kickstarter campaign](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/structurefilms/the-bill-nye-film "undefined"), filmmakers David Alvarado and Jason Sussberg seek to turn every ’90s kid’s favorite TV show, _Bill Nye The Science Guy_, into a film. [_The Bill Nye Film_](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/structurefilms/the-bill-nye-film "undefined") was inspired, of course, by The Science Guy himself. “Bill’s show played a huge role in our desire to explore science and technology in our work,” Alvarado and Sussberg explain in their Kickstarter video. “Bill is about to take off his ‘Science Guy’ lab coat and battle the naysayers to create a more scientifically literate and engaged universe,” the filmmakers write. “We’re going to make a film about it. A film for science. A film for the cosmos. The full access, exclusive film about Bill Nye.” The best part? As the phrase “full access, exclusive” implies, Nye is completely involved — even with this Kickstarter campaign. He features prominently in the video: “You need money,” he tells them. “What — are you going to go to like, Big Oil? Or the creationists?” Prizes for donating include a set of Bill Nye-themed emojis, a PDF of Bill’s handwritten notes from his debate with creationist Ken Hamm, and dog bow ties. As Nye says, “With this, we could… dare I say it? _Change the world!_” _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/13/bill-nye-film-kickstarter "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3956234/bill-nye-film-kickstarter-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3956234/bill-nye-film-kickstarter-video/"},"headline":"Watch Bill Nye Star in a Kickstarter Video for The Bill Nye Film","datePublished":"2015-07-13T20:37:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:22:04.160Z","description":"The Science Guy for a science movie","url":"https://time.com/3956234/bill-nye-film-kickstarter-video/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltee7eaab2045cc232/69885aac8e0601eafa4615d2/bill-nye.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Isabella Biedenharn / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltee7eaab2045cc232/69885aac8e0601eafa4615d2/bill-nye.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bill Nye at the 13th Annual Samsung Hope For Children Gala in New York City on June 10, 2014.","caption":"Bill Nye at the 13th Annual Samsung Hope For Children Gala in New York City on June 10, 2014.","creditText":"Evan Agostini—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3956234/bill-nye-film-kickstarter-video/","name":"Watch Bill Nye Star in a Kickstarter Video for The Bill Nye Film"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Top 5 Underrated Sci-Fi Movie Masterpieces","description":"Steven James Snyder, Techland's resident movie geek, outlines the top 5 most under-rated sci-fi movies of all time","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/xe99vdU4/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2010-01-11T22:26:40.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/xe99vdU4.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3956234/bill-nye-film-kickstarter-video/","duration":"PT4M45S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3956234/bill-nye-film-kickstarter-video/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
