The Paramount will be showing A Nightmare On Elm Street this evening @ 7 & 9PM, tickets are only $6.
In other Depp related news, it appears that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was recently announced, and is due to be released in 2011. Sweet Jebus, more pirates nonsense. Let’s just make all the crew immortal demigods and call it a day.
The 22nd Virginia Film Festival guests have been announced, and our list of invites includes Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) and Alan Ball, creator of hit sex+vampires show, Trueblood. John Waters will be the headliner, displaying two of his films at Newcomb Hall Theater November 6th. Waters is the cult writer/director behind Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, Cry-Baby, and the writer for just announced Hairspray 2 – Team Aquanet (j/k). The multi talented Waters was once described by William S. Burroughs as “the Pope of Trash and his taste in tacky is unexcelled”, which fits perfectly with our theme this year of Funny Business.
Broderick will be screening Wonderful World, a melancholy romp through pessimism and chess, and also Election, which marks it’s ten year anniversary. Additionally, American Beauty will be shown, and writer Ball will be on hand afterwards to discuss his HBO creations. Classic courtroom drama (and excellent Al Pacino screaming exhibition) …And Justice For All, will also be shown by David Edelstein, a noted film critic.
Tickets go on sale for the various performances October 9th, and the event begins November 5th. [Photo Credits]
