"COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT, SUMMER 2008"
BLOCKBUSTER PROGRAM: BRING YOUR REEL FRIENDS
WASHINGTON, D.C.: It's time to roll out the BIG summer movies – BIG action, BIG comedy, BIG special effects, BIG box office. Check out what's about to take off at the Washington, D.C. Film Society's "COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT, Summer 2008" – and bring your reel friends. Get an early preview of summer's biggest blockbusters while viewing trailers amongst fellow film fans. It all starts at 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 14, 2008, at Landmark's E Street Cinema (E Street between 10th & 11th St, N.W.).
Once again, you'll get to be the judge of the film studios' marketing skills by joining local film critics, Joe Barber and Bill Henry, in a dissection and no-holds-barred give and take of each trailer. PLUS, attendees get to vote on the films they're most looking forward to (or not) and we pass this information on to the studios. Summertime typically is the season when the top moneymakers are unleashed. Will this year's selections live up to the hype? You decide if the buzz is believable.
Long-awaited sequels, comic book super heroes, and TV shows readied for the big screen join franchises-in-waiting. Here's what you might see. Move over Iron Man, Christian Bale reprises his role as Batman in The Dark Knight, while Edward Norton debuts as The Incredible Hulk. X-Files 2, Get Smart, and Sex and the City join Speed Racer in the leap from TV. Laughter abounds (we hope) with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in Step Brothers and in Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. For the kid in all of us, there's the second installment, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, sure-bet Pixar's Wall-E, and Kung Fu Panda. Watch Will Smith's traditional 4th of July opening with Hancock. For more kick-butt action, Director Steven Spielberg finally reteams with Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie star as law-of-physics-bending assassins in Wanted, and Director Guillermo del Toro returns with Hellboy II.
The evening, bargain priced at $8, includes lots of movie promotional items, movie posters, and raffles of movie tickets and DVDs. This twice-annual event is like no other. For more information and an update on trailers to be shown at "COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT" visit www.dcfilmsociety.org or email info@dcfilmsociety.org.
The Washington, D.C. Film Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to an appreciation of quality mainstream, international, and independent films. Annual membership runs from June 1 through May 31 and includes free sneak previews and other events throughout the year. All proceeds from activities support the work of the Film Society and its parent organization, Filmfest DC, the Washington, D.C. International Film Festival.
