As many of you know, Fantastic Fest is fast approaching, kicking off on Thursday with a double feature at the historic Paramount Theatre.

This is the US Premiere of the film, and director Matt Reeves (CLOVERFIELD) and the cast will be with us. Following that at 9pm, we're hosting a Ryan Reynolds and Director Rodrigo Cortés for a premiere of BURIED. This highly anticipated thriller which wowed audiences at Sundance has Ryan Reynolds trapped in a coffin for an entire movie. Cue the nightmares.

On Friday, we start with the US Premiere of STONE at 6pm. This film stars Ed Norton, Robert De Niro and Milla Jovovich. Norton and director John Curran will be here to present the film. Following that, we'll be giving a lifetime achievement award to exploitation and genre film pioneer Roger Corman. The festivities start at 9, and include the US Premiere of the new documentary about Filipino Exploitation films MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED and the World Premiere of Corman's new film, SHARKTOPUS.

Finally, on Saturday at 6pm we're giving our second lifetime achievement award to legendary fight choreographer and director Yuen Woo Ping. As part of the events, we'll be showing the World Premiere of Yuen's new film, TRUE LEGEND, and also showcasing one of his most famous features, the Jackie Chan masterpiece SNAKE IN THE EAGLE'S SHADOW.

By moving from the South Lamar theater to the Paramount, we have expanded the capacity of the gala shows so we can also accommodate a large number of regular badges as well. Regular badge holders are not guaranteed admission to the gala events, but far more will be able to get in than in years past.
