This Week at the Alamo: Join Us in LA LA LAND
By: BWW News Desk Dec. 14, 2016
Travel to the city of stars this week at Alamo Drafthouse with Damien Chazelle's LA LA LAND, opening Thursday night. Set against the backdrop of present-day Los Angeles, this stunning modern musical follows young Hollywood up-and-comers Mia and Seb - the gorgeous pairing of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling - as they fall in love and experience the glorious highs and crushing lows of following your dreams. But don't take our word for it - ask Alamo Drafthouse co-founder Tim League, who said of the film, " After seeing LA LA LAND, I left the cinema as if on some sort of strange new drug: electric, energized and floating on a cloud. This movie is so damn perfect."
In honor of opening weekend, League and the Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn are going all out, with live performances from jazz band Mike Sailors & His City of Stars at the House of Wax. "We decided to pull out the stops with our preshow, food and drink specials, and post-movie jazz performances," said League. "We want our customers to have an experience they will remember forever. LA LA LAND makes me swell with pride that I'm a tiny cog in this crazy, beautiful industry." Performances will be from 7-11pm Thursday - Saturday, so come see LA LA LAND and join us in the city of stars.
Also opening this week is the long-anticipated Star Wars story ROGUE ONE, starring FeliciTy Jones, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, and Ben Mendelsohn. Taking place before the events of A NEW HOPE, ROGUE ONE follows a motley crew of heroes forced to band together to steal the plans for the Death Star from the Empire. Join the Alamo in toasting the Rebel Alliance with special edition Mondo pint glasses, featuring original artwork by Martin Ansin and available for purchase with all ROGUE ONE tickets.
Finally, celebrate the holiday season at the Alamo with a special two-night Movie Party for LOVE ACTUALLY, on December 20 & 21st. Whether you celebrate with LA LA LAND, ROGUE ONE, or LOVE ACTUALLY, remember - to us, you are perfect.
