Every year, the Alamo Drafthouse’s Rolling Roadshow gets better. Apart from imagination and creativity that goes into dreaming up what movies to show and where, the amazing posters that are produced for the screenings are simply works of art. Check out what’s happening at the Field of Dreams screening:
“If you build it they will come”
Watch the mysteriously captivating baseball classic “Field of Dreams” on the actual Field of Dreams alongside stars Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones.
Before the screening, baseball players, families and movie fans alike can come out early to participate in the Shoeless Joe Jackson Run the Bases Tournament. At 7:00, the “Ghost Players” will emerge from the corn field, “have a catch,” meet the fans and answer questions about the making of Field of Dreams.
And check out The Shining screening…if you dare:
Preeminent horror author Stephen King wrote half of the novel “The Shining” while vacationing in room 217 of the Stanley Hotel. In addition to its regular guests, this Rocky Mountain landmark hotel is said to play host to a number of supernatural visitors. The screening will take place on the grounds of the Stanley Hotel.
In honor of the Stanley Hotel’s place in the horror writing genre, Netflix will be accepting entrants in a horror story writing contest. Entrants will compete to write a short horror story in 10 minutes. Before contestants start writing, we will reveal an opening line of dialogue, an object to be incorporated and a charater’s name. Contestants have 10 minutes to write a short “Stephen King inspired” horror story. Every entrant gets to read their stories.
Other showings include The Poseidon Adventure…on a boat! Escape from Alcatraz…on Alcatraz! Ferris Buellers Day Off with an 80’s Prom after! And Raising Arizona, where the audience can take part in the ‘Nathan Jr. Scavenger Hunt’. The prize? A vintage Airstream trailer, similar to the one H.I. and Ed shared in the movie. Genius I tells ye!
