This month, Michael Mann, Rob Reiner, Kathy Bates, Aaron Sorkin, Keir Dullea, Sean Young, Barry Bostwick, and Eric Braedon will be attending the 16th annual TCM Classic Film Festival.
As a gamer, I’m excited to have a chat with Kathy Bates and Aaron Sorkin before the screenings of their classic dramas, “Misery” (1990) and “The American President” (1995). For the grand finale, I can’t wait to meet Michael Mann for a special presentation of his thrilling masterpiece, “Heat” (1995), which features Val Kilmer in an unforgettable performance. What a fantastic lineup!
The festival takes place April 24-27 in Hollywood.
Additionally, it was revealed on Thursday that speakers discussing their movie-making processes will be Keir Dullea (for the 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey”), Barry Bostwick (for the 1975 classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”), and Rutger Hauer (for the 1982 hit “Blade Runner”).
Danny Huston is scheduled to introduce his father’s 1957 film, “Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison,” while Alexander Payne will ignite excitement for the 1959 classic, “Ben-Hur.” Lastly, Paul Schrader will kick off the screening of the 1963 movie, “Hud.
Additionally, the ever amusing team of sound wizard Ben Burtt and visual mastermind Craig Barron will make a comeback at the event, where they’ll be showcasing the classic film Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970), in collaboration with Braedon.
For the first time since the 1950s, as stated by TCM, movies will be screened in the VistaVision format. This unique film format captures the image horizontally on two standard 35mm film frames rather than running vertically like typical 35mm films.
With Paramount, we’re featuring the films “We’re No Angels” (1955) and “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” (1957) in our VistaVision, renowned for exceptional clarity and Perspecta sound system.
Instead of using special projectors, we’ll opt for high-quality display equipment, and Lol Crawley, fresh from winning the Best Cinematography Oscar for his work in The Brutalist, will graciously join us.
The festival will honor the 90th anniversary of the British Film Institute’s National Archive through showings of classic films, including “The Private Life of Henry VIII” (1933) led by BFI head of conservation Kieron Webb, “To Be or Not to Be” (1942), introduced by Christine Ebersole, “Blithe Spirit” (1945), “Mildred Pierce” (1945) using a rare nitrate release print, “Edge of the City” (1957), and “Jaws” (1975) in Technicolor, with a special guest appearance by Lorraine Gary.
At the Hollywood Roosevelt, Club TCM discussions will feature conversations with Ben Roberts, CEO of BFI, who has been previously announced as an honoree, along with Michael Schultz. For those who enjoy reading obituaries, there will also be engaging talks with celebrity grave researchers Karie Bible and Steven Bingen.
The festival kicks off at the TCL Chinese Theatre, showcasing “The Empire Strikes Back” (1980), with George Lucas present. Additionally, there will be a handprint and footprint ceremony involving Michelle Pfeiffer, along with the bestowal of the Robert Osborne Award upon George Stevens Jr.
For the first time in quite a few years, the El Capitan Theatre will screen movies again. Find out more details about this event here.
