In past years, the Rolling Roadshow has been to the Field
of Dreams in Iowa with Kevin Costner live in person, Devil's Tower in Wyoming
for a screening of Close Encounters and Alcatraz Island for a screening of
Escape From Alcatraz. 2007 marks the occasion of the third annual Rolling
Roadshow Tour which will cover a route of 9000 miles in 28 days with 11
screenings.
"The Rolling Roadshow Tour is not simply a series of
outdoor movie screenings," says Alamo Drafthouse Cinema founder Tim League. "The
tour is the culmination of everything we have worked towards at the Alamo
Drafthouse Cinema: fantastic Cinema happenings with celebrity guests, wacky
tie-ins, contests, scavenger hunts and the thrill of watching your favorite
movies in the exact locations in which they were filmed."
"I am tremendously excited to be a part of the [Roadshow]
experience," says Chuck Dorman, star of the opening film of the tour, Fandango.
"I think fan support for this event is going to be unusually high so I'm going
to do everything I can to help make it an extremely memorable occasion."
"Tell your boss now that you're feeling like you might be
under the weather July 18 through August 15," says Roadshow co-founder Karrie
League, "because we want to see you out with us on the 2007 Rolling Roadshow
Tour caravan!"
The entire schedule along with details, directions,
associated events and celebrity guests is posted on the Alamo Drafthouse
Cinema's Rolling Roadshow website:

sponsored by Dewar's White Label Scotch. |
