New Titles Announced for the TCM Classic Film Festival
Late last week Turner Classic Movies announced a number of additional films and guests for the upcoming TCM Classic Film Festival.The festival will take place in Hollywood from April 18th through the 21st.
The latest additions to the festival lineup include:
*JEOPARDY! host Ken Jennings will introduce the U.S. premiere of a restored print of Powell and Pressburger's THE SMALL BACK ROOM (1949).
*Alexander Payne will introduce the previously announced restoration of THE SEARCHERS (1954).
*Steven Spielberg will introduce a "director's cut" of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977).
*A LITTLE ROMANCE (1979) will feature an interview with star Diane Lane.
*Mel Brooks will introduce SPACEBALLS (1987).
*Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins will appear at THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994).
*David Fincher will introduce a restoration of SE7EN (1995).
*I also learned this week that the Chinese Theatre will be equipped to show the opening night screening of PULP FICTION (1994) in 35mm.
The festival usually shows around 80 films, so we now know roughly half of the titles which will be on the festival schedule.
The full schedule, including all titles, dates, times, and locations, is typically released around three weeks ahead of the festival, so we will probably have the final schedule sometime in the next few days.
