The gang behind the awesome Movies.ie are bringing a little bit of Comic Con to Dublin the form of the upcoming Movie Fest. If you’re a film buff, you should probably start getting excited right about now. If you’re everybody else, you should just be glad that people are still working to make cool new things happen despite our pervading national gloom. High five to the innovators.
Happening at Cineworld next weekend (August 13th /14th) “The event will showcase, for the general public, exclusive footage from upcoming Hollywood blockbusters along with previews of Hollywood films not due for release until late 2011. Day tickets are available for purchase for the event, and each day will include two high-profile feature film previews along with presentations from all major Hollywood studios. These presentations will feature a huge selection of extensive never-before-seen footage and trailers from some of the most highly anticipated films of 2011 and 2012.”
Sounds good?
We think so.
Advance screenings include Fright Night, The Change Up, 30 Minutes or Less and Cowboys & Aliens and the organisers are promising that there are also some surprises in store.
Trailer footage includes Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Haywire, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, Tower Heist, The Adventures of TinTin, The Amazing Spider-Man, and a five minute clip from the new Total Recall. Team with that the fact that there’s going to goody bags for movie goers and a general atmosphere of movie geek awesomeness over the whole weekend and you’ll probably be feeling that you want to check out the full programme, which is here: www.movies.ie/fest
Good luck to the inaugural Movie Fest!
Sounds awesome!
