PIRATE RADIO is the newest ensemble comedy from filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose “pirate radio” captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down.

Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up. The Radio Rock roster, overseen by unflappable station owner (and ship’s captain) Quentin (Bill Nighy), includes a risk-prone American known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman); mystic deejay royalty Gavin (Rhys Ifans); slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost); idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus (Rhys Darby); the rarely seen Bob (Ralph Brown); the aptly named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke); lovelorn Simon (Chris O’Dowd); ladies’ magnet Mark (Tom Wisdom); shy Harold (Ike Hamilton); reporter News John (Will Adamsdale); and lesbian ship’s cook Felicity (Katherine Parkinson). One night in 1966, Quentin’s teenaged godson Carl (Tom Sturridge) comes aboard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfilled during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rock’s prettiest fans, he also hopes to find out more about his long-absent father…

As the ship sails on and rocks out, what Carl and the freewheeling, free-loving Radio Rock gang don’t know is that back in London, landlocked government minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh) has embarked on a vehement crusade to silence their signal – permanently. To stay afloat and keep their devoted audience plugged in, the crew will have to band together and trust in the power of music like never before.

PIRATE RADIO will open nationwide on Friday, November 13th.
It is rated R with a running time of approximately 120 minutes.

We've got 140 screener tickets to TRANSYLMANIA on Wednesday, December 2nd at 6:30pm at AMC Georgetown (Foggy Bottom). You've got to get there no later than 6:30pm (6:00pm would be better) in order to get in to see the movie (which starts at 7:30pm). Entry isn't guaranteed, so get there, hop in line, and someone with a NAKID shirt will be along shortly to give you a screener ticket! Winter NAKIDs only are allowed to this event.

If you RSVP Yes and don't show, you will no longer be allowed at any NAKID event for a year.

In “Transylmania,” a motley group of college students embarks on the wildest, sexiest, most outrageous semester abroad ever at Razvan University. Located deep in the heart of the “cursed land” of Transylvania in a centuries-old castle, Razvan isn’t your typical institution of higher learning – and the black leather-clad professors, three-foot-tall dean, instruction in crucifix-wielding, and topless vampiresses lurking in dark corners are just the start. It seems Castle Razvan was home to a band of vampires led by the feared Vampire King Radu during the dark ages.
Sure, classes like Garlic Growing 101, Advanced Wooden Stake Whittling and Crossbow for Dummies gave our gang pause – but the extracurricular activities at Razvan rock, and these students are fitting right in. Rusty is preparing to meet his oversexed Romanian Internet girlfriend, Draguta, and stoners Pete and Wang are successfully “avoiding stress” and searching for the ultimate high with sexy fellow student Danni – who’s still trying to get her identical twin sister Lia to loosen up a little. Newmar and Lynne are spicing up their love life, and Cliff is embarking on a new vocation as a vampire slayer – if he doesn’t slay himself first.
But when Newmar gives Lynne an ancient music box and she mistakenly unleashes a centuries-old curse, these students find themselves locked in an epic battle between the unwitting and the undead. Radu – who bears an uncanny resemblance to Rusty – has a score to settle. Meanwhile, Draguta’s father has concocted a dastardly plan to create an attractive new body for his hunchbacked daughter in a secret lab, and he’s got his eye on Lia.
