Double Feature: Ed Wood & Plan 9 from Outer Space
Details
From cult chaos to cinematic infamy, follow the lovable disaster behind the camera in films that prove ambition trumps talent.
ABOUT ED WOOD
With no budget, little technical skill, and an oddball collection of showbiz misfits, Ed Wood (Johnny Depp) refuses to let anything—unfinished scenes, terrible reviews, or hostile studios—derail his dreams of bringing future cult classics like Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 from Outer Space to the big screen. The all-star cast—including Bill Murray, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Patricia Arquette—includes Martin Landau in an Oscar-winning turn as horror legend Bela Lugosi.
ABOUT PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE
In California, an old man (Bela Lugosi) grieves the loss of his wife (Vampira) and on the next day he also dies. However, the space soldier Eros and his mate Tanna use an electric device to resurrect them both and the strong Inspector Clay who was murdered by the couple. Their intention is not to conquer Earth but to stop mankind from developing the powerful bomb "Solaranite" that would threaten the universe. When the population of Hollywood and Washington DC sees flying saucers in the sky, a colonel, a police lieutenant, a commercial pilot, his wife and a policeman try to stop the aliens.
In MH 1 but get tickets in advance. This is an event. Weather permitting we will meet in the lobby and go to the Hamilton to talk.
