Oscar Season Kickoff: DIGGER at the Drexel Theatre!

Join us for an Oscar Watch film as we get together to see the satirical-dark-comedy, DIGGER! The film is written/directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu and stars Tom Cruise as the world’s most powerful man as he tries to save the world from the disaster he created. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event:

DESCRIPTION: The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he unleashed destroys everything. The film is directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Babel, Biutiful, Birdman, The Revenant) and stars Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg and Jesse Plemons.

BONUS FEATURETTE: Spoiler-free featurette and conversation with the director and (stellar) cast to help get you ready for the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKbBTXgUn28

EARLY BUZZ: In addition to a polarizing response, DIGGER is generating some early award-season buzz, particularly for Tom Cruise. The film is bypassing the traditional Fall Festivals (Toronto, Venice, etc.) and will have its world premiere as the Royal Film Performance in September, just ahead of our Opening Night screening at the Drexel.

PLAN: Details confirmed! Here’s the plan: For DINNER BEFORE THE SHOW, meet at nearby BRASSICA by 5:30pm (I’ll try to be there by 5:20pm or so). Go through the line and we’ll grab larger tables as we go! If you haven’t been there before, it looks like counter service but it’s from the same folks that operate Northstar so you know the food is good! Keep an eye out for us and we’ll keep one out for you! For the MOVIE, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and we’ll meet in the lobby area between 6:40 and 6:50pm! Arrive early (or purchase your ticket before dinner) to be the crowd! And be sure to mention you’re with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts! PARKING is available along Main St or in the lot near Brassica!

Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
