Picnic (6:30) + Cold Storage (7:45)
Details
Please join me for a BYO picnic dinner + advance screening of Cold Storage at ECU Joondalup Pines outdoor cinema. Tickets are $14 and available here (enter the code KLEEN26 for a 2-for-1 discount if you're bringing a friend). Seating is BYO or you can add bean bag lounge hire to your ticket for $8.
We'll meet at the venue from 6:30pm for a BYO dinner - I will be there early to grab a spot. You can bring your own food, get a hot pie or sausage roll, or you can place a pizza order - but they don't turn up until after 7pm. They also have a candy bar with snacks and coffee.
More information about the venue and parking can be found here (under "How do I get to ECU Joondalup Pines?").
David Koepp, one of Hollywood's most successful writers, adapted the screenplay from his own novel. His screenplays include Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man, Calito's Way, and Death Becomes Her.
Teacake (Joe Keery) and Naomi (Georgina Campbell), two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus originating from Skylab escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious and rapidly mutating microorganism multiplies and unleashes its brain-controlling, body-bursting terrors on the facility's inhabitants! With time running out, it's down to Teacake and Naomi, with the help of a grizzled retired bioterror operative (Liam Neeson), to contain the merciless menace and prevent the explosive extinction of Mankind itself.
"With a blackly comical sensibility, this outbreak thriller is livened up by its wide range of conflicted characters, snappy dialog and outrageous freak-out situations." -- Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall.
"Offering up ghastly gore and hilarious dark comedy, "Cold Storage" plays out exactly like it says on the box providing the kind of easy entertainment that makes for a pleasurable midnight creature feature even in the middle of the day." -- Douglas Davidson, Elements of Madness.
"A brisk, funny, entertaining little B-movie with A-List talent... Cold Storage is a splattery sci-fi comedy in a Shaun of the Dead vibe, the chance to see beloved stars getting deeply silly with it is the icing on this particular cake." -- Eddie Harrison, film-authority .com.
Anyone and everyone are welcome - so don't be shy if you haven't met any of us before. We all came to Meetup to meet new people! And if you've got any questions please leave a comment or feel free to shoot me a message. Please also remember to keep your RSVP up to date.
