Stars to descend Oct. 1
Ever felt like watching Jodie Foster as Hannibal Lector greeted Clarice? Or snapping while Rita Moreno hummed with the Sharks and the Jets? You might just get your chance next month.
A plethora of stars will settle on earth with the little people for a one-night-only event at the ArcLight theater in Hollywood on Oct. 1 during “Target Presents AFI Night at the Movies.”
A-list celebs such as Dustin Hoffman, Cameron Diaz, Denzel Washington, Annette Bening, Jim Carrey, Shirley MacLaine, Rita Moreno and Keanu Reeves, will participate in the American Film Institute event. The idea is to bring filmmakers and fans together to celebrate American movies, said AFI chief Bob Gazzale.
“It is a fireworks show of American film,” he said, “and AFI’s honor to celebrate the artists and their contributions to the rich cultural legacy of our nation.”
The complete list of stars and films include:
Sean Connery, “The Man Who Would Be King”
Annette Bening, “American Beauty”
Jim Carrey, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
Cameron Diaz, “There’s Something About Mary”
Jodie Foster, “The Silence of the Lambs”
Dustin Hoffman, “Tootsie”
Shirley MacLaine, “The Apartment”
Steve Martin, “The Jerk”
Rita Moreno, “West Side Story”
Michael Myers, “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery”
Keanu Reeves, “The Matrix”
Denzel Washington, “Glory”
Tickets are $25 and will be available beginning Sept. 17. Totally worth it if only to breathe the same air as Denzel.
