Enzo G. Castellari, Fred Williamson and Bo Svenson at New Beverly TONIGHT!

Tonight only, director Enzo G. Castellari will be appearing at the New Beverly Cinema to introduce his films THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS and BATTLE SQUADRON and do a Q&A during the intermission. As an incredible added bonus, THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS stars Fred Williamson and Bo Svenson will be joining Castellari for the introduction and Q&A!
 
Castellari is one of our favorite directors, having created westerns like KEOMA and KILL THEM ALL AND COME BACK ALONE, crime films like STREET LAW and THE BIG RACKET, giallos like COLD EYES OF FEAR, post-apocalypse hits like 1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS, and the hard-to-see killer shark film GREAT WHITE. He's flown in from Italy to join the New Beverly crowd for an amazing night, and it's also his 70th birthday so be sure to wish him well when you see him.
 
DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT!
 
The event starts at 7:30pm, and admission for the two features plus a reel of rare Castellari trailers is only $7.00. This is a regular New Beverly Cinema event that we're just helping with, so theater discount cards and student/senior discounts also apply!
 
As an added bonus, there will be some amazing prizes and freebies courtesy of Severin Films, who have just released a beautiful 3-disc DVD special edition of THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS. Check them out on our top friends on MySpace, and also at www.severin-films.com.
