Also, I want to respond to the comment above about there not being any decent 70 mm prints of Titanic. This is definitely false. We did a run-through of the print of Titanic that we will be screening, and it looks really good.
James Cameron, Bill Paxton, Bernard Fox, and Karen Zumsteg will not be able to attend any of the screenings on Sunday. However, I can confirm that director Joe Dante, star Zach Galligan, and actor William Schallert will all be in attendance for the 4 pm Sunday screening of Gremlins. Also, as mentioned above, Top Gun replaced Raiders of the Lost Ark on the schedule. Additionally, there will be a short selection of 70 mm trailers preceding the screening of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
In addition to the 70 mm series linked by Jonesy above, we also have a series starting Dec. 12th featuring 7 foreign films, one from each decade of the 70 year history of Laemmle Theatres.
Box office proceeds from this series will be donated to the Los Angeles Conservancy (who have done fabulous work in preserving a number of classic theatres) as well as the Library Foundation of Los Angeles.
It looks to be a fun December at Laemmle’s Royal, what with the foreign film series running from Dec. 12th – 18th and the 70 mm series running from Dec. 19th – 23rd.
