DGA Los Angeles Theater Re-Opening Celebration Schedule Please join us on Saturday, September 21 to celebrate the Grand Re-Opening of the DGA Los Angeles Theater One with the following screeenings: 7:00 pm Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) As Based on Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, in 1982, Director Ridley Scott brought us a bleak, dystopian future with Blade Runner. We are pleased to present Scott's definitive final cut of Blade Runner, restored and remastered from original elements, scanned at 4K resolution and presented in Dolby Atmos, the ultimate sound experience. Starring: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos Running Time: 117 minutes - Print Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures With an introduction by Director Jon Favreau, who personally selected Blade Runner for presentation, and will conduct a Q&A with Director Ridley Scott. 3:00 pm James Cameron's Avatar (2009) On the lush alien world of Pandora live the Na'vi, beings who appear primitive but are highly evolved. Because the planet's environment is poisonous, human/Na'vi hybrids, called avatars, must link to human minds to allow for free movement on Pandora. Jake Sully, a paralyzed former Marine, becomes mobile again through one such avatar and falls in love with a Na'vi woman. As a bond with her grows, he is drawn into a battle for the survival of her world. Avatar will be presented in 3D. Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang Running Time: 162 minutes - Print Courtesy of 20th Century Fox With an introduction by Director Michael Mann, who personally selected Avatar for presentation. 12:00 pm Penny Marshall's A League of Their Own (1992) As America's stock of athletic young men is depleted during World War II, a professional all-female baseball league springs up in the Midwest, funded by publicity-hungry candy maker Walter Harvey. Competitive sisters Dottie Hinson and Kit Keller spar with each other, scout Ernie Capadino and grumpy has-been coach Jimmy Dugan on their way to fame. Starring: Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell Running Time: 128 minutes - Print Courtesy of Sony Pictures With an introduction by Director Betty Thomas, who personally selected A League of Their Own for presentation.
