Tickets are on sale now for Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui’s acclaimed documentary Super/Man: The Christoper Reeve Story. Via a collaboration between DC Studios and Fathom Events, the film, which DC Studios, HBO Documentary Films and CNN Films acquired out of the Sundance Film Festival this year, the film will debut in select cinemas across the United States on Saturday, Sept. 21. There will be an encore presentation on Sept. 25, Reeve’s birthday.

‘Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story’

The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care — all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family before his death of heart failure in 2004 at the age of 52.

From the directors of McQueen, Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, this film includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve’s colleagues and friends. The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story.

Locally, the film will be screened at AMC Loews Stony Brook 17 in Stony Brook, Island 16 Cinema de Lux in Holtsville, and AMC Huntington Square 12 in East Northport. To order tickets in advance, visit www.fathomevents.com.

‘Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy returns to the big screen

by Press Release - June 6, 2024

0 516

Fathom Events and Warner Bros. invite fans to experience one of cinema’s most iconic fantasy epics as “The Lord Of The Rings” Trilogy returns to select theaters nationwide this month.

Each screening puts the spotlight on the remastered, extended editions of Peter Jackson’s Oscar®-winning adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels, kicking off with The Fellowship Of The Ring on June 8, 15 and 22; The Two Towers on June 9, 16 and 23; and The Return Of The King on June 10, 17 and 24.

In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival—or enslavement—of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

In the second part of the Tolkien trilogy, The Two Towers, Frodo Baggins and the other members of the Fellowship continue on their sacred quest to destroy the One Ring—but on separate paths. Their destinies lie at two towers—Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupt wizard Saruman awaits, and Sauron’s fortress at Barad-dur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor.

In the conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Return of the King, as armies mass for a final battle that will decide the fate of the world—and powerful, ancient forces of Light and Dark compete to determine the outcome—one member of the Fellowship Of The Ring is revealed as the noble heir to the throne of the Kings Of Men. Yet the sole hope for triumph over evil lies with a brave hobbit, Frodo, who, accompanied only by his loyal friend Sam and the hideous, wretched Gollum, ventures deep into the very dark heart of Mordor on his seemingly impossible quest to destroy the Ring of Power.

This landmark franchise won a combined 17 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture honors for The Return Of The King and Best Director for Peter Jackson; and boasts groundbreaking effects, sets, and costumes, fueled by a star-studded ensemble featuring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Sean Astin, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, Hugo Weaving, John Rhys-Davies, and Brad Dourif, among others.

Locally, participating theaters include AMC Loews Stony Brook 17, Island 16: Cinema de Lux in Holtsville; AMC Huntington Square 12 in East Northport, AMC Shore 8 in Huntington, Showcase Cinema de Lux in Farmingdale, and Regal UA in Farmingdale.
