Well, this is fun!
Apparently, 25o theaters across America will be streaming the red carpet premiere of The Giver so that audiences can see the stars of the film arrive in New York for their red carpet experience. Then the audiences can see the film before anyone else. The Hollywood Reporter says:
When the film’s premiere takes place at ZiegfeldTheatre in New York on August 11, select theaters will stream the event, with some of the stars—including Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Katie Holmes,Taylor Swift and Brenton Thwaites—speaking directly to theater audiences. And after the red carpet, the moviegoers in those theaters will get to see the film in its entirety.
“Fathom Events is proud to partner with TWC and Walden Media to give U.S. audiences the first red carpet premiere event of this scale and the opportunity to see The Giver in theaters,” said John Rubey, CEO of Fathom Events. “In addition to seeing the film before its wide theatrical release, our guests will have an exclusive invitation to join the stars for the full red carpet experience.”
Also, they are going to pick one fan who can win a trip to New York City to walk the red carpet with the stars — enter by uploading a photo of yourself reading The Giver to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or Photobucket with the hashtag #TheGiver. Many of you have already been doing that, so keep it up! I’d love to see one of my awesome readers win this thing!
For those who’d like to go ahead and purchase tickets in their hometown, here’s the link! If you go, I want to see pics! (The closest theater to me is Washington state.)
Have fun!
