AFI Fest 2024 Oct 23-27

 

AFI Fest gave up on being in November and crams into month of October with even more movies to see. Sadly, it's shifted from giving out free tickets to films (since 2019), now you gotta grab tickets at the average price of $19 unless if it's a red carpet premiere, then it's more.

Still, can't deny getting to see new films with the cast and crew in person is such a LA thing. They have quite the selection this year including:

HERETIC
Starring Hugh Grant, HERETIC follows two young missionaries who are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed, becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse. DIR Scott Beck, Bryan Woods. SCR Scott Beck, Bryan Woods. CAST Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, Chloe East. USA

MUSIC BY JOHN WILLIAMS
MUSIC BY JOHN WILLIAMS is a comprehensive look at the prolific life and career of legendary Oscar®-winning composer John Williams and his indelible impact on popular culture. DIR Laurent Bouzereau. CAST John Williams. USA

WALLACE AND GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL
Wallace and Gromit return in a brand new epic adventure! Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a "smart gnome" that seems to develop a mind of its own. DIR Merlin Crossingham, Nick Park. SCR Nick Park, Mark Burton. CAST Ben Whitehead,Peter Kay,Lauren Patel, Reece Shearsmith, Reece Shearsmith, Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh, Lenny Henry. UK

and the mess that is Robert Zemeckis’ HERE, that's gonna be a turd. He needs to stop. He's already made some of the greatest films ever, but he can't do that anymore.
