Did you miss "The Princess Bride" with star Cary Elwes when the pair planned to roll into town, then postponed their roll into town, but then finally rolled into town in 2016? Good news: The two are returning to Milwaukee, as "The Princess Bride: An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes" will make an encore trip to the Riverside Theatre on Saturday, Jan. 18.
As before, the night will begin with a screening of the beloved, quote-filled 1987 Rob Reiner fantasy classic, after which Elwes will take the stage for a moderated discussion featuring behind-the-scenes stories, secrets from the production and more. (Hopefully that "more" includes answering my questions about the fate of Dr. Jonas Miller in "Twister.")
Tickets for the mawwage of screening and Q&A will go on sale starting on Friday, Nov. 15 at noon, with a limited number of VIP packages – including a meet-and-greet with Elwes and a signed copy of his book, "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride" – also available. For more information on the show, visit the Pabst Theater Group's website.
And as with before, snag your tickets fast because missing this special event yet again would be most ... well, you know.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
