Beyond Fest Hosting FREE ‘The Meg-a-Thon’ Event in Hollywood
Beyond Fest announced today The Meg-a-thon, a FREE night of mega-jawed cinema celebrating the biggest, baddest, and bloodiest sharks ever committed to the big screen, featuring a special sneak preview of Warner Bros. Pictures and Gravity Pictures’ The Meg. The Meg-a-thon devours Hollywood’s famed Egyptian Theatre on Saturday, August 4th.
The sneak preview of Jon Turteltaub’s The Meg will thrill audiences in eye-popping digital 3-D and will be joined by two of the most gleefully outrageous shark films ever committed to film: Joe Alves thoroughly ridiculous and wildly inventive Jaws 3-D, and Renny Harlin’s shark-science-gone-amock Deep Blue Sea. In keeping with the larger-than-life scale of the event, Jaws 3-D will be presented in ultra-rare 35mm over-under 3-D.
Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures and Gravity Pictures, the MEG-A-THON is completely free to attend and guests can RSVP by submitting their full name at this link and entering the password: ACJAWDBS23. Each RSVP will include a single plus one guest totaling two (2) tickets.
IMPORTANT: Entry is not guaranteed and admittance will be on a first come, first served basis; all guests must be in attendance to enter. The line will begin at 5:30 PM PDT, doors open at 6:30 PM and the event will begin at 7:30 PM.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
