Highly anticipated film now slated for Spring 2003 theatrical release

Two more screenings of Bob Gale's new film, Interstate 60, have been announced, with the famed Writer/Director/Producer set to attend both events for audience Q&A.

The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival will first screen the film four times — Thursday, November 7 (7:20 PM), Friday, November 8 (5:00 PM & 9:00 PM), and Sunday, November 10 (9:00 PM).  Bob Gale tells me that he will be in attendance, and expects to do a Q&A with the audiences between the two Friday screenings.  Visit www.fliff.com/films2002/interstate.htm for theater details and ticket information.

As a bonus, an outdoor screening of Back to the Future will also be presented on Friday, November 15 at 7:00 PM.  Details on this event can be found at www.fliff.com/listings/moonlight.htm.

The 11th Annual St. Louis International Film Festival will present an encore screening of the film on Saturday, November 16 at 1:00 PM, with Gale in attendance as well.  As you may remember, the festival screened the film earlier this year at their Second Annual St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase on July 27 (BT; 7/30).  Further details are posted at www.sliff.org/2002/02_fest/02sched.html.

IDP, the film's distributor, now expects to release Interstate 60 next Spring when their advertising campaign is firmly in place.  A specific release date has yet to be determined.  Stay tuned for further details. [Thanks to 'DocBosch' for his contribution to this story]
