Screenwriter of New Denzel Washington Movie Answering Questions in Palm Desert

Moviegoers will get an extra treat at the Cinemas Palme D'Or this weekend, with a chance to ask questions of the "Flight" screenwriter.

The man who penned the screenplay to "Flight" will answer questions about the soon-to-be-released film starring Denzel Washington following a screening Friday at Cinemas Palme D'Or.

The 6:30 p.m. screening featuring screenwriter John Gatins is billed as an "exclusive sneak peak" of the movie, which is scheduled to open on Nov. 2.

Director Robert Zemeckis' first live action film since "Cast Away" in 2000 is about an investigation into a jetliner's emergency landing, which saves the passengers but reveals that the pilot had alcohol in his system during the flight and could go to prison.

On Tuesday, producer Irwin Yablans will answer questions after the 7:30 p.m. screening of his 1978 horror classic "Halloween" starring Jamie Lee Curtis.

Advance tickets for the screenings can be purchased on www.fandango.com or by calling (760) 779-0430. The theater is at 72-840 Highway 111 in Palm Desert.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
