| Crystal City Movie Festival |
After much anticipation and
excitement, the Crystal City Business Improvement District announced last night
that SUPERHEROES will be the theme of the 2009 Crystal Screen Outdoor Summer
Film Festival. Nearing the close of this year’s From Crystal City with Love,
the area's only free outdoor film festival featuring all 21 official James Bond
movies, much buzz had been generated about what films would be featured next
summer. Currently running a season extension of four whacky 007 Spoofs, last
night’s crowd cheered upon learning the SUPERHEROES plan.
The Third
Annual Crystal Screen, showcasing 21-weeks of heroes, villains, and super
powers, will kick-off in early May with the Spiderman trilogy followed by movies
featuring the Hulk, Superman, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, culminating with
all of the Batman movies, including this summer’s blockbuster hit,
Batman: The Dark Knight.
“This summer’s series
was a smashing success with large crowds, great partnerships, a bigger screen,
an even more powerful sound system, and a fun four-week extension,” said Angela
Fox, President/CEO of the Crystal City BID. “Naturally, we had to follow this
year’s spy extravaganza with a super-powered response, and Crystal
Screen: Superheroes is sure to be a hit for all ages!”
The
announcement was made at the showing of the 1967 version of Casino
Royale, the first of four movies that make up the 2008 Crystal
Screen extension featuring James Bond spoof movies. All three movies in the
Austin Powers Series – Austin Powers: International Man of
Mystery, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged
Me, and Austin Powers in Goldmember
– are also
included.
Crystal Screen regularly attracts hundreds of visitors
throughout the metropolitan area. The festival is shown in one of Crystal
City’s many green spaces, owned, managed, and donated for the festival by
Vornado/Charles E. Smith. Convenient to Metro and Crystal City’s many
restaurants, Crystal Screen offers the perfect opportunity for a leisurely and
affordable night out for dinner and a movie – whether a take-out picnic on the
grass or a traditional sit-down dinner.
