NEON AND ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA IN BROOKLYN PARTNER FOR THE ONE NIGHT EVENT ON FRIDAY, JULY 12
For every teenager’s dream to see an R-rated film without their parents, they will now get the chance to do so. NEON announced today that, in partnership with the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Brooklyn, they will be giving people under the age of 17 the opportunity to ditch their guardians for one night on Friday, July 12th, and see the long awaited theatrical release of Osgood Perkins’ LONGLEGS. Parents can rest easy knowing their precious child will be chaperoned by bloody-faced nuns.
In order to attend the parentless screening, teens will need to RSVP at Longlegs@neonrated.com, and provide a signed permission slip to see the film unaccompanied by their guardian.
LONGLEGS, which has been called one of the “scariest films of the year,” was written and directed by Perkins (THE MONKEY, THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER), and stars Maika Monroe (IT FOLLOWS, THEY FOLLOW), Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, and Nicolas Cage.
In pursuit of a serial killer, an FBI agent uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.
The LONGLEGS campaign has been garnering intrigue since the first cryptic teasers were launched earlier this year. The campaign continued to build with multiple mysterious teaser trailers, posters and cipher messages in local newspapers. At the end of June, a billboard popped up in Los Angeles with a phone number, that, when dialed, the caller hears an unnerving message from Longlegs, played by Nicolas Cage. The phone number received over 250,000 calls across the globe in the first 48 hours of being posted.
LONGLEGS opens nationwide on July 12th and is currently 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
