Hey everyone-
We've just booked the new film SLEUTH, with Jude Law and Michael Caine to screen at the Lucas Theatre on January 11 at 8 p.m.  We're really excited about this one!  It was in the running for the Golden Lion at the Venice FIlm Festival in September. 
It was directed by Kenneth Branagh and the screenplay was written by Harold Pinter (based on a play).

Hope to see you there!

Here is what people are saying:

Branagh and Greenaway on the shortlist for Venice's prestigious 'Golden Lion' By Arifa Akbar, The Independent. Published: 27 July 2007

Branagh's shortlisted film, which is a remake of the 1972 classic Sleuth, stars Jude Law and Michael Caine, the latter of whom featured in the original film opposite Laurence Olivier. In the film, Caine adopts Olivier's role while Jude Law, who is also co-producing the remake, plays Caine's original character. The film's screenplay was written by Harold Pinter.

By Roger Ebert
"When "Sleuth" premiered last month at the Toronto Film Festival, a great many critics (including me), writing in advance about it sight unseen, described it as a "remake" of the 1972 film based on Anthony Shaffer's stage play. The festival program was more accurate, describing it as "a fascinating transformation." So it is. Do not make the mistake of thinking that if you've seen the earlier play or film, you've got this one covered. Yes, one of the plot gimmicks is the same, but be honest: If you saw the original, you'd already heard about the gimmick, anyway, hadn't you? Only the London opening night audience possibly experienced it as a surprise. The story isn't about the gimmick, anyway. It's about the vicious verbal duel that two men perform one edgy night. Andrew Wyke (Michael Caine), a millionaire thriller novelist, receives a very late visitor: Milo Tindle (Jude Law), who is having an affair with Wyke's wife. The weathered country house exterior of his country estate is belied by the interior, an alarming display of metal, glass, crystal, modernist sculpture and an advanced spy-cam security system. This is not a house to be lived in, but to be shown through."
