As part of The Edina Theatre’s upcoming 75th anniversary, the Minnesota filmed Into Temptation starring Jeremy Sisto and Kristin Chenoweth will have it Minnesota premiere on Thursday, August 27th. Best news of all, it will be a free screening. Details are not quite released, but within the next several days I should know just how people can get tickets for this premiere.
Following the Thursday premiere, Into Temptation will then have a week long run at the Lagoon Theatre, with director/writer Patrick Coyle being present for a Q&A after the Monday, August 31st screening.
And in yet another one of those odd twists of fate that somehow only happen on this blog, I met Jeremy Sisto when he was in town filming this. He stopped in my theatre to watch Then She Found Me, as he was friends with Helen Hunt and was offered the role of Ben Green in the film, which he turned down due to a previous commitment. The role then went to Matthew Broderick. We talked for a little bit before the film and some more once the film ended. He was incredibly nice and seemed like a very decent guy.
Interesting side note, Jeremy Sisto is the only Hollywood celebrity that I have met that I have seen naked, which is thanks to his fantastic role as Billy Chenowith in the outstanding series Six Feet Under. I did not tell him this, because that would have been awkward. Much like this entire paragraph.
This is awesome. Thanks for the heads up!
I feel awkward just having read that last paragraph.
Yes, a free screening of this sounds much better than a non-free screening. Hope I can get in…
