Sword of the Stranger US Debut

by Matt Gamble on Jan.11, 2009, under Previews, Site Announcement, Trailers

The often maligned Block E Theater in downtown Minneapolis has recently announced it will be hosting the US debut of the acclaimed anime film Sword of the Stranger on February 5th for one night only. From what I know this is a simulcast event through the various Kerasota Theatres around the country. Tickets will be $12.50 which includes admission to the film as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the film and never-before-seen interviews with the voice actors.

Hopefully this event draws well as Block E has yet to have proven to be a very successful idea. More unique events like this might help change that public perception.

Hmm, same night as The Talkies/Hedwig/John Cameron Mitchell over at the Heights. I can’t make either, but this is an interesting night of offerings for Twin Citians.

That it is. Not really interested in Hedwig all that much, though I am intrigued at the format being used. It could make for a very fun night for those who go.
