Giant Cronenberg Retrospective Happening In Los Angeles

[Ian Jane Administrator Find all posts View Profile Close Ian Jane]

"From The Fly to Scanners to A History of Violence, cult auteur David Cronenberg has brought some amazing — and sometimes mind-bending — work to Hollywood. Beyond Fest is set to honor the legendary filmmaker's distinct vision this year with “Cronenberg with Cronenberg: A Retrospective of the New Flesh,” an exhaustive, 13-film celebration of his career.

Cronenberg will be in attendance for the genre film festival for three of the special-event screenings at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles. He will be joined by actors, collaborators and guest moderators including Debbie Harry, Geena Davis, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Howard Shore."

This would be awesome to attend. Is Cronenberg retired now?

[Alex K. Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Alex K.]

The man's 75 now. I assume he's done.

I just read he's developing a long form TV series. Anything Cronenberg is worth watching!

Good for him. He's one of the last two filmmakers I need to meet before either of us expire.

Too lazy to start a new thread:

Sony are finally releasing Spider on blu in December.
