More than 430 theaters around the country will participate in the event, which will include a newly restored version. It will be introduced by a bonus featurette that looks back at the movie that helped define the genre of teen films. Fans will hear personal insights from cast members Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Anthony Michael Hall and John Kapelos about the John Hughes-directed project.
“Both long-time fans and new audiences now have the chance to see this iconic film return to its original home of the big screen,” said John Rubey, chief executive officer of Fathom Events, which is sponsoring the showing along with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and BY Experience. “Viewers also have the exclusive opportunity to get the inside scoop straight from the film’s well-known and cherished cast.”
