REVENGE OF THE GREEN DRAGONS Q&A at the NoHo Opening Night

by

In the vein of crime classics like MEAN STREETS and INFERNAL AFFAIRS, REVENGE OF THE GREEN DRAGONS follows two immigrant brothers Sonny (Justin Chon) and Steven (Kevin Wu), who survive the impoverished despair of New York in the 1980s by joining Chinatown gang “The Green Dragons.” The brothers quickly rise up the ranks, drawing the unwanted attention of hard-boiled city cops. After an ill-fated love affair pits Sonny against his own brother, he sets out for revenge against the very gang who made him who he is.

Join actors Leonard Wu and Eugenia Yuan from REVENGE OF THE GREEN DRAGONS at the 7:30 screening Friday night, October 24 at the NoHo 7. They’ll host a Q&A after the movie.

1,000 TIMES GOOD NIGHT Q&A’s at the Royal this Weekend

by

In 1,000 TIMES GOOD NIGHT, Juliette Binoche plays Rebecca, one of the world’s top war photojournalists, capturing dangerous and chilling images in the most dire landscapes, all in an effort to shed light on the real cost of war. But she’s also a wife and mother, leaving behind a husband and two young daughters every time she travels to a new combat zone. After a near-death experience chronicling the ritual of a female suicide bomber, husband Marcus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) levels an ultimatum: give up the dangerous profession or lose her family.
