Fantastic Fest! here in Austin - see the first (only?) screening of the full length, 3 part Sin City: Recut & Extended
Fantastic Fest! :: Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Festival: October 6-9, 2005 - Austin, Texas
My friend Paul Alvardo put together Fantastic Fest, a 4 day genre film festival. Some highlights:
-the first (and perhaps only) theatrical showing of SIN CITY: RECUT & EXTENDED. Rodriguez went back and recut each of the three storylines in Sin City into it's own freestanding film, one to be shown each night at the festival.
-John Favreau's ZATHURA
-Werner Herzog's THE WILD BLUE YONDER
-and way, way more!
From the press release:
AUSTIN, TX, 10/3/05 – The first-ever Fantastic Fest will present sneak previews of Jon Favreau’s ZATHURA, Robert Rodriguez & Frank Miller’s SIN CITY: RECUT & EXTENDED, and Werner Herzog’s THE WILD BLUE YONDER; work-in-progress screenings of John Gulager’s FEAST and Eli Roth’s HOSTEL; behind-the-scenes peeks at the making of Richard Linklater’s A SCANNER DARKLY and Andrew Adamson’s THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDOBE; and over a dozen other feature films from a dozen countries, October 6-9, 2005. The complete schedule is now available online at fantasticfest.com. The Opening Night film is ZATHURA, director Jon Favreau’s adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg’s best-selling sci-fi adventure. Favreau, actor Dax Shepard and producer Peter Billingsley will attend the screening and after-party (at the Austin Elks Lodge), which will feature live music, beers from Independence Brewery, appetizers catered by Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar executive chef John Bullington, and a Zathura-inspired room of vintage board games. [NOTE: Please contact Gena Hyde at Moroch for interview requests and red carpet access at ghyde@moroch.com / 713-223-2796.] Fantastic Fest badges and single tickets are on sale now at fantasticfest.com, including a $125 festival badge that guarantees a seat at all times, as well as access to the Opening Night party. A limited number of badges will be sold at a student discount price of $95 starting Tuesday. Also, a limited number of V.I.P. badge packages are still available for $180, which add priority seating, a limited edition t-shirt, and festival poster. In addition, a very limited number of single tickets will be sold online and at the door for individual screenings, subject to seating availability.
Fantastic Fest is a new four-day international genre film festival devoted to sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and animation, presented October 6-9, 2005, by the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema South under the direction of Tim League (“#1 Theater Doing It Right” - Entertainment Weekly). It was conceived by co-chairs Paul Alvarado-Dykstra and Tim McCanlies (The Iron Giant, Secondhand Lions), who comprise a programming team that also includes Harry Knowles (Ain’t It Cool News), Matt Dentler (SXSW Film Festival), and Kier-La Janisse (Cinemuerte Film Festival).
Fantastic Fest is sponsored by Milkshake Media, Ain’t It Cool News, Jackson Walker, Independence Brewery, ME Television, and KOOP 91.7 FM.

Is the same version that is coming out on DVD soon, or is this a longer version?

Shows this version of the DVD coming out:
"A lot of you bought this film last month, but before the year’s end, you’ll have a choice of double-dipping with Sin City: Recut & Extended DVD edition. On 13 December, Dimension will release a 147-minute version of the film along with two 5.1 tracks in DTS and Dolby Digital, three commentaries (directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, Rodriguez and some hack named Tarantino, and a crowd reaction track from an Austin screening). There will be a ton of featurettes, including an in-depth look at Tarantino’s contributions. You can also expect a copy of the original graphic novel to be included. The SRP will be $39.99."

Hey Jonah - yeah, this is pretty much that. And when That Yellow Bastard gets his balls ripped off, I'll be part of that crowd moaning (I was there at the Austin screening when that track was recorded).
