Bone Tomahawk Premières At Fantastic Fest Tomorrow

fantastic_fest_2015_poster_1013x1500The day is nearly upon us…

Kurt Russell, Matthew Fox, Patrick Wilson and Richard Jenkins are all expected to be in Austin, Texas, tomorrow night (1st Oct) for the world première of Bone Tomahawk.

The horror western, written and directed by S. Craig Zahler, will be one of the last screenings on the closing night of this year’s running of the Fantastic Fest event.  Those four gentlemen, all stars of the film, will apparently be attending the 7:15pm screening.  As far as we’re aware Kathryn, sadly, won’t.

Various outlets erroneously have Bone Tomahawk down as being first shown last Friday (25th).  Presumably they have just taken the opening day of Fantastic Fest and not looked further into it.  Some people!

Details about Fantastic Fest can be found on the official website here.  Not sure you’ll be able get tickets at this late stage though.

Bone Tomahawk is set for a general release in the USA on October 23rd.  This may include VOD services, it is not clear at the moment.

There’s going to be a few of these types of posts of the next couple of weeks so hang on to your hats!

Bone Tomahawk Lands In Charlotte

charlotte_film_festival_1818x1232With each newly announced screening of Bone Tomahawk the beginning of October gets more and more crowded.

Premièring on the closing night of Fantastic Fest on the 1st, on the 4th it’s Popcorn Fest, the 6th sees it at Beyond Fest, before a few days off to make the trip to London for the BFI Film Fest on the 10th, and several screenings in Spain at the Sitges International Film Fest shortly after.  It’s a fest of fests!

You’d think that’s enough but oh no, not for Bone Tomahawk.

Some how the 7th running of the Charlotte Film Festival has snuck in and grabbed second place with a screening on Saturday the 3rd of October.  It’s another last-on-the-schedule, closing night showing.  The good folks of Charlotte, North Carolina, get a nice sensible hour starting time of 8pm.  That’s civilised.

The event takes place from this Friday (25th Sept) and continues until Bone Tomahawk finishes it off the Saturday a week later.  The festival is made up of a mix of both narrative and documentary films in both feature and short forms.

Full details of the cinema location and ticket prices are on the official website.

Bone Tomahawk Sited At Sitges

sitges_film_fest_2480x3508The Sitges International Film Festival in Spain has published their schedule of screenings for the upcoming event.

Horror western Bone Tomahawk will be shown three times over the course of three days in the middle of the 10-day long festival held in the town of Sitges, near Barcelona.  I previously reported the film appearing at the festival here.

The specifics are:

  • Monday, 12th of October at 1am (so technically the 13th) at the new ‘Tramuntana’ cinema in the Hotel Melia complex.
  • Tuesday, 13th of October at 23:30 at the huge near-1,400 seat capacity ‘Auditori’ cinema, also within the facilities of the Hotel Melia.
  • Wednesday, 14th of October at 00:45 (i.e. the 15th) at the ‘Cine El Retiro’ in the centre of Sitges town.

More details and tickets are available on the official website.

Will any of our Spanish readers be able to attend?

Bone Tomahawk Sets Its Sights On Sitges

sitges_film_fest_2480x3508We can’t fault Bone Tomahawk for cramming them in.

So far the S. Craig Zahler’s horror western has amassed fives showings lined up across the US and northern Europe already.

Now we switch to southern Europe for the Sitges International Film Festival, held in the town of Sitges, not far from Barcelona in Spain.

You may not have heard of Sitges or its film festival but it’s certainly heard of you… wait… that can’t be right :-)

The festival has been running since 1967. Therefore this will be the 48th edition, and as such it is thought of as one of the most significant that focuses on the horror and fantasy film genres.

This year the Sitges International Film Festival is running from the 9th to the 18th of October.  Bone Tomahawk has been announced as one of many films that will be screened.  At the time of posting the schedule has not been published yet though.  What has been said is the Bone Tomahawk will be part of the ‘Official Fantàstic Competition’ so an award could be in the offing.

As per usual the full details can be found HERE on the official website.

Bone Tomahawk UK Release Date?

poster_001_1014x1500The horror western Bone Tomahawk, in which Kathryn has a small role, is due for release in the US on October 23rd.  That’s three weeks after it’s première at the Fantastic Fest event on the first of the month.

poster_002_1500x2215As reported last week, on this side of ‘the pond’, the film will be first shown at a BFI event on the 10th.

However, it is looking like the general cinema going audience will have to wait longer than a month to see Kurt Russell (Death Proof), Matthew Fox (Party Of Five), Lili Simmons (Banshee), Patrick Wilson (A Gifted Man), David Arquette (Scream), Sean Young (No Way Out), Richard Jenkins (Burn After Reading) etc. battling “cannibalistic cave dwellers”.

According to information I’ve found the likely release date for those of us in the UK is going to be the 11th of December.  Surprisingly late.

As an aside, I’ve added a new, even bigger version of the 2nd poster for Bone Tomahawk to the Gallery.
