Fathom Events and TCM to Bring ALIEN and THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION Back to Theaters

With this year marking the 40th anniversary of Ridley Scott's Alien and the 25th anniversary of Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shawshank Redemption, Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies are teaming up to celebrate in style and bring both films back to theaters:

Press Release: DENVER – July 23, 2019 – After a spectacular first six months of 2019, Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will bring seven more classic films to movie theaters in the second half of the year, beginning with Barbra Streisand starring in Gene Kelly’s lavish adaptation of Hello, Dolly!, and ending with a newly announced presentation of the MGM musical classic Meet Me in St. Louis.

For its 50th anniversary, Hello, Dolly! is back where she belongs: on the big screen, playing Sunday, August 11, and Wednesday, August 14. Winner of three Academy Awards®, Hello, Dolly! kicks off the second half of 2019’s TCM Big Screen Classics series, which is in the midst of its biggest and most popular year yet.

Young audiences recently discovered Hello, Dolly! as the favorite film of the title character in Disney-Pixar’s “Wall-E.” Now fans of all ages can experience the irrepressible Dolly Levi in this fabled film that also stars Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Marianne McAndrew, E.J. Peaker, Danny Lockin and Tommy Tune, and features more than a dozen memorable songs by Jerry Herman.

The nostalgic Americana of Hello, Dolly! is echoed in the film that will bring 2019’s TCM Big Screen Classics series to a close – director Vincente Minnelli’s Meet Me in St. Louis, starring Judy Garland, Margaret O’Brien, Mary Astor and Tom Drake. Among the many unforgettable songs in the film, which celebrates its 75th anniversary, is the essential holiday classic “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Meet Me in St. Louis will play December 8 and 11.
