If you were entranced by the movie magic of The Shape of Water, if you got teary-eyed watching Guillermo del Toro's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, or if you live on the West Coast, then you may want to clear your schedule this Friday and reserve a seat at what looks to be one of the most unique screenings of the year.

On Friday, January 12th at 7:00pm PST, ArcLight Cinemas and Fox Searchlight Pictures are teaming up to present a very special behind-the-scenes screening of The Shape of Water with Guillermo del Toro in attendance.

Not only will del Toro discuss the creative process of his latest movie, but he will also reveal production items from the film that have yet to be revealed anywhere else. In addition to listening to del Toro's insights into The Shape of Water, attendees will also receive a drawing of the movie's creature that's not available for purchase anywhere.

While footage from The Shape of Water will be shown at the event, the movie will not be screened in its entirety, but will rather accompany del Toro's discussions as a visual aid, so be sure to see The Shape of Water first if you haven't already. Tickets are priced at $45.00 apiece and you can learn more in the details below and on ArcLight's website.

"ArcLight Cinemas and Fox Searchlight Pictures Present – Behind the Scenes with filmmaker Guillermo del Toro.

Also, as an EXCLUSIVE bonus, those in attendance will receive an original anatomical drawing of the creature from the film, Homo Piscis, printed on a top-secret scroll. These are not available for purchase anywhere! Ticket purchase also includes a free popcorn. Please Note: THE SHAPE OF WATER will not be shown in its entirety, so attendees should have seen the film beforehand in order to fully appreciate the event."
