Affair: Screening Of The Rewrite and Q&A with Hugh Grant
When: Wednesday, Feb 11, 2015 @ 7:15 PM
Hot Spot: Kaufmann Music Hall, Lexington Avenue at 92nd St,
Deets: Actor Hugh Grant will be interviewed by moderator Annette Insdorf after a preview of The Rewrite (Marc Lawrence, 2015, 106 minutes). He will be joined onstage by writer-director Marc Lawrence (with whom he previously collaborated on Two Weeks Notice, Music and Lyrics and Did You Hear About the Morgans?).
Twenty years ago, Hugh Grant rose to international stardom with Four Weddings and a Funeral, earning a Best Actor Golden Globe Award. His British charm was well utilized in such films as Nine Months, Sense and Sensibility, Notting Hill, Love Actually, Bridget Jones's Diaryand About a Boy.
The Rewrite is a smart contemporary comedy about a once-successful Hollywood screenwriter who, in desperation, accepts a visiting professorship at an upstate college. Politically incorrect and clueless about how to teach, he gets into scrapes with colleagues played by seasoned players like Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons. More important, he learns a lot from an older student, beautifully played by Marisa Tomei, including romance.
Who You May Spot: Hugh Grants, Marc Lawrence
