Sat 10th March Night runs from 8pm - late Screening will start around 9pm £4 entry on the door www.roxybarandscreen.com/listings.php?event=200 ........................ Attacking pterodactyls, fighting dinosaurs, lots of guns, a Triceratops rampage, a new lady-love character invented by the producer, a dastardly apeman, and a dinosaur running amok in civilization... Everything one could want in a dinosaur movie! At one million dollars, it was one of the most expensive movies made at that time, and wowed the audiences with its realism. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself (who's book the film is based upon) loved it, even though it wasn't quite what he had written. Before the film was released, Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini showed scenes from it to a meeting of the Society of American Magicians, after telling them that it was documentary footage of real dinosaurs. The astounded audience watched footage of a Triceratops family, an attack by an Allosaurus and some Stegosaurus footage. On the next day, the New York Times ran a front page article about it, saying "(Conan Doyle's) monsters of the ancient world, or of the new world which he has discovered in the ether, were extraordinarily lifelike. If fakes, they were masterpieces". The recently restored movie will be projected on the big screen at Roxy and accompanied by Ollie Teebas live turntable set, that taking in jazz, cinematic and funky styles. The rescore was performed last year at a festival in Prague to great reception and promises to be a great night at the more intimate and loungey Roxy Bar & Screen. Support on the night comes from fellow Ninjatune artist, Jonny Cuba from the group DSP who will be DJing before and after the movie rescore. ........................
