TEASING HIS UPCOMING OLIVER STONE BOOK SUNDAY & MONDAY, w/STONE ON-HAND FOR 2 FILMS SUNDAY
Matt Zoller Seitz has been working on a book about Oliver Stone. The Oliver Stone Experience will be in the spirit of the author's recent books about Wes Anderson. Today and tomorrow, Zoller Seitz will tease the book at the Alamo Drafthouse in Denver, presenting, along with Stone himself, two of the director's films on Sunday (today), and, without Stone, Brian De Palma's Scarface (which was written by Stone) on Monday night with a "Cuban Feast" at 7:30pm. The two Sunday films, with Stone accompanying the author, are Natural Born Killers (already sold out), and U-Turn.In April 2014, I had the pleasure of seeing Stone present his film Born On The Fourth Of July from a 35mm print at Ebertfest, followed by a discussion on stage with Zoller Seitz. At that time, the book had just been announced, and I spoke with Seitz afterward, who told me he was really excited about the design ideas for it, which would be necessarily different than that of his Wes Anderson book-- a bit more sprawling, to match the sheer propulsive drive of Stone's ideas and experiences. In any case, the rapport between Stone and Seitz seemed pretty tight, and I'm looking forward to what sounds like a fresh, invigorative journey through the films of Oliver Stone.
