TONIGHT'S DOGS!

Just a reminder that tonight, we'll be back at Jason Reitman's LACMA Live Read event, selling the newest poster from the series from artist Matt Owen. If you don't know, Jason has decided to cast an all-black group of actors to read the shooting script of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and, just like his past readings, it's going to be one for the ages.

The prints are 16x20 inches, limited and numbered in an edition of 100, and $30.

We will be there are 6:15, selling the posters before and after. This event is sold out, but a stand-by line will start at 6 PM. You DO NOT have to have a ticket to purchase one of the prints, so stop by and say hello.

ANOTHER LACMA READ and MATT OWEN'S GENIUS

Curating the posters for film director Jason Reitman's LACMA Live Read series here in Los Angeles has easily been one of the coolest things we've done here at G1988. Watching Paul Rudd read the dialogue of Westley from Princess Bride or Kate Hudson reprise the role her mother originated in Shampoo has been truly insane. For each event, Jason asked us to create the night's poster, and we've jumped at the chance, employing artist Matt Owen for the job.

When Jason told us the concept for the his second to last reading, taking place next week at LACMA (it's sold out, so we're sorry for even talking about it), we couldn't believe our ears. As exclusively reported by Entertainment Weekly today, Jason will be casting a group of actors to read the script of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs in front of a packed house. One catch though...the cast will be all black. Already announced, Terrence Howard (Mr. Blonde), Anthony Mackie (Mr. Pink), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Mr. Orange) and Anthony Anderson (Nice Guy Eddie made famous by Chris Penn). ARGH!!!! MIND BLOWN!!!! Obviously, the film's main character Mr. White (played by Harvey Keitel) hasn't been announced yet, but we all have theories.

Here's Matt Owen's Live Read exclusive print -



We will be at the event, in the courtyard of LACMA, the night of the event (Feb. 16th), selling physical copies. YOU DO NOT need a ticket to get a poster. There will also be a stand-by line, but we'll remind you next week.

While talking about Matt Owen, he will have three online exclusive prints for Multiplayer x2 that we LOVE.



That one is called In N Out, and I dare you not to giggle.

And these are a set of "Mario Bricks," but you can also buy them individually.





These editions will be small, and again only available online, so be on the lookout.

We open Multiplayer x2 tomorrow, hope to see you at G1988 Melrose for the opening reception!

Just a reminder to everyone, we will be at the highly publicized (TONIGHT SHOW!?!) Live Read at LACMA tonight starting at 6:30 for Jason Reitman's vision of The Princess Bride!

With names like Paul Rudd, Mindy Kaling, Kevin Pollack (AND THE GUY WHO PLAYED DAUBER ON COACH IS DOING THE ANDRE THE GIANT PART!!!), this will be a ton of fun.

You can purchase the prints, even if you don't have a ticket for the show (as it's sold out, but there is a stand0by line starting at 6 PM), as we'll be set up, rain or shine.

ADULT SWIM x G1988 (Melrose)

Gallery1988 (Melrose) will kick off 2012 with chaos, teaming up with Adult Swim to create quite the art show.



This one has been in the works for quite some time, and the work we've seen so far is epic, so you might want to make sure you aren't still hungover on Jan. 13th. Love the Scott Listfield piece on the flyer!

Also, this is a bit of a tease on our part, but the event is so awesome we still want to talk about it.



We've produced another poster for the ongoing Film Independent @ LACMA Live Read Series w/ Jason Reitman and this is the best yet. Matt Owen has done it again, getting even more love from Entertainment Weekly this time, as Reitman has recast the classic movie "The Princess Bride," and this new generation of actors will perform a table read of the script live and in person on December 15th. The tickets sold out in about 15 seconds flat, but there will be a stand-by line that night, and this time, WE'LL BE SELLING THESE POSTERS THERE! There were only 100 made, and they are beautiful. Past live read events have included The Breakfast Club (where Jennifer Garner, Aaron Paul & James Van Der Beek took roles) and The Apartment (where Pierce Brosnan, Natalie Portman & Steve Carrel joined). Jason keeps the cast a mystery until the last minute, but he has announced Patton Oswalt (in the Vizzini/Wallace Shawn role) and G1988 homie Nick Kroll (in the Count Rugen/Christopher Guest role), so this one will not be a let down.

We will be outside the auditorium before and after the read, so even if you don't have tickets, you can purchase a poster if you like.

Speaking of secrets, some pretty good movies coming out next week...

G1988 x Jason Reitman x LACMA

We are so happy to finally be able to announce this secret...

We worked with film director Jason Reitman, and the good people from LACMA, to create limited edition screenprints for the upcoming Live Read events that are just too good to be true. Jason has selected classic movie screenplays, and enlisted his talented friends to come in and table read the entire film in front of an audience. The first event, which sold out in mere minutes, will be The Breakfast Club and goes down this Thursday. So we've enlisted Matt Owen to customize his Breakfast Club poster, and make it exclusive for LACMA.

And even if you weren't lucky enough to get a ticket this time, you can still buy the poster, edition of 200, by CLICKING HERE - http://shop.lacma.org/products/live-read-breakfast-club-limited-edition-poster

Jason has kept this whole thing really secret, but he has announced these actors/actresses being involved -

JK Simmons will play Carl the janitor

James Van Der Beek will play Andy, originated by Emilio Estevez

Mindy Kaling will play Allison, originated by Ally Sheedy

Patton Oswalt will play Brian, originated by Anthony Michael Hall

Going to be pretty amazing. Again, it's sold out, so we're totally rubbing this in your face, but the good news - there are more coming. So stay tuned to our blog, and LACMA's site for announcements.

We are so honored to have been asked by Jason to be involved and hope to see you at one of these very special events.
