Million Dollar Theater To Host ‘Wild Bunch' Celebration
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - The Historic Core’s Million Dollar Theater this week will host a star-studded screening of a film many consider to be among the greatest westerns ever made.
On Thursday, Nov. 12, the venue at Broadway and Third Street will be the site of the Jules Verne Festival’s celebration of the 40th anniversary of the release of Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch. The event will start at 7 p.m. with an awards ceremony honoring actor Ernest Borgnine, who starred in the film and is slated to appear at the event. Relatives of the late director will also be honored. Other celebrities scheduled to attend include Ali MacGraw (who will present Pekinpah’s children with an award), Malcolm McDowell and Billy Bob Thornton. “We will reassemble the cast and crew of the movie… as well as other celebrities that are connected somehow to Peckinpah’s work, like actors that played in other movies he made,” said Jules Verne Festival director Frédéric Dieudonné. The event is open to the public and general admission tickets are $15. The Million Dollar Theater is at 307 S. Broadway. Tickets and information are at (213) 884-7005 or julesverne.org.
