Memento to Screen in Theaters Ahead of 10th Anniversary Blu-ray

Posted February 10, 2011 05:27 AM by Juan Calonge

Christopher Nolan's breakout film, the nonlinear psychological thriller Memento, will celebrate its tenth anniversary with one-night only screenings on February 17, in 11 select digital cinemas in the US and Canada, just days ahead of the release of the 10th Anniversary Blu-ray. These screenings will feature never-before-seen Q&A footage featuring Nolan speaking with acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro. The film will be screened from an all-new, director-approved, high-definition digital print.

The Blu-ray comes packed with special features including a brand new featurette with the director discussing the legacy of the film, plus the director's script, audio commentary with Christopher Nolan, the original short story, "Anatomy of a Scene" and more.

The exclusive Q&A footage can be seen only in theaters and features a conversation between Nolan and Del Toro which was recorded during a sold out Memento screening on February 4 at The American Cinematheque Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles. Nolan shares his insights and opinions on the impact Memento had on his life and his overall body of work.

Screenings will be held in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Fairfax, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego and Washington D.C.; and Toronto and Vancouver. For venue details, click here.

Cinedigm is also holding a digital movie poster contest. Fans will be provided with the art assets to create a unique poster for Memento, with the winners' art to be included on the big screen during the event on the 17th.
