IN THEATERS

Some exciting news for Charlie Chaplin fans (and who doesn’t that include?): Janus Films has acquired the rights to the Chaplin catalogue and will start rolling the films out, all in new 35 mm prints, for a traveling theatrical retrospective this summer. The series, called Chaplin, will start July 16 at New York’s Film Forum with a weeklong run of the 1928 comedy The Circus. Other films screening will include, naturally, The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, The Great Dictator, Limelight, and A King in New York, plus a wealth of classic comic shorts.

In other theatrical news, Janus has posted its lineup of dates for the ongoing national tour of the Akira Kurosawa centennial celebration, AK 100, currently playing in Chicago and then traveling across the country through the summer.

Don't you just love Janus films I hope Chaplin's movies tour the UK.

Highly doubtful that they will play anywhere near me. Especially when even the so-called "Arts" theater will be showing Sex and the City 2: Big's Revenge. ("He's back and he's mad.")
