'Worst Movie Ever Made' Hits Denver + The Comedy About Making It

DENVER, CO -- Cult classic film The Room will be shown in a double-feature at two theaters in metro Denver, along with a 2017 film about making the "worst movie ever made." James Franco’s 2017 comedy The Disaster Artist will be screened starting Dec. 7 around 7 p.m.

According to a press release, The Disaster Artist, tells the story of Tommy Wiseau (Franco), The Room’s eccentric director, and his friendship with Greg Sestero (Dave Franco) as they dream of becoming Hollywood stars.

The Room, originally released in 2003, developed a cult following, and has been called "one of the worst movies ever made." Like Rocky Horror Picture Show, the film developed a strong audience interaction tradition with audience members bringing plastic spoons and soft inflatable footballs which will also be encouraged at the Denver area double features.

The magic of The Room is the "earnest artistic passion of Tommy Wiseau, the film’s director," said Steve Bunnell, SVP and Chief Content and Programming Officer at Regal Entertainment Group in a statement. "In The Disaster Artist, James Franco captures the pathos and humor and some say genius in a sure to be award-winning acting performance.”
The Disaster Artist will screen first at 7:00 pm immediately followed by The Room at 9:00 pm. Cost for the event is only a $5 upcharge over the regular theatre ticket price.

Colorado screenings will take place at the Cinebarre Boulder 11 in Louisville and the Cinebarre Thornton Town Center 9. Tickets are on sale now for the double feature at the select locations, REGmovies.com and on the Regal mobile app.
