Terminator 2 screening marks return of Central Coast Film Society live events
Q&A to feature Terminator 2 film composer Brad Fiedel
–The Central Coast Film Society is excited to announce “They’ll Be Back” for in-person events starting with the 30th-anniversary screening of Terminator 2: Judgement Day at 1 p.m. on July 3, at The Movie Experience in San Luis Obispo.
Terminator 2 debuted on July 3, 1991, and the plot is that a cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten-year-old son, John Connor, from a more advanced and powerful cyborg. Terminator 2 was directed and co-written by Cameron, who is also a Central Coast resident, as his property is on the Gaviota coast at Hollister Ranch near Santa Barbara.
After the screening, there will also be a 30-minute Q & A with Brad Fiedel, film and television composer who is most known for his collaboration with director James Cameron on Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
“We are so thrilled that Brad will be joining us. His music from this movie is immediately recognizable and I think our guests are going to enjoy hearing him talk about the process of working on such an iconic film,” Daniel Lahr, Executive Director and Founder of Central Coast Film Society said.
Fiedel composed other top movies such as True Lies (1994) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis and Johnny Mnemonic (1995) starring Keanu Reeves. He currently lives in Santa Barbara with his wife, actress Ann Dusenberry.
“We love going to the movies and the whole experience of sitting in a theater and enjoying the show with other people, the smell of popcorn, and getting excited when the lights start to dim. We hope to help our local theaters by partnering on more special event screenings, like Terminator 2,” Risley said.
Tickets for the special screening include a medium popcorn and access to the Q&A, and are only available through the Central Coast Film Society website at www.centralcoastfilmsociety.org and click events page. The cost is $10 for students and $15 for non-members. New and current Central Coast Film Society members get a free ticket as part of their annual membership benefits.
