Love and UFOs in film at the Phoenix Theatre in Bordon
Paul Coates
The film Asteroid City (12A) will be the next Phoenix Cinema attraction at The Phoenix Theatre and Arts Centre in Bordon on March 27 at 7.30pm.
In a 1950s retro-futuristic TV special, a host (Bryan Cranston) introduces a documentary on the creation of a fictional play, Asteroid City, by playwright Conrad Earp (Edward Norton). The play unfolds at a youth astronomy convention in the desert town of Asteroid City.
War photojournalist Augie Steenbeck (Jason Schwartzman) arrives with his family, facing personal challenges. A romance blossoms among the characters, and a UFO incident puts the town under military quarantine. The play’s events become national news, leading to a revolt against the military.
The movie also features Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Maya Hawke, Matt Dillon and many more.
