Hollywood in the Hills Outdoor Movie Series Enters 4th Season
Bedford’s free outdoor movie series, Hollywood in the Hills, returns for its 4th season at the Bedford Elementary School. All movies will be held at the Bedford Elementary School athletic field at dusk on the dates listed, with gates opening at 7:00 pm. In the case of rain or windy conditions, the movies will be held in the Bedford Elementary gym and the film will begin at 7:30 pm. Come early, claim a great spot, and enjoy the sunset over the D-Day Memorial.
The 2008 season will screen the following features:
June 21st: Charlotte’s Web - An updated retelling of E.B. White’s beloved tale, “Charlotte’s Web,” of an eclectic bunch of barnyard characters who come together under the leadership of a wise spider to save a young pig destined for the dinner table.
July 19th: Surf’s Up - An animated documentary, in which film crews go behind the scenes at the Penguin World Surfing Championship to provide a close-up look at the inventors of surfing. The documentary follows Cody Maverick, a penguin with a passion for surfing, through his journey of leaving home, training with Big Z, and competing in the big challenge, including the life lessons he learns along the way.
August 16th: Happy Feet - Living with his colony in the Antarctic, young emperor penguin Mumble is aptly named: Whiles his friends use their singing skills to attract mates, his caterwauling send potential sweethearts waddling in the opposite direction. But Mumble is blessed with an unusual gift — he can tap dance in a way that would make Fred Astaire jealous!
September 20th: We Are Marshall - After a plane crash takes the lives of most of Marshall University’s football team, new coach Jack Lengyel (Matthew McConaughey) must rally the surviving players and a grieving community to victory. Based on true events, this inspiring drama follows Lengyel and his assistant coach (Matthew Fox) as they try to renew Marshall’s football program and help the close-knit West Virginia town find new hope.
The community is encouraged to bring chairs and blankets. Concessions will be on sale, including pizza, candy, popcorn, sodas, and ice cream. No alcohol or pets are permitted. This family-friendly event is brought to you by the generous support of Bedford Memorial Hospital and Bank of Fincastle and your community organizers: The Bedford Welcome Center, Just Right Audio/Video, the Bedford Public Library System, and the Parks & Rec Departments of both Bedford City and County.
