Once To See U.S. Release
Good news — Once, the new movie starring Glen Hansard (of The Frames) and Marketa Irglova, is set for a limited U.S. release on May 18th. No word yet on what cities will get the movie, but I would assume New York and L.A. are safe bets.
In addition, Fox Searchlight has organized a three-week promotional tour where fans can catch a free screening of the movie followed by a discussion with the director and stars, capped off by a performance by Glen and Marketa. Unfortunately, no New York:
April 29th – Boston
May 2nd – Philadelphia
May 3rd – Washington D.C.
May 4th – Toronto
May 7th – Detroit
May 8th – Chicago
May 9th – St. Louis
May 10th – Memphis
May 11th – Dallas
May 12th – Austin
May 14th – Phoenix
May 16th – San Diego
May 17th – San Francisco
May 18th – Seattle

Finally, Glen is also scheduled to play two badge-holder only solo shows at the Tribeca Film festival next week — Tuesday, May 1 and Wednesday, May 2 at 5pm at Canal Room. (Notably, Jon Auer is also doing shows on Thursday and Friday at 4:20pm.) I really freaking wish I had a badge. I may have to go try to beg my way into one or more of these sets.
Edited to add: Be sure to head over to the movie’s website to hear the movie’s soundtrack streaming in the background. If you’re a Glen/Frames fan, you’ll recognize a lot of it, but there’s a few really good new songs on there, including the incredible “Trying To Pull Myself Away” and “All The Way Down”.
