Throughout August’s hazy summer nights, the
Alamo Drafthouse and
Levi’s will be taking the
Rolling Roadshow to the people under the unified banner of “We Are All Workers.” Rooted by one of the nation’s founding principles, “We Are All Workers” hits the road with nine seminal screenings proving that everybody’s work is equally important. True to form, each screening will be in the location where the film was shot or set.
What’s even cooler is that Alamo has commissioned
Olly Moss to design a movie poster for each tour stop of the Rolling Roadshow. Each 2 color poster features Olly’s classic retro minimalistic feel and trademark orange and black color scheme on cream colored paper. Not much is currently know about these amazing looking movie posters, but I’d be willing to bet just about anything we see these images released as screen prints by
Mondo sometime in the near future…possibly even at their corresponding Rolling Roadshow tour stops!
Inspired by the spirit of the American worker, the Alamo Drafthouse and Levi’s have curated an eclectic line up that ranges from the birth of the oil nation in Paul Thomas Anderson’s
There Will Be Blood to the futuristic corporate nightmare of Paul Verhoven’s
Robocop. Championship contenders are crowned and humbled as Sylvester Stallone embarks on an epic
Rocky-thon on the Liberty Steps, while Marlon Brando is washed-up
On The Waterfront of the New Jersey docks.
Law breakers are saluted as
Dirty Harry takes to San Francisco’s Washington Square Park, Quentin Tarantino with
Jackie Brown, and Chicago’s finest,
The Blues Brothers, tear their musical mission from God across the country. Closing out the Roadshow is the defining immigrant worker story of
The Godfather: Part II which will screen from the rooftops and chimney stacks of New York’s Little Italy.
All Rolling Roadshow “We Are All Workers” screenings are free, open to the public and will be accompanied by related events at each location. For more information and updates on individual shows and their related events, check back on the Alamo Drafthouse
Rolling Roadshow page or the Levi’s®
