'True Romance' Festival Taking Place May 2-3 In Burbank, CA
This is so cool. The Quentin Tarantino-written, Tony Scott-directed film True Romance celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Though it's a bit late, a huge celebration of the film is set for May 2-3 in Burbank, CA. The event will take place at the Safari Inn Motel, the same place Clarence (Christian Slater) and Alabama (Patricia Arquette) go before their wild adventure comes to an end. Bronson Pinchot is hosting the two day event which includes signings, meet and greets, parties, karaoke, prop displays, never before seen behind the scenes photos and, of course, a sunset outdoor screening of the film with costume contest.
Tickets and VIP hotel packages go on sale February 3 at this page. You can read more there, and here's the official press release.
It's been over 20 years since True Romance hit theaters. Now Sean Healy and Dan Storm Productions are proud to present the True Romance Fest, an unforgettable 2-day weekend event at the world- famous Safari Inn of Burbank, CA.

Saturday begins with a hearty breakfast and meet & greet with Bronson Pinchot, and culminates with an outdoor sunset screening of the cult classic, True Romance, starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. Fans are encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters for our costume contest and take pictures in the "you're so cool" True Romance photo booth.
