'Intoxicating' Held Over for 2nd Week
The intense low budget indepedent film Intoxicating has been held over for a second week at the Edwards University 6 in Irvine after a strong opening weekend. The film which opened on three southern California screens last friday remains at the Loews Beverly Center, AMC Rolling Hills 20 and Edwards University 6 through thursday with Edwards (Regal) holding the film over already.
Based on the true story of a surgeon, who while caring for his dying father, falls into a downward spiral of drug and alcohol abuse.
The film stars award winning indie actor Kirk Harris (Hard Luck, My Sweet Killer), Golden Globe Nominee John Savage (The Deer Hunter, Thin Red Line), Academy Award Nominee Eric Roberts (Runaway Train, ABC's Less Than Perfect), and Danish star Camilla Overbye Roos (Titanic, White Squall). The film was directed by Mark David who also co-composed the soundtrack with such artists as Coolio, Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, Mopreme Shakur of The Outlawz and MC Eiht of Compton's Most Wanted.
The film will move to several other markets throughout the rest of this year through the spring of 2005. A hybrid of formats the film was shot on Super 16mm, color timed on a Final Cut Pro out to a digital intermediate 35neg where release prints where then made.
