So Sad… Media Shut Out of Epic Sarah Palin Movie Premiere Tonight in Pella
from Gateway Pundit by Jim Hoft
The much anticipated Sarah Palin documentary, "The Undefeated", which chronicles Sarah Palin's rise from mayor of Wasilla, Alaska to national prominence, will play exclusively in AMC Theatres starting on July 15th. You can vote for the movie to play in your town at The Undefeated website.
There will be a full house tonight at the premiere of the Sarah Palin movie "The Undefeated" tonight in Pella, Iowa. Sadly, there weren't enough tickets for all of the media cranks that wanted to attend the premiere.
The Hollywood Reporter reported, via Free Republic:
Reporters from around the country that have descended upon tiny Pella, Iowa for the premiere of the Sarah Palin documentary The Undefeated on Tuesday night were in for a rude awakening: So scarce are the tickets that there's no room in the theater for journalists.
The town, in fact, has been filling up rapidly since Palin confirmed she'd attend the premiere with her husband, Todd. Police notified residents that the streets around the venue, the 111-year-old Pella Opera House, would be shut down beginning 13 hours prior to show time.
On Monday, organizers were still divvying up tickets to the massively oversubscribed event, and reporters – some who travelled more than 1,000 miles — were given the word that they didn't make the cut.
Organizers were scrambling Monday, though, trying to arrange a separate screening for journalists, but there were no guarantees given…
…Most of the 340 tickets went to Iowans and some of the commentators featured in the film, like Tammy Bruce and Sonnie Johnson. The most controversial cast member – not including Palin herself – is Andrew Breitbart, who is expected to be a last-minute arrival on Tuesday.
"I didn't invite all my right-wing Hollywood friends," Bannon said. "Jon Voight, Dennis Miller, I'll have a screening for those guys later. I'd actually like them to buy a ticket, but they're so tight… And you can quote me on that," he joked."
Producer, director and writer Stephen Bannon discussed his latest documentary on Sarah Palin "The Undefeated" with me last week. You can listen to the interview here. |
