Film Society of Lincoln Center Screens THE CROODS Sneak Preview Tonight

The Film Society of Lincoln Center presents a special Sneak Preview screening event this month at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center (144 West 65th Street). FSLC will present Dreamworks Animation's upcoming 3D film, THE CROODS tonight, March 13. The filmmaker will attend and participate in tonight's Q&A.

Screening at the Walter Reade Theater tonight, March 13 at 7:00PM, Film Society will screen Dreamworks Animation's animated comedy, THE CROODS. Directed by Chris Sanders and Kirk De Micco, THE CROODS is a 3D comedy adventure that follows the world's first modern family as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always been their home, is destroyed. Traveling across a spectacular landscape, the Croods are rocked by generational clashes and seismic shifts as they discover an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures -- and their outlook is changed forever. The all-star cast providing the voices include Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, Catherine Keener and Cloris Leachman. THE CROODS is due for release March 22, 2013.

Prior to joining forces to bring THE CROODS to the big screen, Sanders previously directed HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2010) and LILO AND STITCH (2002) and De Micco wrote and directed SPACE CHIMPS (2008) and co-produced RACING STRIPES (2005). Both will attend the screening and participate in a Q&A.
