It’s Coming: Drafthouse Films’ THE FP Gets A Release Date

The first Drafthouse Film was Four Lions, Chris Morris' brilliant and edgy satire of terrorism. Coming next is Bullhead, the Belgian movie that is nominated for a Best Foreign Film Oscar. Both of these are pretty high end movies, but don't think a Drafthouse Film is always going to be going for awards or getting to the heart of the conflict of our times. 

Sometimes Drafthouse Films will release a movie like The FP. Crazy, crass and very ridiculous, The FP is a film set in a semi-post-apocalyptic world where rival gangs rule the town of Frazier Park (the FP) and where beefs are settled in a deadly dance game called Beat Beat Revelation.

The FP is a divisive film; I loved it but many others will be baffled by it. You'll have a chance to make up your own mind, as the SXSW entry is finally coming to theaters. It will open March 16th (after a February 25th premiere at the Cinefamily in Los Angeles). Here are the theaters:
