ROYAL OAK HOSTING WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW HORROR FLICK

Emagine Entertainment will be hosting the North American Red Carpet Movie Premiere of Dark Planet Releasing’s highly anticipated horror movie Thorns, at their Royal Oak, MI theatre on Saturday, February 17, 2024. The premiere will feature red carpet arrivals by key cast and crew including horror film legend Doug Bradley, and Michigan natives, Writer and Director, Doug Schulze and Editor and Co-Producer Julie Schulze.

In Thorns, Archbishop Jenkins (played by Doug Bradley) mentors an ex-priest working for NASA who is sent to investigate a remote observatory that went silent after receiving a mysterious radio signal from deep space. Upon arrival, he discovers the signal opened a portal unleashing a thorned monster. The former priest must now summon his lost faith to stop the signal from spreading hell on earth.

Thorns will have a limited engagement beginning February 23 at select Emagine theaters before a wider release later in 2024. The film will be shown at Emagine Royal Oak, Emagine Canton, Emagine Novi, and Emagine Rochester Hills during its first run. Thorns, which was shot entirely in Michigan at the Motion Pictures Institute in Troy and in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, was created by Michigan based independent filmmakers Doug and Julie Schulze.

The Red-Carpet event begins at 6:30 on Saturday, February 17. At 7:00pm Doug Bradley and Doug Schulze will answer questions from the audience during a live Q&A. The film will begin immediately after the Q&A at approximately 7:45pm. Tickets for the Red-Carpet Premiere and Q&A are $13.25 and available now at www.emagine-entertainment.com.

Thorns has played to rave reviews and enthusiastic audiences at film festivals worldwide, including Sitges Brigadoon Festival, Fright Fest in London, Monsters of Film and was the closing night film at the New York City Horror Film Festival.

Marvel's Captain America: Civil War - Girls Reforming the Future Challenge

Know a girl in 10th through 12th grade that dreams of making our world a better place?  Encourage her to enter the MARVEL'S CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR - GIRLS REFORMING THE FUTURE CHALLENGE between now and March 26, 2016.  This challenge invites girls from across the United States, ages 15 - 18, to submit innovative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) based projects that have the potential to change the world.  Each applicant will be asked to submit a short video demonstrating her project and explaining how her science and technology-based project would make the world a better place.  Five finalists will be selected to visit California and present their projects to a panel of experts.  One grand prize winner will be selected from the five finalists to receive an internship at Marvel Studios.



In Captain America: Civil War, each hero is forced to take a stand and choose a side in their fight to reform the future.  Although the Avengers become divided they remain united by the same goals:  the commitment to safeguard humanity, protect the Earth at all costs and make the world a better place for future generations.  Marvel is launching the GIRLS REFORMING THE FUTURE CHALLENGE to engage young women to further the goals of these fictional super heroes within real life.

Disney, Marvel Studios, Dolby Laboratories, Synchrony Bank, Broadcom MASTERS, and the Science & Entertainment Exchange, a program of National Academy of Sciences, are all working together to help encourage young ladies to reach for their potential to become real life super heroes.  Finalists will have the opportunity to inspire other girls around the world by participating in a LIVE global Broadcom MASTERS webinar during which they will discuss how STEM skills enabled them to craft the project proposals which led them to becoming a finalist in the CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR - GIRLS REFORMING THE FUTURE CHALLENGE.  The Grand Prize Winner will also share during the webinar details about how she utilized STEM skills during her Marvel Studios internship experience to show practical applications outside of a lab or class room.

Each of the five finalists will receive: Two round-trip tickets to Southern California for the Challenge participant and a parent or guardian (including scheduled meals, ground transportation to and from organized activities, and hotel accommodations from April 10 through April 13, 2016); an opportunity to be on the red carpet for the World Premiere of Marvel's Captain America: Civil War at the Dolby Theatre on April 12, 2016; a tour of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California; and $500.00 deposited into a High Yield Savings account with Synchrony Bank.
