Logan Hill, veteran New York Times contributor, hosts an advance screening of Academy Award-winning Director Steve MᶜQueen’s new film “Widows,” from 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises, followed by a conversation with MᶜQueen.
Set in contemporary Chicago, “Widows” is the story of four women who conspire to commit a crime to replay a debt left behind by their dead husbands. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear MᶜQueen discuss how he and co-writer Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl”) adapted the 1980’s British TV series that inspired the film, how he infused it with his signature visual style and directed a large ensemble cast led by Viola Davis to weave this modern-day thriller set against the backdrop of crime, passion and corruption.
