Road Trips and Zombie Hordes Rule the January Indie Scene3 of 6
The Room
It has been 14 years since The Room opened on just two screens, funded by its writer, director, producer, and star Tommy Wiseau. Now, after being embraced as a cult classic and given the biopic treatment in The Disaster Artist, the movie will finally get a one-night only run in 600 theaters across the U.S. Despite being called “the Citizen Kane of bad movies,” The Room has played continuously in major cities around the world for over a decade. And while audiences have been laughing at what was intended to be a drama, this wide release confirms that it is Wiseau who has had the last laugh. – Michael
The Room will play in limited U.S. release on Wednesday, Jan. 10
