Jerry Seinfeld Event in Chicago to Pump ‘Bee Movie’ Canceled

Due to scheduling conflicts, Monday’s “Bee Movie” event with Jerry Seinfeld at AMC River East in Chicago has been canceled. I wrote about this on Sept. 13. The film opens on Nov. 2. Press interviews for the film are still on.

Seinfeld, Broderick to Roll Out Red Carpet in Chicago on Oct. 1 to Pump ‘Bee Movie’

While screening “Eastern Promises” tonight at Pipers Alley in Chicago, I learned that Jerry Seinfeld and Matthew Broderick will roll out the red carpet here on Oct. 1 to pump their animated “Bee Movie”.

The duo will appear at an invitation-only event at AMC River East, which is where “Ocean’s Thirteen” stars wowed Chicago on June 7. “Bee Movie” opens on Nov. 2.

By the way, “Eastern Promises” screened to a nearly packed crowd at the same time the first Serbian Film Festival kicked off its opening ceremony on Thursday at Pipers Alley.

I also learned of the Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema, which is said to be the largest showcase of Israeli films in the Midwest. I hear the 52-minute documentary “The Ashkenazim” is particularly noteworthy.
