If
you missed the black comedy “Live Free or Die” at the N.H. Film Expo in
October, you haven’t lost your chance to see it on the big screen. It will open to a limited release in New England theatres
on Friday, March 30.
The film, written and directed by former “Seinfeld” writers Gregg
Kavet and Andy Robin and shot entirely on location in Claremont, tells the
story of a clueless, aspiring criminal named John “Rugged” Rudgate (Stanford)
who spends his days forging rebate checks and selling speakers out the back of
his van. When Rugged runs into an old acquaintance, the dim-witted Jeff Lagrand
(Schneider), and tries to force himself into the Lagrand family business,
things go terribly wrong. The situation gets even more complicated when an
emotionally unstable cop (Rapaport) begins investigating.
The film will be shown at the Regal Portsmouth 5 Cinemas, the
Regal Manchester 9 Cinemas, the Entertainment Cinemas Lebanon 6, and the
Claremont Cinema 6. The film will open in Keene at The Colonial Theatre on
April 6. The film will also open on March 30 in Boston, Mass., and Providence,
R.I., according to a pres release from the New Hampshire Film and Television
Office.
Live Free or Die is
released by ThinkFilm. More information is available at www.livefreemovie.com.
