  • “HATCHET” Theaters this Weekend
    * EDIT – NYC & CANADIAN Theaters added!
     
    Hatchet Poster Below are the theaters “HATCHET” will be opening in this Friday - Sept 7th.  As always, this first weekend will determine if the film continues further into other parts of the country.  So please make plans to check it out if it’s near you! 
     
    The film’s been getting great reviews so far – which is rare for a genre picture like this.  I think the last time I read good reviews for a horror movie was “Shaun of the Dead” and “The Descent“.
     
    arclight I’m off today on a plane to open the movie in Boston this Tuesday, Sept 4 at the AMC Boston Commons 19 and then I’ll be back in Los Angeles on Thursday, Sept 6th for the “Finishing the GameLA Kickoff Party to check out Anson Ho’s documentary: “Building a Journey: From ‘BETTER LUCK TOMORROW’ to ‘FINISHING THE GAME’(FTG opens in theaters Oct 5th).  And then the “Hatchet” cast and I will be at the Arclight Cinemas on Fri, Sept 7th for the 10pm screening.  Should be a fun time.   Check the “News” section on www.hatchetmovie.com for updated theater listings.  
     
    Next week: I’ll formally announce the Comic Anthology I’m helping to put together.  But if you’ve got a story idea that can’t wait, you can shoot it on over to secretidentitiescomic@yahoo.com
     
     
    When a group of tourists on a New Orleans haunted swamp tour led by Shawn (Parry Shen) find themselves stranded in the wilderness, their evening of fun and spooks turns into a horrific nightmare…
     
    Hatchet“ premiered at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival and has won 3 Best Picture Awards at festivals around the country.
     
    “Parry Shen (Shawn) = funny.”
    -John Fallon, ARROWINTHEHEAD.COM-

    “One of the biggest hits at the Tribeca Film Festival.”
    – VARIETY –
     
    “Entertaining even if you are not a horror fan.
    HATCHET is well worth the price of the ticket.”
    – Nadine Matthews, NY TIMES – ABOUT.COM
    “Amazing, magnificent and immensely stupefying…
    HATCHET not only delivers all the goods but manages to up the bar
    a few notches as well.”
    – Monster & Critics, U.K. -
     
    “HATCHET delivers on all fronts.
    You’ll be giddier than a maniac on a killing spree by the time it’s all over. I loved it!”

  • Wow, it looks like Hatchet is playing on all the theaters in Memphis. Sounds like you’re a busy man, Parry Shen. Hope all is well.

  • do you see ABQ on that list? nope… me either! sigh!!!!!!!!

  • san francisco?!!!?

  • HEY Congrats on all the glowing reviews!

  • I’ve just seen Hatchet and I was really impressed with this guy’s range. He didn’t wear quite the same number of hats (and I’m not talking about the type one wear’s on one’s head, although his top hat was pretty fancy) as Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove, but it showed great ability. That he got the comic timing of his delivery right too was impressive; it’s amazing how few actors can achieve that.

    I remembered seeing him in Better Luck Tomorrow a couple of years ago and thought he was destined for promising things, so it’s nice to see him performing well on the big screen again.

    Kudos. Excellent performance. Surprisingly good film.

  • Hey Parry! I just watched the trailer. *chills* Looking forward to seeing the film and your “stereotype-bending” character :]
