Johnny Depp (L) and Landau in ‘Ed Wood’ which screens at Green Light Cinema in St. Petersburg, Florida on Sept. 19, 2024.
The classic, award-winning Tim Burton-directed biopic uses its star-studded cast to tell the story of Edward D. Wood Jr. a real life, ambitious and troubled movie director, who's also been infamously dubbed as "the worst director of all time."
Film icons like Johnny Depp, Martin Landau (whose role in this film won him the 1995 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role), and Sarah Jessica Parker come together under the genius of Burton to depict Wood's early struggles in the film industry. Classified as a biographical comedy-drama, Burton’s film semi-celebrates Wood—who died in 1978 at the age of 54—with its classic 1950s black-and-white feel and is, at the very least, nothing short of entertaining.
Second Screen, which has found itself a new, permanent home at Green Light which hosts the group’s curated programs every third Thursday of the month.
Second Screen Presents ‘Ed Wood’: Next Thursday, Sept. 19. 7 p.m. $10-$12. Green Light Cinema, 221 2nd Ave., St. Petersburg. @SecondScreenCultCinema on Facebook.
