Passing Strange The Movie extends Berkeley run!

Great news from IFC Films, distributor of Passing Strange The Movie: because of the strong support of Berkeley audiences, the movie is going to stick around for another week at the Shattuck Cinemas.
Spike Lee's filmed version of the Tony Award-winning rock musical will run at least through Thursday, October 15 in Berkeley, and if audiences continue to come out and see it, the run could be extended further.
The run at San Francisco's Embarcadero Center Cinema concludes on October 8.
It hardly seems surprising that Berkeley audiences, many of whom first experienced Passing Strange at Berkeley Rep, would want to see the show again on film. A bunch of folks around here saw the movie this week and loved it (they're biased) and agreed that Spike Lee did right by the show and its creators, Stew and Heidi Rodewald.
Shattuck Cinemas are at 2230 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley. Show times for Passing Strange The Movie are 1:25, 4:05, 6:50, 9:45 in the screening lounge.
