There's a special event happening Thursday at Cinemark 12 in Victoria. It's the first-ever event of it's kind, and as they say, it'll either be really cool or, a complete train wreck.

Get this-this is a film that will actually be screened live, as its filmed! Wait, what??? Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson and Willie Nelson will star in this one-of-a-kind event, and it's showing here at Cinemark 12 in Victoria Thursday, January 19th at 8pm. Here's the official press release that gives the details.

The First Feature-Length Film Shot and Broadcast Live to Cinemas Will Air January 19

DENVER – December 15, 2016 – Academy Award® nominated actor Woody Harrelson will direct and star in an unprecedented live feature film event, “Lost in London LIVE,” on January 19, 2017. Harrelson, who wrote the feature film “Lost in London,” will also co-star with Owen Wilson and Willie Nelson. Ken Kao of Waypoint Entertainment will produce alongside Harrelson. This first-of-its-kind film event will screen live in U.S. movie theaters, giving audiences the unique opportunity to watch a film shot in real time.

Loosely based on a crazy night full of real-life events, “Lost in London” follows Harrelson, playing himself, as he struggles to get home to his family. Run-ins with royalty, old friends and the law all seem to conspire to keep Harrelson from succeeding.

"I’ve always loved theatre and film and wanted to find the best way to merge the two.  When I decided to shoot this in real time I realized it wasn’t quite like true theatre because the one piece missing was a live audience. By broadcasting the film live as its being shot I hope to truly blend the excitement of live theater with the scale and scope of film,” said Harrelson.

This special cinema event, presented by Fathom Events, will be broadcast live in movie theaters nationwide for one night on Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. CT / 7:00 p.m. Following the feature presentation, Harrelson will participate in a live Q&A.

Tickets for the “Lost in London LIVE” event can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in more than 550 select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network (DBN).

Want to go for free?  Just stop by the station at 107 North Star Drive in Victoria during business hours (Mon-Fri 8-5) and pick up a pair of passes. Limit one per family.

Don't miss this first of its kind event!
