CAN’T BUY ME LOVE cast and crew will reunite for first ever Q+A and screening of the 1987 teen comedy… Filmgoers have the rare opportunity to see a 35mm, theatrical print of CAN’T BUY ME LOVE along with a talkback with many of the film’s cast and its screenwriter, at a midnight showing on Friday, February 11, 2011, at Landmark’s Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles.

Original writer Michael Swerdlick and actors Darcy DeMoss, Courtney Gains, Devin DeVasquez, Cort McCown, Gerardo Mejia, Max Perlich and Eric Bruskotter will reunite for the first time at the screening with additional stars and filmmakers to be announced shortly. Fans can expect an introduction of the night’s guests, never before seen surprises, and a post-show Q+A.

A nerdy Arizona high school student (Ronald Miller, portrayed by Patrick Dempsey) goes from “totally geek to totally chic” when he pays off the most popular girl in school (Cindy Mancini, played by Amanda Peterson) to pose as his girlfriend. Ronald is finally in the “cool clique,” but soon learns that popularity isn’t all it’s cracked up to be – in this 80s classic portrayal of high school social dynamics and youth culture.

Originally titled “Boy Rents Girl,” CAN’T BUY ME LOVE is the first outside film ever acquired by The Walt Disney Company. Distributed by Touchstone Pictures, the film was championed by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner. Eisner screened “Boy Rents Girl” for Michael Jackson, who then gave permission for the title change and the use of the Beatles’ 1964 hit song, to which he controlled the rights. Rumor has it that Jackson liked the film.

The event is being produced by documentary filmmaker and blogger Paul Germain, in association with Landmark Theaters and The Nuart Theatre. Visit Germain’s pop culture blog (www.PopPowWow.com) for event info and ticket giveaway contest: “Show Love for Can’t Buy Me Love.”
