The historic Newtown Theatre will screen “Mad Props” on Thursday, March 14 at 7:30 PM. Prior to the film, there will be a display of original, screen-used props and costumes from movies such as Shawshank Redemption, Meet the Fockers, Terminator, The Conjuring and others.
“Mad Props” is a documentary that follows movie-prop collector Tom Biolchini as he travels the globe to meet with other prop collectors and creatives in the entertainment industry. They discuss the ever-growing market and value of prop collecting compared to those who collect “classic” art like paintings and sculptures.
Featuring film veterans such as Mickey Rourke, Lance Henriksen and Robert Englund, the inspiring film takes its audience on a journey of nostalgia and shows how film is one of the few mediums that truly unites us all.
