Our second Free Baltimore screening is for the upcoming Fox Searchlight’s biopic, AMELIA, starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere. The screening will be on Wednesday, October 21st at 7:30pm at your local AMC theater.

Here is a quick synopsis of the film and what you are in store for.

An extraordinary life of adventure, celebrity and continuing mystery comes to light in AMELIA, a vast, thrilling account of legendary aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart (two time Academy Award® winner Hilary Swank).

After becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, Amelia was thrust into a new role as America’s sweetheart – the legendary “goddess of light,” known for her bold, larger-than-life charisma. Yet, even with her global fame solidified, her belief in flirting with danger and standing up as her own, outspoken woman never changed. She was an inspiration to people everywhere, from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (Cherry Jones) to the men closest to her heart: her husband, promoter and publishing magnate George P. Putnam (Golden Globe® winner Richard Gere), and her long time friend and lover, pilot Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). In the summer of 1937, Amelia set off on her most daunting mission yet: a solo flight around the world that she and George both anxiously foresaw as destined, whatever the outcome, to become one of the most talked-about journeys in history.

Below we have the trailer for you all to enjoy below:

Now on to the part that you all have been waiting for: how do I win? That is the easy part. The first 50 people to comment on this post with a valid email (it’s displayed only to me) along with the words – “I want to see Amelia for free“, win a pass – good for two to the above screening. Again, if you want to bring a date you still only need to enter once! This is a pass good for two of you!

I do ask that due to the size of the screening that you try and be there by 6:30pm as this will guarantee you a seat. This will allow all of you fine folks to grab your passes and a great seat for the film. You will need to give me your email address (the one you used in the comments below) to validate that you indeed got a pass.

More logistics… I will be there alongside the ticket taker checking emails and handing out passes to the sneak peak. I will be in my Atomic Popcorn shirt (duh!). That should be enough to clue you in to which direction to head.
