The Rewrite alumni viewing – Metro NY

Join us in Manhattan for an alumni viewing of “The Rewrite”, a new movie directed by Marc Lawrence ’81

Friday, Feb. 13, at 7:15 p.m.
AMC Loews Village 7
66 Third Ave. (at 11th Street), Manhattan

A special alumni screening of The Rewrite, a motion picture set at Binghamton University, written and directed by Marc Lawrence ’81, will be held on Friday as the movie releases in several markets across the country. After yesterday’s sold-out on-campus screening – attended by 1,200 alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members – the excitement and pride of seeing Binghamton University on the big screen continues to grow.

Tickets are $15/person and you may bring one guest. Please register online to purchase your tickets. If you have any questions, please contact the Alumni Relations office at 607-777-2424 or [email protected]. No refunds can be granted for this event. After the movie, we encourage you to gather with other alumni at a nearby restaurant to share reactions to the movie.

If you are unable to make it to this screening, or if it is sold out, you can purchase tickets to another showing at the AMC Loews Village 7 directly from the ACM website or the theater box office. Additionally, the movie will be available on demand following the film’s release in theaters.

The Rewrite follows a down-on-his-luck, award-winning screenwriter, played by Hugh Grant, who, as a last resort, takes a job teaching at Binghamton University, where he hopes to focus on writing another hit. However, he winds up becoming more involved than he ever imagined with his students, his colleagues — both friendly (J.K. Simmons, Chris Elliott) and adversarial (Allison Janney) — and a single mom going back for her degree (Marisa Tomei). The Rewrite is Lawrence’s self-professed “love letter” to Binghamton. He grew fond of the area while attending the University and wanted to mirror his own experience in the film.
