Staying In

I don’t often post about movies here, but I thought it was worth making an exception for some much loved Friday Night Lights actors.

This Friday, Nov. 13, brings the limited release of two new films featuring Connie Britton, Adrianne Palicki and Zach Gilford. If you’re in Los Angeles, you even have the chance to see one of those actors in person.

Women In Trouble, written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez, is a series of vignette-like stories following ten different women during one day. It stars a bevy of familiar TV faces, including Britton, Palicki, Carla Gugino (Out of Sight), Marley Shelton (The Eleventh Hour), Cameron Richardson (Harper’s Island), Garcelle Beauvais (Eyes), Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage), Sarah Clarke (24) and Simon Baker (The Mentalist), in addition to current indie favorite Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Josh Brolin.

The Arclight Theater in Hollywood will host Q&As following the 7:30 p.m. shows this Friday, Nov. 13, and Saturday, Nov. 14. Gutierrez and Shelton will be on hand Friday, while Gugino and Baker will join Gutierrez on Saturday.

Also opening this Friday in LA and New York is Gilford’s new film. He stars alongside Emmy Rossum, Ashley Springer, Ana Gasteyer, Alan Cumming and Sandra Bernhard in director Adam Salky’s Dare. The film centers around three high school teenagers who form a complicated relationship.

Gilford and Salky will participate in a Q&A after the 7:45 p.m. screening at the Laemmle Sunset 5 theater this Friday. Salky will also do a Q&A after the 7:45 p.m. show on Saturday.

Check out trailers for both films behind the cut. And don’t forget, the Paley Center is hosting a Parks and Recreation panel this Saturday, as well. It’s going to be a busy night.
