Premiere of "The Matrix"... Pre-releases of "Out of Towners" & "Cookie's Fortune.".



Item # 704866

March 28, 1999

LOS ANGELES TIMES, March 28, 1999 (Calendar Section only)

* "Matrix" pre-release ad
* Pre-release of "The Out of Towners"


A terrific 2-page ad prior to the premiere of the cult classic movie "The Matrix", starring Keanu Reeves & Lawrence Fishburne. Additionally, a pre-premier ad of "The Out of Towners", staring Goldie Hawn & Steve Martin, includes a full-page advertisement. Other popular movie advertisements include: "Forces of Nature", staring Sandra Bullock & Ben Affleck, "True Crime", starring Clint Eastwood, "The King and I" & "Shakespear in Love", 1998's Best Picture of the Year. More ads, from earlier release dates are shown in images. Perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication. 

Note: Where else might one find authentic, poster-size ads for Opening Day showings, in the most desirable Hollywood-area newspaper - as we were lucky enough to obtain this (and others) indirectly from the Los Angeles Times' own collection? It simply doesn't get any better! In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).

Includes both the front and Calendar sections, in very good condition. See images for details.
