Back in (Shane) Black
Once branded Hollywood’s screenwriting wunderkind du jour, Shane Black has enjoyed — and suffered — a tumultuous career in the trenches, from hero (“Lethal Weapon”) to chump (“The Last Boy Scout”).
But he beautifully boomed back with smarts and style with 2005’s biting noir comedy “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer, which he will screen and discuss at 7 p.m. Jan 29 at the Alamo Lake Creek (13729 Research Blvd.).
The writer-director appears as part of the Austin Film Festival’s Conversations in Film. Black has been a regular panelist at the fest for at least a decade.
Tickets are $12 general, $10 for AFF members, and available HERE.
