‘Wayne’s World’ Returning to Cinemas for 25th Anniversary
Wayne’s World, the 1992 Saturday Night Live spinoff film starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, will return to select cinemas on February 7th and 8th for 25th anniversary screenings. The wacky comedy will feature a pre-recorded, post-film roundtable discussion with director Penelope Spheeris, Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers and select cast members.
The Wayne’s World 25 website offers a searchable theater guide for the screenings. Also marking the anniversary, Paramount Home Media Distribution will release a Wayne’s World double feature via DVD and digital HD on February 14th, Pitchfork reports. The film’s iTunes edition will include new digital extras like a director’s commentary and making-of feature.
Wayne’s World stars Myers and Carvey as Wayne and Garth, a pair of rock-loving friends who host a local public-access show in Aurora, Illinois. The city is marking the anniversary with an expansive celebration running February 3rd through July 4th. According to The Chicago Tribune, “Party On! 25 Years of Wayne’s World” will include roughly a dozen events, including a look-alike contest, air-guitar competition, movie screenings and a doughnut tasting.
