She’s a thirsty vampire intent on only feeding on criminals, and this time she’s going out for Italian!
When bloodsucking Marie (Anne Parillaud) starts picking off members of the Pittsburgh mafia, she fails to finish the job with ruthless capo Sal “the Shark” Macelli (a gloriously over-the-top Robert Loggia). Transformed into a vampire, Sal wreaks havoc on the city, and Marie enlists the help of Detective Joseph Gennaro (Anthony LaPaglia) to stop the bloodletting.
Featuring some of your favorite paisans (including Tony Lip and Tony Sirico), plus a slew of fun cameos, Innocent Blood is a gore-soaked extravaganza with a demented sense of humor and gorgeous cinematography that will look incredible onscreen from director John Landis’s personal archival print.
On October 21, take a harrowin’, white-knucklin’ trip – from Van Cortlandt Park down to Coney Island – with The Deuce and authors Michael Gingold and Chris Poggiali when we celebrate the release of their hardcover Armies of the Night… with a 35mm screening of Walter Hill’s THE WARRIORS! Plus a post-screening Q&A and book signing in Trees-Lounge before and after!!
When THE WARRIORS stormed onto screens in 1979, it packed theaters, shocked critics, and ignited fierce controversy… decades later, Walter Hill’s visionary tale of urban warfare remains an influential classic, capturing the gritty essence of late-1970s New York City like no other movie…
The truth behind THE WARRIORS is as electrifying as the film itself – from Sol Yurick’s groundbreaking 1965 novel to a daring screenplay overhaul, through a chaotic production filled with gang confrontations and the loss of a lead actor mid-shoot, and into the eye of a public firestorm.
With Armies of the Night, authors Michael Gingold and Chris Poggiali dive into the film’s history, with exclusive cast and crew interviews, extensive vintage reportage, and dozens of rare photos and promotional images. Produced and released by 1984 Publishing, Armies of the Night delivers the definitive saga of a movie that took the streets by storm—shattering genre conventions and transcending its tumultuous debut to become a cultural phenomenon.
Says Gingold and Poggiali: “Discovering the details of that story—and those of the tempestuous production that resulted in a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience—over the course of writing this book has been a revelation, and we’re very excited to be ‘sending the word’ out to readers when Armies of the Night bops its way into a bookstore near you… Can you dig it???”
