My Favorite Movie With Tom King, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Join
Future Tense and Tom King—comic book writer for Batman, Mister
Miracle, and The
Vision, among others—for a screening and discussion of the 1982 movie Star Trek
II: The Wrath of Khan. The film, based on the classic
science fiction franchise, follows the crew of the USS Enterprise as they
attempt to stop the genetically-engineered despot Khan Noonien Singh from
acquiring a powerful planet-shaping device and exacting revenge.

The event will be followed by a
discussion between King, and Jacob Brogan, Slate
writer and host of Slate’s “Working” podcast, about how the cult classic
influenced his love of science fiction. Audience members will also have a
chance to ask King their own questions about the film and his career. 

This latest installment of Future Tense’s “My Favorite Movie” series will
take place at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 6, at Washington, D.C.’s Landmark E
Street Cinema at 555 11th Street NW. You may RSVP for yourself and up to one guest. The event is free and open to the
public. Seating will be
limited.
