CineVegas will host “CineVegas Under the Stars” at the Springs Preserve, a new summer outdoor screening series to be held once a month for four months beginning Saturday, April 11. Featuring both new and treasured films, the screenings will be held at 8pm in the Spring Preserve’s outdoor amphitheater
The series will launch on Saturday, April 11 with YONKERS JOE, an exciting, high-stakes con film and moving family drama written and directed by Robert Celestino, and starring Academy Award-nominee Chazz Palminteri, Academy Award-winner Christine Lahti, Tom Guiry (THE BLACK DONNELLYS), Golden Globe-nominee Linus Roache, and Academy Award-nominee Michael Lerner. An ode to old time gamblers, now outdated in an age of powerful upscale casinos, YONKERS JOE tells the story of a dice hustler (Palminteri) whose determination to make one last grab for a big score in Vegas is complicated by the reappearance of his estranged, mentally challenged son into his life. This film is rated R and is not recommended for young children. The series will continue on Friday, May 15, Saturday June, 27 and Saturday, July 11, with film titles to be announced at a later date. At least one of the titles in the series will be a family film. Check www.cinevegas.com/underthestars for specific movie details.
