For Collider’s next special screening, we’re thrilled to announce we’re partnering with Paramount Pictures’ Republic Pictures to offer Los Angeles audiences an exciting opportunity. To kick off the Halloween season, join us for an early screening of director and producer Max Minghella’s horror-comedy Shell, starring Kate Hudson and Elisabeth Moss. Following the movie, guests will be treated to a live Q&A with Minghella. Read on for the full details on how you can enter for your chance to win free tickets. Shell follows aging actress, Samantha Lake (Moss), who’s coming to terms with an ugly truth: physical beauty carries a lot of weight within the industry. Armed with talent but losing roles to younger actresses, Samantha resorts to more drastic measures with Shell, a health and wellness program that offers confidence through innovative, experimental means. Intrigued by the company’s CEO, Zoe Shannon (Hudson), Samantha agrees to undergo Shell’s mysterious procedure. Soon, however, things take a sinister turn when Samantha experiences alarming side effects, and another Shell patient goes missing. Written by Jack Stanley, the mind behind 2023’s The Passenger, Shell also stars Arian Moayed (House of Spoils), Este Haim (Licorice Pizza), Elizabeth Berkley (Showgirls), and Kaia Gerber (Bottoms).
