The Charleston Music Hall announced that the “Napoleon Dynamite – Film & Conversation w/ Jon Heder” event will return to the downtown venue on Friday, January 21st at 8 pm.
The beloved indie classic Napoleon Dynamite was made almost 15 years ago. Since then much has changed; but the characters, as enduring as they are endearing, stay in our hearts. Event is BYOT (Bring Your Own Tots). Public On-Sale begins Friday, August 6th at 10 am.
Appealing to the inner-teenager in each of us, the story, and more importantly the dialogue, makes Napoleon Dynamite one of the most quoted movies of our time.
This unique evening includes a full screening of Napoleon Dynamite followed by a moderated discussion with the movie’s star actor Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite). The actor's portrayal of the nerdy high schooler brought him two MTV Movie Awards, one in the category of “Breakthrough Male” and a second for “Best Musical Performance” for his crowd-pleasing election night dance.
In spring 2007, Heder starred opposite Will Ferrell in the hit comedy Blades of Glory, which took in close to $120 million dollars at the domestic box office. In addition to his live-action roles, Heder also returned to animation that year voicing the character of “Chicken Joe” in Columbia Pictures' Surfs Up, after previously voicing a role in Columbia's Monster House.
Heder also starred in the feature films The Benchwarmers, School for Scoundrels, and Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffallo. Additionally, he starred opposite Paul Dano in the Sundance hit, For Ellen.
