Fantastic Fest presents OFFICE SPACE 10-Year Reunion!


Mike Judge's OFFICE SPACE came out 10 years ago this February, but it only took a few months to become a classic. There's just something so familiar hidden in every frame of the film, we don't exactly know whether to laugh or cry or both. And long before that luxury flophouse, AMERICAN BEAUTY, came out, it was OFFICE SPACE that ignited in us all that Joe Schmo fantasy of finally saying fuck it, I'm out. God, how sweet would that be?

Well, through praise and persistence, SXSW and Fantastic Fest are bringing to Austin the most fantastic, fax-smashic event in the history of cinema- the OFFICE SPACE 10 Year Anniversary Reunion! Join us at the historic Paramount Theater on February 8, where the mastermind himself, Mike Judge, will be there to preside over the night's festivies of film and fun.

Expect an deluge of cast and crew to nearly crush the foundation of the Paramount! More confirmations coming in every day- David Herman (Michael Bolten) just confirmed this morning! Check the Alamo Drafthouse Showpage for up-to-the-minute updates about this colossal celebration.

We expect tickets to go fast (we just saw that in Texas alone, 34,000 facebooker's have OFFICE SPACE listed as thier favorite film!), so mark your calendars...

2009 Fantastic Fest and SXSW badge holders get a two day head start. Starting Thursday, January 15, at noon, all 2009 badge-holders will have super-secret password access to purchase tickets at either the Paramount box office our through gettix.net. Special instructions went out via email to badge-holders already, so if you didn't receive one and are a current Fantastic Fest 2009 badge holder, email us to find out how.

Tickets to the general public will go on sale on Saturday, January 17, at noon- act quickly!

If you really want to celebrate in style, a very limited number of VIP tickets will be on sale which will include a pre-event cocktail reception, a limited edition event souvenir, flair, an actual red Swingline stapler, and an after-party at Chotchkie's featuring pizza shooters, shrimp poppers and extreme fajitas!

This is a dream come true.

    Is there any way to find out exactly what the events will be before and after the screening (for non-VIPs, I didn't hear anything about this until yesterday when I saw an ad on Facebook). We have to drive down from Dallas and take time off work so if you have any further information it would be most appreciated!!

    Will information be sent to VIP ticket holders re: pre and post events?

    How pathetic. Why do badge holders for SXSW get an edge on this?

    Want to make sure that all the big douchebags get to do?
