A redone version of \u201cRudy\u201d drew a sellout crowd to the IU Cinema on the Bloomington campus last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The version shown was a director’s cut, and director David Anspaugh said he was given carte blanche to do as he saw fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI got (full control) and did as I wanted; I really like it,\u201d Anspaugh told WZBD.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRudy\u201d was produced as a new 4K restoration with 13 minutes added to the film, taking its length to 127minutes in all. \u201cFour K and ultra depth,\u201d Anspaugh explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The showing was free but ticketed, and all tickets were distributed, with the theater offering a standby line the night of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCelebrate the 30th anniversary of the classic Hoosier football story with a brand-new Director’s Cut with director David Anspaugh, writer Angelo Pizzo, and subject Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger in person!\u201d the IU Cinema announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A question-and-answer session was held with the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rudy was filmed in 1992 and released in 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unique campus theater opened in January of 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s one of the best theaters in the world, a phenomenal place,\u201d said Decatur-native Anspaugh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IU Cinema hosts approximately 75-85 events per semester, screening films 4-5 days per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the nation\u2019s most prestigious arthouse cinema’s \u2026 IU Cinema uses film and cinema studies for intellectual edification and cultural emancipation,\u201d a theater publicity release says. \u201cIU Cinema’s programming is focused on the world\u2019s most entertaining, fascinating, and thought-provoking films \u2026”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can hear from prominent filmmakers and scholars, see rarely shown titles, and enjoy one-of-a-kind programs, like the premiere of a score for a silent movie. Because we want our events to be inclusive and accessible, about half of them are free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a couple of reviews of \u201cRudy\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Anspaugh directs this story as if he were conducting Bolero, carefully building climax upon climax as the story spirals to an underdog triumph.” \u2013 Johanna Steinmetz, Chicago Tribune<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A film that hits all the right emotional buttons, it’s an intelligent, sentimental drama that lifts an audience to its feet cheering.” \u2013 Leonard Klady, Variety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
