How are you producing the tour?
Netflix has teamed up with Austin's Alamo Drafthouse to produce the Rolling Roadshow.
Named by Entertainment Weekly as the nation's number one movie theater in 2005, the Alamo specializes in unique movie watching experiences.
On the wagon and out of lucrative work thanks to his alcoholism and family troubles, aspiring novelist Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) accepts a position as the off-season custodian at an elegant but eerie hotel so he can write undisturbed. But shortly after Jack, his wife (Shelley Duvall) and his young son (Danny Lloyd) settle in, the ominous hotel begins to wield its sinister power in this chilling horror classic helmed by Stanley Kubrick.
