The cult classic film returns for a two-day celebratory global fan event
Trafalgar Releasing, Sony Music Entertainment and RCA Records have announced plans to bring Crossroads, starring Britney Spears in her first feature role, to cinemas worldwide on October 23rd and 25th for a special global fan event. The Crossroads Global Fan Event will coincide with the release of Spears’ highly anticipated memoir, The Woman In Me, available worldwide on October 24th. The 2002 film, written by Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and Executive Producer of Bridgerton) and directed by Tamra Davis (13: The Musical, Dead To Me, Billy Madison), features a star-studded cast including Britney Spears, Anson Mount, Zoë Saldana, Taryn Manning, with Kim Cattrall and Dan Aykroyd.
Tickets for the Crossroads Global Fan Event will go on sale September 28th at 9 am EDT at crossroadsfanevent.com. The film will be distributed in over 875 locations across 24 countries.
The Crossroads Global Fan Event will also include a bonus sing-along of two Britney Spears’ songs from Crossroads following the film, which have never been seen on the big screen.
Crossroads tells the story of three childhood friends, Lucy (Spears), Kit (Zoë Saldana) and Mimi (Taryn Manning), who, after eight years apart, rediscover their friendship on a cross-country trip. With barely a plan, and practically no money but plenty of dreams, the girls catch a lift with Mimi’s handsome friend Ben (Anson Mount) in his convertible. Along the way they not only gather experiences that will change their lives, but they also discover how important it is to hold onto their hearts’ desires.
Crossroads, which premiered in 2002, has gone on to become a fan favorite following its original US release, generating more than $61 million globally. The announcement marks the first time, in recent years, that the film has been widely available since its original theatrical release date.
The Crossroads Global Fan Event is part of a major investment and promotion of the classic film. On October 20th, RCA Records will release Crossroads: Special Edition, a soundtrack to accompany the re-release of the 2002 classic film. In addition to fan favorites, the album will include three new Britney Spears remixes: “Overprotected” (Richi Lopez Remix), “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” (Snakehips Remix) and “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” (Frank Walker Remix). Additionally, the re-release will include the launch of a Crossroads merchandise line featuring movie-inspired tees, sweats, jackets and more, in addition to recreations of wardrobe worn by the cast from the film itself.
