**Screenwriter**: Jason Reitman from the novel by Christopher Buckley **Producer**: David Sacks Vidiots is thrilled to welcome writer/director **Jason Reitman** for a special 20th Anniversary screening of his addictive satire *Thank You for Smoking*, followed by a conversation with Reitman! Based on Christopher Buckley’s acclaimed 1994 novel of the same title and adapted for the screen by Jason Reitman, *Thank You for Smoking* is a fiercely satirical look at today’s culture of spin! Aaron Eckhart stars as Nick Naylor, a sexy, charismatic spin-doctor for Big Tobacco who’ll fight to protect America’s right to smoke – even if it kills him. When he incurs the wrath of a senator (William H. Macy) bent on snuffing out cigarettes, Nick’s powers of “filtering the truth” will be put to the test. With a smokin’ all-star cast that includes Rob Lowe, Maria Bello, Katie Holmes, Adam Brody and Robert Duvall, this hilarious comedy will prove seriously addictive! **Picks from the Video Store** Bring home more of Jason Reitman’s films on glorious physical media tonight! *Up in the Air, Saturday Night, Tully* and more! **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
