We're almost at the end of our interviews for Rio Brava, our documentary on the Rio Theatre's more recent years and indie theatres in the age of Cineplex. Our penultimate interview (for now) took place on the Rio stage with Greg Sestero, who came to prominence in Tommy Wiseau's The Room (2003), then co-wrote a book about it (The Disaster Artist, 2013) that became a 2017 film (the book option handshake with James Franco took place at the Rio, where Sestero and Franco met). Sestero was at the Rio last night for a screening of The Room and, as is custom now when screening the film, a pre-screening "live" reading from a segment of Wiseau's original screenplay.
(By the way, is it me or does it look like the giant projected image of Wiseau is about to nudge Sestero off the stage with the back of his left arm?)
