It seems that the movie is a much-loved one -- will the live-read stack up to it to some extent, given the limitations of such a performance?
The first trailer for the movie ( FOX) --
Here are some clips from the movie --

 A photo from that reading -- will the new live-read in Atlanta be something similar? Jo |

Reposting this from the JACKMAN ADVOCACIES thread --
William Goldman ( Novelist & Playwright; Oscar winner for 2 screenplays - Butch Cassidy & All The Presidents's Men; author/screenwriter of Princess Bride) must be very pleased to see the casting of Hugh Jackman in the LIVE READ.
Do you remember his fulsome praise of Hugh's performance in THE BOY FROM OZ -- he even predicted him as Star of the Decade!
He started off his review of TBFO and Hugh with this ( he is not exactly a theatre reviewer, but given his fame people simply savored his words) --

It looks like Jason Reitman enjoys doing dramatic readings of PRINCESS BRIDE. He also did it at the Toronto International Film Festival ( TIFF) in 2015! www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jason-reitmans-princess-bride-live-822681Lol - Hugh will have so many actors preceding him in this beloved role  I wonder how he will give it his distinctive and memorable interpretation  I wish... I could be in Atlanta next weekend! I do love watching Hugh in live dramatic stagings! He has tremendous presence, great chops, and quick instinctive quips and reactions... and he holds the audience in the palm of his hand  Where's my fairy godmother with her magic wand and her flying coach?(Cinder)Jo |

http://instagr.am/p/BaCkDy3FC98 Sorry, Instagram is not cooperating Please click on the second image/message for the poster for the Atlanta Live Read -- www.instagram.com/jasonreitman/Borrowed this image from his Twitter post --  The poster features the iconic swordfight! Hey, Jackman is a trained actor for swordfighting scenes. Remember PAN? Plus he used a wooden stake to fight the sword of Javert in LES MISERABLES's THE CONFRONTATION. He is also a certified huge action star! I wonder if a mock swordfight will be introduced in the live-read for comic relief? Jo |

I wonder if they are considering filming/recording the event and sell the video ( DVD) as part of their fund-raising to benefit Puerto Rico recovery?
