Greg Sestero’s The Disaster Artist book launch + The Room screening at Gorilla

The Room actor Greg Sestero is set to embark on a Q&A tour to launch his new book which documents his memories of making the film. The questionable accolades of ‘worst movie ever made’ and ‘so bad it’s good’ have proven to be blessings in disguise for Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, which has been afforded cult hit status and is now programmed by RAD Screenings at Gorilla to mark its co-star Greg Sestero’s new book, The Disaster Artist. The book itself has also been picked up for dramatisation by James Franco, who’ll direct a major remake due for release in 2017, but for now, this event boasts book readings, scene reenactments and insider film trivia by Sestero, followed by a screening of the original film.
