dx AMC Brings Back Diane Keaton Classics — Annie Hall & Something’s Gotta Give Shine Again!
AMC Theatres is releasing 1977’s “Annie Hall” and 2003’s “Something’s Gotta Give” in 100 cinemas nationwide in tribute to the late Diane Keaton, Variety has confirmed. Screenings will run for one week, starting on Friday.
Keaton died on Oct. 11 in Los Angeles after being rushed from her home to the hospital. The Oscar winner was 79.
“Annie Hall” earned Keaton her first Oscar nomination — and eventual win — for best actress in a leading role. Starring alongside her long-time paramour and creative collaborator Woody Allen, the film became widely considered among the best of her career and one of the most revered comedies of all time. The film follows Allen as Alvy Singer, who, in a surreal retelling, examines his failed relationship with nightclub singer Annie Hall, played by Keaton.
“Something’s Gotta Give,” which earned Keaton her fourth Oscar nomination for lead actress, was a box office smash upon its 2003 release, grossing $265 million worldwide against a budget of $80 million. Much like “Annie Hall,” the Nancy Meyers film boasted an A-list cast and tackled love and relationships in a nostalgic, romanticized cadence. The film follows Jack Nicholson as Harry Sanborn, an aging womanizer who falls for his much younger girlfriend’s mother, portrayed by Keaton, while vacationing together in the Hamptons.
Keaton also earned Oscar noms for best lead actress for her roles in 1982’s “Reds” and 1997’s “Marvin’s Room.” Her other notable credits include “The Godfather,” “Father of the Bride” and “Baby Boom.”
Tributes from Hollywood poured out on Saturday upon news of Keaton’s death. Allen broke his silence on his most beloved co-star in a Sunday night essay posted to The Free Press. He wrote, “It’s grammatically incorrect to say ‘most unique,’ but all rules of grammar, and I guess anything else, are suspended when talking about Diane Keaton. Unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again, her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered.”
Meyers also paid tribute to her star in an Instagram post on Monday. Along with a photo of Keaton, the Oscar-nominated director wrote, “As a woman, I lost a friend of almost 40 years – at times over those years, she felt like a sister because we shared so many truly memorable experiences. As a filmmaker, I’ve lost a connection with an actress that one can only dream of.”
