An Evening With John Cusack and Screening of Say Anything

Making his debut at the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, John Cusack brings his celebrated career and iconic film legacy to Clearwater for an unforgettable evening with a screening of his critically acclaimed 1989 film, Say Anything, hosted by three-time Emmy® award-winning Charley Belcher. Released in 1989, Say Anything, stars John Cusack as well as Ione Skye and John Mahoney.  The film tells the story of high school senior Lloyd Dobler (Cusack) who wants nothing more than to go out with beautiful and intelligent Diane Court (Skye).  Lloyd attempts to win her heart over the objections of her over-protective father (Mahoney) before Diane leaves for a scholarship in England. The film was directed by Cameron Crowe, making his directorial debut. John Cusack first gained the attention of audiences by starring in a number of 1980’s film classics such as Say Anything, The Sure Thing and Sixteen Candles.  Following these roles, Cusack successfully shed his teen-heartthrob image by demonstrating his ability to expand his film repertoire by starring in a wide range of dramas, thrillers and comedies including The Grifters, Eight Men Out, Being John Malkovich, High Fidelity and Gross Pointe Blank. In recent years, Cusack has starred in a wide variety of films, including Bill Pohland’s Love and Mercury in which he played iconic Beach Boys songwriter and musician Brian Wilson, and in David Cronenberg’s Maps to the Stars, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Three-time Emmy® award-winning feature reporter Charley Belcher airs Monday through Friday mornings on Good Day Tampa Bay in a segment called Charley's World. They are stories about people and events in the Tampa Bay area all told from Charley's creative perspective. Charley was born in Ft. Myers and grew up right here in the Tampa Bay area -- Pasco County to be exact. He received a degree in broadcasting at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. *Actual time for VIP activities will be communicated by email within 24-48 hours of event date.
