SXSW begins tonight with ‘Kick-Ass’ and ‘Predators’

SXSW kicks off tonight in Austin, TX with two big events. First, Robert Rodriguez is hosting a “first look” at Predators at the Alamo Ritz Theater in downtown Austin. Predators, the latest chapter in the Predator universe, was partially shot on location at Rodriguez’s Austin-based Troublemaker Studios. The film stars Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, and Laurence Fishburne.

Also happening tonight, the movie Kick-Ass is premiering at the Paramount in Austin. Kick-Ass tells the story of teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero.
