SXSW 08: Go All-In with 21

IGN.com reports that The 15th annual South by Southwest Film Festival is going "all in" and announcing that the upcoming Vegas card-shark film, 21, will officially kick-off the cinematic festivities. The true story of six M.I.T. students who pioneered the now illegal art of card-counting and took Vegas for millions will screen at Austin's Paramount Theater, on Friday, March 7, 2008 to launch nine days of screenings, parties and panel sessions. The film stars Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, and Laurence Fishburne.


"We're thrilled to have 21 screen as the Opening Night Film of SXSW 2008," says Festival Producer Matt Dentler. "With a great story, as well as fantastic talent in front of and behind the camera, we're willing to bet that audiences will be just as excited."
