The City of Enderby will play host to the film premiere of Blackway, a Hollywood movie shot in North Okanagan.

“It's a one-night-only premiere on June 2,” said Los Angeles-based producer Rick Dugdale, who comes from Enderby. “The film opens nationwide on June 10.”

Produced by Dugdale's company, Enderby Entertainment, the movie stars Anthony Hopkins, Julia Stiles and Ray Liotta.

It's about an ex-logger who comes to the aid of a woman in the Pacific Northwest and finds herself harassed and stalked by a former cop turned crime lord.

The only place to see the movie in Enderby is at the local Starlight Drive-in and that's where Blackway will get its first screening.

“It's a private event but we're giving away all of the tickets,” said Dugdale.

He said fans and supporters should start monitoring Enderby Entertainment's Facebook page early next week to find out how to get tickets.

“We shot a video to show people how to get tickets,” Dugdale said.

Dugdale said a number of movie theatres in the Okanagan and Shuswap would be showing Blackway starting June 10, including Vernon's Towne Cinema.

Meanwhile, the movie producer and his staff return to the Okanagan next month in search of an eerie lake house for another film production.

Dugdale said they'll be using a helicopter to view possible locations found by the Okanagan Film Commission.
