John Cusack coming to Chandler for special ‘High Fidelity’ screening

Chandler Center for the Arts announces An Evening with John Cusack with a special screening of “High Fidelity.”

The event starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 17 at Chandler Center for the Arts, 250 N. Arizona Ave., in downtown Chandler.

The Hollywood icon will take the stage to answer questions and have a conversation with the audience, after a special screening of “High Fidelity.” He will share stories from his career and give a behind-the-scenes look into his role as Rob Gordon, a character that had him nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

Tickets start at $39 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday July 28 at chandlercenter.org or by calling 480-782-2680. A VIP package includes a post-show photo with Cusack.

With a career spanning more than 40 years, Cusack first gained notice in the 1980s appearing in movies like the Rob Reiner classic “The Sure Thing” and the John Hughes film “Say Anything.” After making Lloyd Dobler’s trench coat and boombox iconic, he went on to make other well-known films, including “The Grifters,” “Grosse Pointe Blank,” “Being John Malkovich,” “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” “The Thin Red Line” and others.

“High Fidelity” is a classic rom-com based on the novel written by Nick Hornby, debuting in 2000. Cusack plays a record store owner and obsessive list-maker. Talking to the camera, rattling off his top five lists, Cusack’s character made every music nerd and vinyl junky feel like there had finally been a romance movie made for them.
