DC Readers: Attend A Free Early Screening Of ‘The Substance’

We’re happy to offer our DC readers the chance to attend a free early screening of The Substance, the Cannes sensation starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

SYNOPSIS: Demi Moore gives a career best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid). She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: THE SUBSTANCE. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong?

The screening takes place on Wednesday, September 11th at 7:00pm at Regal Majestic. If you’d like to attend, RSVP using the Google form here. Please remember, all screenings are first come first served and you will want to arrive early to ensure seating. Enjoy the show!

The Substance opens in theaters September 20th.
