DC Readers: Attend A Free Early Screening Of ‘Nimona’

We’re happy to offer our DMV readers the chance to attend a free early screening of Netflix’s upcoming animated sci-fi adventure, Nimona! The film is based on ND Stevenson’s award-winning graphic novel and features the voices of Chloë Grace Moretz, Riz Ahmed, and Eugene Lee Yang.

Synopsis: When Ballister Boldheart (Riz Ahmed), a knight in a futuristic medieval world, is framed for a crime he didn’t commit, the only one who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona (Chloë Grace Moretz), a mischievous teen with a taste for mayhem — who also happens to be a shapeshifting creature he’s been trained to destroy. But with the entire kingdom out to get him, Nimona’s the best (or technically the only) sidekick Ballister can hope for. And as the lines between heroes, villains, and monsters start to blur, the two of them set out to wreak serious havoc — for Ballister to clear his name once and for all, and for Nimona to…just wreak serious havoc.

The screening takes place Saturday, June 24th at 11:00am at Cinemark Fairfax Corner. If you’d like to attend, simply RSVP here. Please remember all screenings are first come first served and you’ll need to arrive early to ensure seating. Enjoy the show!

Nimona streams on Netflix beginning June 30th.
