We’re happy to offer our DC readers the chance to attend a free early screening of Universal and Dreamworks’ Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken!
SYNOPSIS: Sometimes the hero you are meant to be lies just beneath the surface.
Sweet, awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman (Lana Condor, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before franchise) is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High, but she mostly just feels invisible. She’s math-tutoring her skater-boy crush (Jaboukie Young-White, Ralph Breaks the Internet), who only seems to admire her for her fractals, and she’s prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because her over-protective supermom (Oscar® nominee Toni Collette, Knives Out), has forbade Ruby from ever getting in the water. But when she breaks her mom’s #1 rule, Ruby will discover that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother (Academy Award® winner Jane Fonda), the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas. The Kraken are sworn to protect the oceans of the world against the vain, power-hungry mermaids who have been battling with the Kraken for eons. There’s one major, and immediate, problem with that: The school’s beautiful, popular new girl, Chelsea (Emmy winner Annie Murphy, Schitt’s Creek) just happens to be a mermaid. Ruby will ultimately need to embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves most.
The screening takes place Saturday, June 24th at 11:00AM at Regal Majestic in Silver Spring. If you’d to attend, RSVP at the Gofobo link here. Please remember all screenings are first come first served and you’ll need to arrive early to ensure seat. Enjoy the show.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken opens in theaters on June 30th.
