Sarah Michelle Gellar

"Phil, any chance I’ll be able to see ’Southland Tales’ here in Tucson instead of having to drive up to Phoenix?"

— Bill Davis

Bill, the apocalyptic opus from Richard Kelly ("Donnie Darko") won’t skip a Tucson release, as "Darko" did.

The Loft will open the troubled comedy/drama on Jan. 11. The film, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, the Rock, Mandy Moore and Seann William Scott, bombed at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, but was recut and given limited release Nov. 14, pulling in less than $300,000 domestically.

If you miss out on the Loft screenings, the DVD release is expected to be in April.

It’s no longer playing in Phoenix.
