Christopher Walken and William H. Macy, stars of the made-in-Boston flick "The Maiden Heist," are slotted to offer a sneak peek of their art-heist comedy at Worcester's Hanover Theatre at 7:30 p.m. March 7, 2009.Initially unveiled at the American Film Market in Santa Monica last November to strong reviews, the screening in March will mark its world premiere with a national release scheduled for May 2009.
"The Maiden Heist," formerly known as "The Lonely Maiden," stars Walken, Macy and Morgan Freeman in a comedy of errors following three museum security guards and their attempt to steal artwork after it's been transferred to another museum.
Proceeds from the movie gala will benefit The Worcester Art Museum. The WAM's Renaissance Court and art galleries were transformed into the film's scene of the crime back in December 2007. Boston locations include South Boston's Murphy's Law and the fire-destroyed The Grecian Yearning in Allston.
The film's director Peter Hewitt, producer Rob Paris and screenwriter Michael LeSieur are also scheduled to attend the premiere.
