Hey I have a question on the screening itself, and it may be best to answer me via email if you actually read this: is Dax Shepard and/or Kristen Bell gonna be at the screening for a Q&A after? I speculate this because they’ve been at every single screening of this film when it’s been screened in other places around the country.

Duel is a 1971 television (and later full-length theatrical) film starring Dennis Weaver, who plays a terrified motorist stalked on a remote and lonely road by the unseen driver of a mysterious tanker truck. It was written by Richard Matheson, based on his own short story, and directed by Steven Spielberg in his feature film directing debut.
