Yes, seriously. Those cheeky bastards at the Pioneer Theater here in New York are capitalizing on our apparently inexhaustible appetite for Paris' prison stint by programming a series of women-in-prison flicks throughout the summer. "See The Horrors Paris Hilton Saw!!!" promises the event's website.
So far two films have been programmed, with more apparently on the way. Caged, screening on July 14 and 16, stars Eleanor Parker as Marie, whose "harsh experiences turn her from doe-eyed innocent to hard-nosed con." Then, come back the following week for Shadow: Dead Riot. The trailer, embedded above, promises "cellblock vixens vs. a legion of carnal crazed zombies!" Nathan Lee, writing in the New York Times, blurbs Shadow as "obviously the greatest zombie flick ever set in an experimental women's prison."
I'm absolutely positive Paris would be able relate to such horrors, and so is the Pioneer. The website also promises that "two seats reserved at each screening for Paris Hilton, if she would like to join us - and perhaps hold a q&a after the screening."
