Klipsch Audio Technologies Hosts Premieres of Independent Films 'Black Snake Moan' and 'Chapter 27'

Leader in Home Entertainment and Audio Technology Champions Independent Films

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Klipsch Audio Technologies announced today that it is hosting the upcoming post-premiere parties for two of Sundance Film Festival's most anticipated films: "Black Snake Moan," starring Samuel L. Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Christina Ricci, and "Chapter 27," with Jared Leto and Lindsay Lohan. The post-premiere party for "Black Snake Moan" will be held on January 24 and "Chapter 27's" will be held on January 25 in Park City, UT. Both events promise to be main destinations for top stars, and will serve as a celebration of Klipsch Audio Technologies' growing commitment to organically supporting cinema's most compelling independent films.

"Klipsch Audio Technologies has chosen to support 'Black Snake Moan' and 'Chapter 27' because these two extraordinary films and its stars echo our core values of power, detail and emotion," said Judy Klipsch, Vice Chairman of the Klipsch Group. "Partnering with these films and supporting their releases is a natural fit for the brand, as the stars in these films have made successful crossovers from film to music, music to film, just as Klipsch has expanded beyond its core strength of audio technology to achieve greatness."

The collaboration between both films and Klipsch, a leader in home entertainment and audio technology, is part of the company's ongoing involvement in the entertainment industry at large. As part of their commitment to supporting the film industry, in 2005, Klipsch outfitted the historical Aidikoff Theater in Beverly Hills with a state-of-the-art cinema sound system in order to provide the ultimate sound experience for screenings for celebrities, industry influencers and the press. In addition, Klipsch has executed numerous entertainment marketing initiatives in both film and music at marquee events such as the MTV Video Music Awards, the ESPY Awards, the Grammys, and the Sundance Film Festival.

About the Films:

"Black Snake Moan," a Paramount Vantage film, stars Samuel L. Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Ricci. Set in a small Tennessee town, "Black Snake Moan" tells the story of two unlikely souls who are about to be drawn together at the sticky crossroads between rage and love. It will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24.

"Chapter 27" is set in New York City, December 1980 and tells the story of a young man, Mark David Chapman (Jared Leto), who arrives in New York with the intent to kill John Lennon.

Scheduled to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, "Chapter 27" also stars Lindsay Lohan as Judy, a fan of John Lennon who makes friends with Chapman.
