Diane Keaton films returning to 100 theaters nationwide to honor late actress
Diane Keaton's films will play in theaters nationwide following the beloved actress's death on Oct. 11 at age 79.
AMC Theaters will screen two classic Keaton movies, "Annie Hall" and "Something's Gotta Give," at select theaters starting Oct. 17, according to a Facebook post from the company.
The films will hit 100 theaters across the country for a one-week run.
Keaton's 1977 classic "Annie Hall," directed by Woody Allen -- who also starred in the film -- scored Keaton an Oscar for best actress in a leading role.
The film tells the story of Alvy (Allen), a comedy writer who tries to decipher his failed relationship with his ex, the titular Annie (Keaton).
In addition to Keaton's best actress award, the film also earned awards for best picture, best director and best screenplay.
Keaton's 2003 rom-com classic "Something's Gotta Give" starred the late actress alongside Jack Nicholson, Keanu Reeves, Amanda Peet, Frances McDormand, Paul Michael Glaser, Jon Favreau and KaDee Strickland.
In the film, Keaton plays Erica Barry, a playwright in the Hamptons, while Nicholson plays Harry Sanborn, a wealthy New York City record company owner. Despite clashing personalities, the two find themselves forced together and eventually begin to develop feelings for one another.
Keaton was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in the movie.
Nancy Meyers, director of "Something's Gotta Give" reacted to Keaton's death on social media Monday, writing in part, "She was fearless, she was like nobody ever, she was born to be a movie star, her laugh could make your day and for me, knowing her and working with her - changed my life. Thank you Di. I'll miss you forever."
Keaton rose to fame in the 1970s with her role as Kay Adams in the "Godfather" films and her acclaimed collaborations with Allen, including "Play It Again, Sam" and "Sleeper."
Known for her offbeat humor and timeless fashion sense, she went on to star in a string of hits spanning generations, from "Baby Boom" and "Father of the Bride" to "The First Wives Club" and the "Book Club" franchise.
