Hollywood A-List Directors Join Forces to Purchase Iconic LA Theater

Jason Reitman and a coalition of 35 filmmakers, including Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and Bradley Cooper, have purchased Westwood's historic Village Theater with the mission to preserve the architectural gem and create a cultural landmark dedicated to the moviegoing experience. The theater, known for its soaring tower and large screen, will showcase artifacts from the filmmakers' personal collections and remain open while plans for a restaurant, bar, and gallery are finalized. The group aims to celebrate cinema and community, with plans for the theater to mark its hundredth year in operation in 2031.
