The Princess Bride Cast to Hold Reunion Script Reading, Fundraiser, for Democratic Party of Wisconsin
(WISCONSIN) — Today, Deadline Hollywood reported the cast of The Princess Bride will hold a re-union where they will hold a virtual script reading of the 1987 film to raise money for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. The participants will include Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Carol Kane, Chris Sarandon, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn, Bill Crystal, Rob Reiner, special guests, and Patton Oswalt will moderate a Q&A session.
People from around the world can sign-up here to donate and watch the reading on September 13th at 6:00 PM CT.
The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes released the following statement upon the announcement: “I think most people are aware by now that Donald Trump has completely abdicated his duties as President to represent and stand up for all Americans. He has failed to keep the country safe from COVID-19 and as a result he is responsible for the devastating chaos, violence and economic collapse that we are now experiencing. If America is going to have a real chance at healing we must get rid of Trump. And that is only possible if we win Wisconsin. I am thrilled to be part of this very rare reunion of my colleagues from The Princess Bride as a way to increase awareness and garner resources for the state that will determine the fate of America.”
Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler released the following statement upon the announcement: “The 2020 election is just like The Princess Bride: giants, monsters, chases, escapes, miracles. We’re thrilled that some of the world’s greatest stars are joining us to relive the magic of my favorite movie in the world and help us safely navigate the fire swamp of Wisconsin politics.”
