Brolin’s coming but Madsen’s a no show at SLO film fest

Film festivals and awards

This just in:

Michael Madsen can’t make it to the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival this weekend.

Due to “personal issues,” the actor best known for his roles in “Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill” will have to skip his scheduled appearances on Saturday and Sunday, Executive Director Wendy Eidson announced this morning.

However, organizers will screen two of Madsen’s films: the boxing drama “Strength and Honor” (noon, Saturday, Downtown Centre Cinemas) and “Through Your Eyes,” a documentary about deaf-blind triplets (4 p.m., Sunday, Palm Theatre).

“No Country for Old Men” star Josh Brolin is still scheduled to appear this afternoon at a screening of his short film “X.”

The movie, Brolin’s directorial debut, co-stars his daughter, Eden Brolin, and features music by his son, Trevor.

Vincent Riverside stars as a guilt-ridden, escaped inmate searching for his murdered wife’s body.

Meet Brolin and get insights from SLO County’s former native son this afternoon at 4 p.m. at Downtown Centre Cinemas, 888 Marsh St., San Luis Obispo.
