METALLICA's resident film buff, drummer Lars Ulrich, is back hosting another screening, this time of the thriller "The Neon Demon". Kick off your holiday weekend on Friday, July 1 as Lars will be joining fellow Dane, director Nicolas Winding Refn, for a question-and-answer session immediately following the 7:00 p.m. showing at the Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco, California. Nicolas Winding Refn is the award-winning director of critically acclaimed films "Bronson", the "Pusher" series and "Drive", among others. "The Neon Demon" tells the story of an aspiring young model (Elle Fanning) who moves to Los Angeles, but is quickly surrounded by very dangerous jealous women from the fashion world.

Ulrich was also seen as himself in the 2010 comedy "Get Him To The Greek" and played Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens in the 2012 HBO film "Hemingway & Gellhorn".
