Party Monster Recieves Date For UK Premiere

Macaulay Culkin’s new gay movie is set to premier in the UK at Edinburgh’s Film Festival this month. Party Monster , will receive its premiere on the 22nd August at the festival, after touring the world’s major gay and straight film festivals. The film tells the story of Michael Alig (Culkin) and his friend and lover James St James (Seth Green), stars of the late 1980s New York underground club scene, and charts their eccentric rise and slow demise, ending with Alig murdering a drug dealing friend. The film also stars Kids star Chloe Sevigny and Marilyn Manson, and has received wide spread acclaim for its performances.
It is based on the book Disco Bloodbath , written by St James, which charts the friendship he shared with Alig before the hedonism of the 80s led to his breakdown.
