Beginning on January 27th, Talking Heads’ groundbreaking concert film, Stop Making Sense, will be back in select theaters for another go-around after its initial 4K re-release last fall. What’s more, a collector’s edition Blu-ray will be available to purchase at every screening.
The Stop Making Sense theatrical re-release comes via A24, which acquired the film’s worldwide rights to coincide with its 40th anniversary. There will be “monthly residency screenings” in cities including Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and more.

Earlier this month, A24 teased a Stop Making Sense tribute album that will feature a cover of “Burning Down the House” by Paramore. It’s also set to feature 15 other artists that have yet to be announced.
Last August, Talking Heads released a deluxe edition of the Stop Making Sense soundtrack featuring remastered audio of the full setlist and two previously unreleased songs: “Cities” and “Big Business / I Zimbra.”
The following month, the group reunited at the Toronto International Film Festival screening of Stop Making Sense, which they followed with an appearance on Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
