After selling out of tickets for the Saturday, Sept. 14 screening of Viggo Mortensen’s newest film The Dead Don’t Hurt, the Panida Theater announced Sept. 4 that Mortensen has agreed to one additional night on Friday, Sept. 13.

The now two-day event is a fundraiser for the Panida Theater and KRFY 88.5 FM Community Radio, where Mortensen will sit for a Q&A with the audience after the film.

This isn’t the first time Mortensen has lent his star power to worthy local causes. The three-time Academy Award nominee for Best Actor also came to the Panida for his film Captain Fantastic in 2017 and A Dangerous Method in 2012.
