Hilton Hotels & Resorts has partnered with Bleecker Street for the
release of Danny Collins, a movie about second chances,
connection and staying true to yourself. Set primarily at Hilton
Woodcliff Lake in New Jersey, the film stars Al Pacino, Annette Bening,
Jennifer Garner, Bobby Cannavale and Christopher Plummer and is based on
the inspiring story of one musician who turns his life around after
discovering a 40-year-old letter written to him by John Lennon.
Hilton Hotels & Resorts partnered with Bleecker Street for the release of Danny Collins, starring Al Pacino. The film is primarily set at Hilton Woodcliff Lake in New Jersey.
“Hilton has a long and rich history in both film and music – in fact
John Lennon wrote the lyrics to Imagine at Hilton New York
Midtown,” said Rob Palleschi, global head, full service brands, Hilton
Worldwide. “So we are proud to have partnered with new distribution
company Bleecker Street in bringing this great story to life. For almost
100 years, Hilton has been setting the stage for our guests to create
inspiring new memories and stories in their lives, just as Danny Collins
does in this movie.
“Hilton has long helped to create memorable moments in entertainment and
has supported the film from the onset. We’re proud to partner with them
in bringing the film to Hilton guests nationwide,” said Andrew Karpen,
CEO of Bleecker Street.
Set to release in theaters March 20, Hilton Woodcliff Lake will host a
special event on March 15 with a screening at the Ramsey Theater in New
Jersey, followed by a Q&A with writer/director Dan Fogelman.
To build excitement for the film’s release across the country, Hilton
Hotels & Resorts will also launch a number of Danny Collins-themed
promotions and activities, including:
-
Steinway grand pianos similar to the piano featured in the film will
be placed in the hotel lobbies of The Beverly Hilton, New York Hilton
Midtown and Palmer House, A Hilton Hotel March 23-29
-
A Danny Collins-inspired cocktail will be available at all U.S.
properties beginning March 23
-
Custom notepads will be placed in-room at 79 key market U.S. hotels
where guests will be encouraged to write what inspires them, then take
a picture and share using #hiltonstory for a chance to win movie
tickets.
