Bill Murray Birthday Bash in Roanoke, Va., on Sept 21




We don't know if the Bill Murray movie that will be screened will in fact be Wes Anderson's "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" or not, but on Sept. 21, The Shadowbox Cinema in Roanoke, Va., will screen a Murray film in honor of his 60th birthday.

Murray has been in all kinds of films, ranging from art house dramas like "Broken Flowers" (2005) and "Lost in Translation" (2003) to cult comedies like "Groundhog Day" (1993) and "Kingpin" (1996).

Murray made a name for himself on "Saturday Night Life" before starring or co-starring in big screen blockbusters like "Caddyshack" (1980), "Stripes" (1981) and "Ghost Busters" (1984).

He is currently in the film "Get Low" with Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek, all three of whom were part-time or full-time residents of Virginia (Spacek still lives on a farm near Charlottesville). "Get Low" is playing at cinemas around the country, including the Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC.
