Captions Added by Theater to Film
A theater in Austin, Texas has added open captioning to the Oscar nominated film There will be Blood. The Alamo Drafthouse Ritz Theater made the move after the studio decided not to release a caption disk to go along with the movie. The film is significant to the Deaf community because Russell Harvard appears in the film as HW Plainview, the deaf son of the main character. Plainview becomes deaf after an explosion at his father's oil derrick. Harvard attended the Texas School for the Deaf, and is a deaf actor who landed his first movie role in the film.
