Live in Chicago? Capone has seats for an preview screening of NBC's "Revolution" pilot, produced by J.J. Abrams & Eric Kripke, and directed by Jon Favreau!!!

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.







It's not often we give away seats to a TV pilot screening, but it's not often that there's a pilot with the pedigree of "Revolution," a show produced by J.J. Abrams & Eric Kripke and whose pilot episode is directed by John Favreau. Hey look, a press release about "Revolution":


What would you do without it all? In this epic adventure from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions and "Supernatural's" Eric Kripke, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology--omputers, planes, cars, phones, even lights--has mysteriously blacked out forever. A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, "Revolution" is also about family--both the family you're born into and the family you choose.

This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos, "Being Human"), and her brother Danny (Graham Rogers, "Memphis Beat"). When Danny is kidnapped by militia leaders for a darker purpose, Charlie must reconnect with her estranged uncle Miles (Billy Burke, "The Twilight Saga"), a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if--or how--it will ever return.

The series also stars Anna Lise Phillips ("Animal Kingdom") as Maggie, Zak Orth ("Romeo + Juliet) as Aaron, JD Pardo ("A Cinderella Story") as Nate, Giancarlo Esposito ("Breaking Bad") as Captain Tom Neville, David Lyons ("The Cape") as Bass, Maria Howell ("The Blind Side") as Grace, Daniella Alonso ("Friday Night Lights") as Nora, Tim Guinee ("Iron Man") as Ben Matheson and Elizabeth Mitchell ("Lost") as Rachel Matheson. Kripke, Abrams and Bryan Burk ("Lost," "Star Trek") serve as executive producers, and Jon Favreau ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") serves as co-executive producer. "Revolution" is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Bad Robot Productions, Kripke Enterprises and Warner Bros. Television. The pilot was directed by Favreau.


There are actually theatrical screenings of the pilot in select cities around the countries this Thursday, September 6 (the show's actual premiere is Monday, September 17 on NBC), and I've got 50 seats to the Chicago preview taking place at the Kerosotes Showcase ICON Theater, 150 W. Roosevelt Road at 8:00pm. Here's how to win:

Unlike my other contests, you won't be sending any emails. Instead, go to this Gofobo Page to claim your passes. There are no reserved seats for this event, so it's a first-come, first-to-get-in screening. If you can't arrive early, don't bother RSVPing for tickets. I believe you may RSVP for up to 2 admit-one tickets. These will likely go very fast, so don't delay.

Good luck and enjoy, everyone!
