You’re Next Graffiti Art: Is Banksy at Fantastic Fest?

A cool bit of graffiti art popped up overnight at Fantastic Fest for Adam Wingard’s buzz film You’re Next , which screens later tonight. Passes to the hotly anticipated horror pic, which was picked up by Lionsgate after a Toronto Film Festival bidding war, sold out quickly online and with fest faves A.J. Bowen and director Ti West (who both star in the film) in town it’s one of the hot tickets for tonight. Is Banksy in our midst as well, spraying movie promos all over Austin? Or Mr. Brainwash? (Or both, if they’re the same person??)

It’s the first sale of a film this year during the festival proper, with more expected to follow in the days ahead. Stay tuned here for details as events warrant… [ IFC Films ]
