Kurt Russell will talk about John Carpenter’s kung fu epic Big Trouble in Little China at this year’s Beyond Fest in Los Angeles, the event announced Thursday. The discussion will be moderated by Russell’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn and will be accompanied by a screening of Big Trouble to mark its 30th anniversary.

The genre festival is showing a number of other vintage films, including Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm: Remastered, George A. Romero’s undead classic Dawn of the Dead — which will be presented in 3D — and The Beyond, accompanied by a live performance from composer Fabio Frizzi and his seven-piece orchestra. Meanwhile, Stanley Kubrick’s science fiction classic 2001: A Space Odyssey will screen in 70mm with a Q&A featuring stars Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood.
