'Dazed and Confused' Cast To Reunite For Livestreamed Script Reading

The original cast of the stoner cult classic movie Dazed and Confused is reuniting to raise funds for organizations that promote voting rights and civic engagement.

Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Jason London, Joey Lauren Adams, and Adam Goldberg will virtually get together for a livestreamed script reading of one of director Richard Linklater's first films. It's a chance to hear McConaughey give his famous "Alright, alright, alright" in real time. Patton Oswalt will also moderate a live Q&A after the reading.

The livestream will be October 11 and will be available to those who donate to Voto Latino and the March for Science. It's similar to what the cast of the Princess Bride did last month as a fundraiser for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

“Heading into this election, a lot of creative advocates for social change saw the power of reuniting casts, not just to bring back communities and fans to experience a really cool nostalgic production, but do it in a way that generated meaningful support and resources for organizations that were on the ground advocating for the kind of transformative change that a lot of people are looking for these days,” Matthew Tranchin, president of March For Science, told D Magazine.

Dazed and Confused is a coming of age comedy set during the last day of school at a fictional high school in Austin and came out in 1993. It's not Linklater's best known film, but it helped launch McConaughey's and Affleck's careers.
