Actor John Cusack will screen “Say Anything” in Indianapolis this week.

He’ll follow the Sept. 7 screening at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre with a live conversation about his career and the making of the film, including an audience question and answer session.

The 1989 comedy/drama that had the actor starring as lovestruck Lloyd Dobler was ranked by Entertainment Weekly as one of the greatest modern movie romances.

The Indy appearance is part of a tour that has Cusack attending screenings and chatting about the selections. Other movies being shown along the tour are “16 Candles” and “High Fidelity.”

Notably for Hoosiers, Cusack spent two months in Indianapolis filming “Eight Men Out” back in the fall of 1987.

The baseball-themed features saw Cusack play Chicago White Sox third baseman George “Buck” Weaver and his entanglement in the “Black Sox” gambling scandal of 1919.
