Gullivers Travels Premiere

Sarurday December 18, 2010
20th Century Fox
GRAUMANS CHINESE THEATRE, HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA

In a modern, 3D family comedy take on the classic tale, Jack Black (star of “Kung Fu Panda” and “School of Rock”) is Lemuel Gulliver, a lowly mailroom clerk at a New York newspaper. After Gulliver bluffs his way into an assignment writing about the Bermuda Triangle, he goes there only to be transported to an undiscovered land, Lilliput.  In this fantastical new world, Gulliver is, at last, a bigger-than-life figure -- in size and ego – especially after he starts telling tall tales, taking credit for his world’s greatest inventions, and placing himself at the center of its most historic events. Gulliver’s position is enhanced even further when he leads his new friends in a daring battle against their longtime enemies.   But when Gulliver loses it all and puts the Lilliputians in peril, he must find a way to undo the damage.  Ultimately, Gulliver becomes a true giant among men only when he learns that it’s how big you are on the inside that counts.

With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death escape across a visually stunning cyber universe.

Somewhere Premiere


Tuesday December 7, 2010
FOCUS FEATURES
ARCLIGHT THEATRES, HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA

Somewhere won the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture at the 2010 Venice International Film Festival. From Academy Award-winning writer/director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette), Somewhere is a witty, moving, and empathetic look into the orbit of actor Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff). You have probably seen him in the tabloids; Johnny is living at the legendary Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. He has a Ferrari to drive around in, and a constant stream of girls and pills to stay in with. Comfortably numbed, Johnny drifts along. Then, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) from his failed marriage arrives unexpectedly at the Chateau. Their encounters encourage Johnny to face up to where he is in life and confront the question that we all must: which path in life will you take? Filmed entirely on location, Somewhere reunites the writer/director with Lost in Translation editor Sarah Flack and production designer Anne Ross. Stacey Battat (Broken English) is the costume designer, and Harris Savides (Elephant) is the director of photography, on Somewhere. A Focus Features presentation in association with Pathé Distribution, Medusa Film, and Tohokushinsha of an American Zoetrope production, Somewhere is executive-produced by Francis Ford Coppola, Paul Rassam, and Fred Roos. The producers are G. Mac Brown, Roman Coppola, and Sofia Coppola. MPAA-rated R (for sexual content, nudity and language), Somewhere has a running time of 98 minutes.

The Fighter Premiere

Monday, December 6, 2010
PARAMOUNT PICTURES
GRAUMANS CHINESE THEATRE, HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA
 
Dicky Ecklund (CHRISTIAN BALE) is a former boxing hero that squandered his talents and threw away his shot at greatness.
Micky Ward (MARK WAHLBERG), his half brother, is the struggling journeyman boxer who spent his life living in his big brother’s shadow.  
The Fighter is inspired by the true story of two brothers who, against all the odds, come together to train for a historic title bout that will unite their fractured family, redeem their pasts and, at last, give their hard-luck town what it’s been waiting for: pride.  The story unfolds on the gritty, blue-collar streets of Lowell, Mass, where Dicky was once known as “The Pride of Lowell” having gone the distance with the world champion Sugar Ray Leonard. However, after losing that fight, like the town of Lowell, Dicky’s fallen on hard times.  His boxing days are behind him and his life has become shattered by drug abuse.  
Younger brother Micky, meanwhile, has become the family’s fighter and fading hope for a champion.  But despite all of his work, Micky’s career is failing and he loses fight after punishing fight.  Dicky and Micky’s tougher-than-nails mother, Alice (MELISSA LEO), manages his career and Dicky serves as his highly unreliable trainer.  When Micky’s latest fight nearly kills him, it looks like it could all be over – until his iron-willed new girlfriend, Charlene (AMY ADAMS), convinces him to do the unthinkable:  split with his family, pursue his own interests and train without his increasingly volatile and criminal brother. 
Now Micky has the chance of a lifetime as he earns a shot at the World Championship.  But when his brother and dysfunctional family reenter his life, they must all reconcile their pasts and become more than just a family in name.  With Micky and Dicky reunited, this becomes more than just a fight – it’s an all-out comeback for these brothers, their family, and their city.  When it’s over, Micky will have become a champion, a hometown legend, and the new “Pride of Lowell”.
The Fighter is a moving and often humorous drama about fighting for the people you love.
Release Date: December 10, 2010 (select cities) / December 17, 2010 (nationwide)
