JON STEWART'S ROSEWATER PREVIEW

‘Rosewater’ Live Preview Event with

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to Screen in Select U.S. Cinemas Exclusively on November 13

Fathom Events and Open Road Films to Give Audiences Sneak Peek at

Jon Stewart’s Directorial Debut in ‘Rosewater’ Followed by

Live Q&A on the Eve Before Its National Release

DENVER – October 29, 2014 – Fathom Events and Open Road Films are partnering to present the exclusive “Rosewater: Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert LIVE” event, including the feature film Rosewater followed by a Live Q&A with Jon Stewart, the film’s screen writer, director and producer, interviewed by Stephen Colbert, host and executive producer of the Emmy and Peabody Award Winning series “The Colbert Report,” broadcast from New York City. Fans can join the conversation by Tweeting questions now via Twitter using the hashtag #RosewaterLive.  This special event will be showcased in select cinemas nationwide for only one night on November 13 live at 7:30 p.m. ET and tape delayed to 7:30 p.m. local time in all other time zones. Rosewater is based on The New York Times best-selling memoir “Then They Came for Me: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival,” written by the BBC journalist Maziar Bahari, which is now available in paperback and titled after the upcoming movie. Following the exclusive Fathom Events preview on November 13, Rosewater will be in theaters nationwide on November 14.

Tickets for “Rosewater: Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert LIVE” are available at participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com. The event will be presented in more than 300 select movie theaters nationwide through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network. For a complete list of theater locations and prices, visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

A true story, Rosewater marks the screenwriting and directorial debut of “The Daily Show” host and executive producer Jon Stewart, and stars Gael García Bernal, leading an international cast.  Rosewater is produced by Scott Rudin, Stewart and Gigi Pritzker, with Lila Yacoub, Eli Bush and Chris McShane serving as executive producers.

Rosewater has a direct connection to Stewart, who since taking over as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” in 1999, has turned the nightly half-hour satirical look at newsmakers and news-coverers into not only a perennial Emmy-winning juggernaut, but also an important touchstone on the zeitgeist. Stewart and “The Daily Show” covered Bahari’s saga nightly and the journalist appeared on the show to talk about his ordeal once he was released from prison.

Rosewater follows the Tehran-born Bahari, a 42-year-old broadcast journalist with Canadian citizenship living in London. In June 2009, Bahari returned to Iran to interview Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who was the prime challenger to controversial incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  As Moussavi’s supporters rose up to protest Ahmadinejad’s victory declaration hours before the polls closed on election day, Bahari endured great personal risk by submitting camera footage of the unfolding street riots to the BBC. Bahari was soon arrested by Revolutionary Guard police, led by a man identifying himself only as “Rosewater,” who proceeded to torture and interrogate the journalist over the next 118 days. In October 2009, with Bahari’s wife leading an international campaign from London to have her husband freed, and Western media outlets including “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” continuing to keep the story alive, Iranian authorities released Bahari on $300,000 bail and the promise he would act as a spy for the government.

"Rosewater has been celebrated by early festival audiences as well as critics,” said Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Open Road Films. “Moviegoers have expressed incredible enthusiasm about the upcoming release of Jon Stewart's directorial debut and we are thrilled to be able to bring this special event with two icons to theaters across the country."

“Rosewater is an important story that must be told to the world,” said Fathom Events CEO John Rubey. “The chance to see it first and hear the thought-provoking insight directly from the film’s creator should not be missed.”

As part of his presentation of the full slate for Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has announced that Chadwick Boseman will bring the Black Panther to life beginning with his role in Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War,” in theaters May 6, 2016, before starring in his own solo film, Marvel's "Black Panther," on November 3, 2017.

“I’m blessed to be a part of this Marvel Universe, and to work with you both, and I look forward to making magic together,” Boseman said after taking the stage with both Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man) and Chris Evans (Captain America).

“Black Panther and all of Wakanda is one of the most interesting characters in Marvel history," remarked Feige. "Something I already showed you today contains an Easter egg that leads directly into ‘Black Panther.’ He’s a bit of a prince, he may even become a bit of a king, but it’s all about how this isolationist country meets the world. Maybe it goes well, maybe it doesn’t.”

Plus, we’ve got your first peak at the Panther’s look with some special production concept art by Ryan Meinerding, which fans attending the Phase 3 event at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood received as a special poster giveaway!

Haunted by her past choices but desperate to protect the ones she loves, Tris, with Four at her side, faces one impossible challenge after another as they unlock the truth about the past and ultimately the future of their world.

The film stars Golden Globe®-nominee Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Academy Award®-winners Kate Winslet and Octavia Spencer, Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q and Mekhi Phifer, is based on author Veronica Roth’s New York Times best-seller of the same name.

JOHN WICK

Plot:

A group of Russian thugs after having been rejected by a gas pumping patron to sell his 1969 supercharged Mustang, they break into his house, beat him up, kill his little dog and takes his car. The problem is first, they left him alive and second it turns out that he is a retired hit man named John Wick (Reeves) that was the # 1 go to guy for the head of the Russian mob who happens to be the father to one of the thugs and lastly they killed his dog which was a gift from his wife that just recently died from cancer. Realizing that his son has screwed up and that Wick can't be reasoned with, the mob boss extends a contract to his current assassins to take out the vengeful one man killing machine who won't stop until he gets his mark.


Reel Talk:

This movie is Keanu Reeves' character Neo from The Matrix against the Russian mob. He pretty much acts the same and whips butt the same so it has to be Neo, But really if you like surreal action packed movies you will surely love this movie. It is full fledged action and violence from the one man wrecking crew as Keanu definitely delivers the kill shots. Action fiends will enjoy this film and yes it is worth the admission.

Starrinv: Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, William DaFoe, Dean Winters and Adrianne Palicki

DEAR WHITE PEOPLE

Plot:

Sam (Thompson) is the disc jockey for a controversial radio broadcast show, Lionel (Williams) is a nerdy journalist who just wants to fit in among his peers, Troy (Bell) struggles with who he wants to be and who his dad wants him to be and Coco (Parris) is a fame seeking girl with an identity issue, all are African American students dealing with the racial tensions and unequaled rights that plagues them on the campus of a predominantly white college. The issues boil like a pressure cooker up til the lids blows off when an all white frat house throws a party parodying the African American cultural.


Reel Talk:

This film is billed as comedy/drama but it is really straight drama because it lacked heavily in the humor department. Instead of stirring up some laughs it stirs up the continuous issues surrounding the differences between the various races and the differential treatment that exist within the collegiate system. Tyler James Williams puts in a totally surprising role as Lionel and why did I keep expecting Dennis Haysbert to breakout in a spill about Allstate Insurance.  This movie doesn't make the grade for passing with reference to going to see it in the theaters, so you can wait and catch it on cable.

Starring: Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Kyle Gallner, Teyonah Parris, Brandon P. Bell, Marque Richardson and Dennis Haysbert

FURY

Plot:

In the midst of World War II, young Norman Ellison (Lerman) a former desk clerk is assigned to ride along with a Sargent nicknamed Wardaddy (Pitt) and his crew Bible (LaBeouf), Gordo (Pena) and Coon-Ass (Bernthal) in an armored tank that they call Fury. He quickly learns the brutal and violent reality of what it means to be a soldier at war. Out gunned and out numbered while on German territory, the squad are in a fight for their life as the try to hold off the Nazis until reinforcement comes.


Reel Talk:

Warning: This film is not for the people with a weak stomach or if you're war sensitive. Although this is another typical war movie, this one gives a more in depth story of the soldiers that manned the tanks and the battles they encountered. The action is fast paced and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Now the only thing is it seemed as if Brad Pitt revisited his role as the Nazi killer from Inglorious Bastard in this film because his swag is pretty much the same in both movies. But this is a definite must see with good performances from the entire cast.

Starring: Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Michael Pena, Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal and Jason Isaacs

KILL THE MESSENGER

Plot:

Gary Webb (Renner) a journalist who writes for a small city newspaper is a crusader for justice when it comes to his stories no matter what the risk. When he encounters a strange woman who hands him detail information regarding the biggest drug trafficking ring to enter the states, he has no idea how big and dangerous this story will become. It will take him to the Colombian jungles to meet with drug lords that made arm deals with the CIA so that they can get their drugs on the urban streets of some of the United States' major cities.


Reel Talk:

This film is based on the true events of journalist Gary Webb who risked his family, his career and eventually his life to get this story out. Jeremy Renner puts in a riveting performance as the brave but conflicted reporter, definitely worthy of an Oscar nod. This is not a movie with all the flash and dash special effects but rather the grit of telling the truth behind one of the biggest drug conspiracies ever. You will have to appreciate conspiracy theories to appreciate this movie. But this is one to catch.

Starring: Jeremy Renner, Rosemarie DeWitt, Andy Garcia, Michael Keneth Williams, Barry Pepper and Oliver Platt

ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY

Plot:

Everyday can't be a good day and Alexander Cooper (Oxenbould) and his family will soon realize this to be true. As he prepares for his upcoming birthday party, he learns that his party may be overshadowed by a more popular student's party the same day and then he begins to witness the rest of his families' day unravel, from bad job interviews, a botched play, failed driving test and more leaving him to wonder if he has cursed the day.


Reel Talk:

Although this may be a different twist for Jennifer Garner, this is right up Steve Carell's alley when it comes to satire comedy. Even with Carell this is not an all out belly buster but is good for a few laughs. The Vargas twins are quiet most of the movie but they make it up with their adorable charm. Still it is a good family movie for the kids so you can load up the station wagon or mini van and have an enjoyable family outing with this one.

Starring: Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Ed Oxenbould, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey, Elise and Zoey Vargas

DRACULA UNTOLD

Plot:

In the heart of Transylvania, Prince Vlad (Evans) is faced with his most crucial and life changing decisions. With his country's lack of manpower, the Turkish army threatens to take all the young men and boys including the prince's young son to further strengthen their forces. Having gone through this tribulation himself as a boy and promising his wife Mirena (Gadon) that their son would be spared such an upbringing, he makes a deal with a cave dwelling vampire to give him the needed power to fight against the superior army. But there are stipulations and consequences that comes with this bargained arrangement that may even cost him his family as well as his kingdom if he can't resist the desired quench for human blood.


Reel Talk:

Where most Dracula movies are generally love stories between the vampire and a woman, this one is the in depth origin to why it was love that turned the man into the legendary monster. Luke Evans the latest actor to join the Dracula legacy was no disappointment to the role and Dominic Cooper who is gaining momentum in his roles as screen villains does a good job in this film as Vlad's nemesis Mehmed. This is not your typical all out blood fest rather than it is a tale of a man's love for his family and kingdom. So don't go expecting the screen to be plastered with blood and guts. Still a good movie worth a night at the movies.

Starring: Luke Evans, Sarah Gadon, Dominic Cooper, Art Parkinson and Charles Dance

THE EQUALIZER

Plot:

Robert McCall (Washington) is a neat, methodical man who just wants to live a simple life of just going to work and going to his favorite diner to drink tea and read a book. But he has a dark,  mysterious and secret past that he will soon revisit when Teri (Moretz), a young teenage girl that he becomes fond of is brutally beaten by her Russian pimp. When he goes and settles the issue as well as a few other matters that involves people being unjustly treated, the head of the Russian mob sends his enforcer Teddy (Csokas) to get revenge. This engages the two into a game of death which only one will win.


Reel Talk:

Let me first clear up that this should not be compared to the 80's television series although they share the title and character's name. This one is no holds barred violent and bloody. Denzel is a one man wrecking crew, but also smooth and cool as ice as Robert McCall. Definitely a thrill ride that  action junkies will enjoy.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Marton Csokas, Chloe Grace Moretz, David Harbour, Haley Bennett and Bill Pullman

KELLY & CAL

Plot:

Kelly (Lewis) a former teen punk rocker who is now a wife and new mother trying to adjust her life in a new suburban neighborhood which is more complex than she imagined, then she befriends her neighbor Cal (Weston) a paralyzed teen who is now a loner since his accident and being confined to a wheelchair. The pair's relationship soon becomes complicated when Cal wants more from the confused and vulnerable Kelly.


Reel Talk:

This movie is as confusing as Juliette Lewis' character Kelly and you will be as mad as Jonny Weston's character Cal for watching it. It doesn't know whether it should be  a buddy movie or a love story, so it ends up crashing on neither. To me this is just another movie that provides work and paychecks for some aging actors and actresses leaving the viewers with the lack of a good film. This would have been a good Lifetime movie at best.

Starring: Juliette Lewis, Jonny Weston, Josh Hopkins, Cybil Shepherd and Lucy Owen
Directed by: Jen McGowan
Rated: NR
