Sounds like a test-screening. Not really important news, though, unless you were aware of it a few weeks before it happened. Rolling Eyes

P.S. Pasadena =/= Southern California.

Excellent cast, IMO. Hopefully with Matt Damon and Liam Neeson involved this flick will open in 2000 screens instead 200.

Well Liam Nieson is clearly the sea wizard guy (fujimoto), but who would Matt Damon be playing?

There are hardly any adult men in the film at all. Maybe he just has the very very small part of Sosuke's father? The guy's out to sea for the entire film Smile.

And I bet you that Tina Fey plays one of the old ladys in the nursing home... That'll be hilarious. Unless she landed Lisa, which would actually probably be one of her biggest movie roles.

I live here, but I still refuse to include them, since no one takes that place seriously.

I approve of this article. It's as if a certain director and a certain actor, neither of which I'm particularly fond of, are being put together in cinematic quarantine.

I totally adore Matt Damon, Tina Fey, and Cate Blanchett.
Kind of surprised that the latter Oscar-winning actress wasn't too "big" a celebrity for such a little-known, little-distributed film. I know Damon and Fey have done smaller stuff and voice roles, but....

I have to admit, including those three actors makes me want to see the movie 1,000x more. I don't know much about the film, but hopefully it'll get into a theater near here.
