Lions for Lambs
August 27th 2007 09:01
Lions for Lambs is a new drama film scheduled to be released in 2007 starring Robert Redford (also dir.), Meryl Streep, and Tom Cruise. The film is based on a platoon of soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, a senator, a reporter, and a college professor.
It will be the first United Artists film produced under the Cruise/Wagner era, since Cruise fell out with Paramount Pictures, then came to an agreement with MGM to run United Artists. MGM will handle marketing and distribution.
Filming began in January 2007 on the campuses of Pitzer College and Pomona College, part of the Claremont Colleges located in Claremont, California. Robert Redford also received an honorary degree from the Claremont Graduate University. The film will be released in the USA on November 9th, 2008. The Australian release date is Novelber 8th.
Plot:
Two determined students at a West Coast University, Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Pena), follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Stephen Malley (Robert Redford), and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught. Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach Todd (Andrew Garfield), a privileged but disaffected student who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise), is about to give a bombshell story to TV journalist Janine Roth (Meryl Streep) that may affect Arian and Ernest's fates. As arguments, memories and bullets fly, the three stories are woven ever more tightly together, revealing how each of these Americans has a profound impact.
