In a nutshell, it tells the story of the battle to reveal the truth about the failure of US policy in Vietnam, which had been suppressed by successive administrations for years, by publishing government papers. The New York Times announced the existence of the so-called ‘Pentagon Papers’ but were slapped down with an injunction. The Washington Post’s editor obtains a copy of the papers, leading to the legal and ethical dilemma at the heart of the film. Its timeliness led to Steven Spielberg and his team bringing the film from idea to screen in less than a year. Spielberg read the original script in February 2017, filming started on 1 May and the film was released in January 2018.

  • 2016 and Will Not Have Begun Principal Photography During This Calendar Year
    The Black List was compiled from the suggestions of over 250 film executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of her favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2016 and will not have begun principal photography during this calendar year. This year, scripts had to receive at least six mentions to be included on the Black List. All reasonable effort has been made to confirm the information contained herein. The Black List apologizes for all misspellings, misattributions, incorrect representation identification, and questionable 2016 affiliations. It has been said many times, but it’s worth repeating: The Black List is not a “best of” list. It is, at best, a “most liked” list. “ The more we’re governed by idiots and have no control over our own destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible. “ ALAN RICKMAN BLOND AMBITION Elyse Hollander In 1980s New York, Madonna struggles to get her first album released while navigating fame, romance, and a music industry that views women as disposal.

  • A Ghost Story
    Presents A GHOST STORY A film by David Lowery (93 min., USA, 2017) Language: English Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1352 Dundas St. West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com @MongrelMedia MongrelMedia SYNOPSIS With A GHOST STORY acclaimed director David Lowery (AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS, PETE'S DRAGON) returns with a singular exploration of legacy, loss, and the essential human longing for meaning and connection. Recently deceased, a white-sheeted ghost (Academy Award-winner Casey Affleck) returns to his suburban home to console his bereft wife (Academy Award-nominee Rooney Mara), only to find that in his spectral state he has become unstuck in time, forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away. Increasingly unmoored, the ghost embarks on a cosmic journey through memory and history, confronting life’s ineffable questions and the enormity of existence. An unforgettable meditation on love and grief, A GHOST STORY emerges ecstatic and surreal — a wholly unique experience that lingers long after the credits roll. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Months before delighting global audiences with the critically acclaimed PETE’S DRAGON remake for the Walt Disney Company in the summer of 2016, writer-director David Lowery was already immersed in his next project — an independently produced, under-the-radar ghost story set in his native Texas that reunites the stars of his breakout feature, AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS.
