MAI 2014 36 CAST & CREW KURZINHALT Als der 22-jährige Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan) am Morgen des 31. Dezember 2008 aufwacht, spürt er, dass etwas in der Luft liegt. Ohne genau zu wissen, was es ist, nutzt er die Gelegenheit, um endlich seine guten Vorsätze in die Tat umzusetzen: Als Vater, Partner und Sohn möchte er ein besserer Mensch werden. Für seine vierjährige Tochter Tatiana (Ariana Neal), die ihn trotz zwei Jahren Gefängnisaufenthalt noch immer vergöttert, für seine Freundin Sophina (Melonie Diaz), mit der er nicht immer ganz ehrlich war, und für seine Mutter (Octavia Spencer), die an diesem Silvestertag Geburtstag hat. Freunde, Familie und Fremde kreuzen seinen Weg, doch im Laufe des Tages muss Oscar feststellen, dass Schwierigkeiten und Herausforderungen nicht ausbleiben, wenn man sich selbst und sein Leben verändern will. Von seinem Plan, ein besserer Mensch zu werden, will er sich trotzdem nicht abbringen lassen. Aber so weit kommt es nicht: Nach einer fröh- lichen Silvesternacht in San Francisco gerät er auf seinem Rückweg im Zug in einen Streit. Vollkommen unerwartet wird er von einem weißen Polizisten erschossen – in der U-Bahn-Station Fruitvale. PRESSENOTIZ NÄCHSTER HALT: FRUITVALE STATION erzählt die letzten 24 Stunden einer wahren Geschichte. Der junge Nachwuchs-Regisseur und Dreh- buchautor Ryan Coogler hat sich einen Fall von rassistisch motivierter Polizeigewalt vorgenommen, der sich in der Silvesternacht 2008/09 ereignete und nicht nur die San Francisco Bay Area, sondern die gesamten USA erschütterte. Für diese bewegende Geschichte – mit der er dem verstorbenen Oscar Grant ein Denkmal und einer ganzen Gesellschaft gleichzeitig ein Mahnmal setzt – versammelt Coogler eine erstklassige Besetzung vor seiner Kamera. In der Hauptrolle brilliert Shooting-Star Michael B. Jordan (THE WIRE, CRONICLE – WOZU BIST DU FÄHIG?), unterstützt wird er von Melonie Diaz (BE KIND REWIND), Kevin Durand (X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE), Ahna O’Reilly (NIE WIEDER SEX MIT DER EX), Chad Michael Murray (ONE TREE HILL) und nicht zuletzt Oscar®-Gewinnerin Octavia Spencer (THE HELP). NÄCHSTER HALT: FRUITVALE STATION feierte seine Weltpremiere beim Festival von Sundance und gewann dort nicht nur den Großen Preis der Jury, sondern auch den begehrten Publikumspreis. Anschließend wurde der von Oscar®-Gewinner Forest Whitaker produzierte Film auch bei den Festivals in Cannes und Deauville mit Auszeichnungen bedacht. LANGINHALT Der Silvestertag 2008 beginnt für Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan) um kurz nach Mitternacht erst einmal mit einem Streit. Seine Freundin Sophina (Melonie Diaz), die Mutter seiner kleinen Tochter Tatiana (Ariana Neal), tut sich schwer damit, ihm den Seitensprung zu verzeihen, bei dem sie ihn kürzlich erwischt hatte. Doch für den 22-Jährigen ist klar: Solche Fehler sollen der Vergangenheit angehören, schließlich ist seine kleine Familie sein Ein und Alles. Und damit nicht genug der guten Vorsätze fürs neue Jahr: Auch mit Gras-Dealen soll künftig Schluss sein. Nach dem gemeinsamen Aufstehen hängt der Haussegen längst wieder gerade und in der sonnendurchfluteten Bay Area beginnt für Oscar zunächst ein Tag wie jeder andere. Tatiana liefert er morgens im Kinder- garten ab, auch Sophina bringt er zur Arbeit. Anschließend macht er sich selbst auf zu seiner ehemaligen Arbeitsstelle, einem Supermarkt. Dass er den Job vor Kurzem wegen Unzuverlässigkeit verloren hat, hat er noch niemandem erzählt, und inständig hofft er, vielleicht doch noch eine Chance auf Wiedereinstellung zu bekommen. Sein ehemaliger Boss allerdings hat längst jemand Neuen eingestellt und lässt überhaupt nicht mit sich reden, sodass sich Oscar unverrichteter Dinge wieder davon- machen muss. Wenn auch nicht ohne vorher mit seinem Kumpel an der Fischtheke gequatscht, der netten Kundin Katie (Ahna O’Reilly) bei einem Rezept weitergeholfen und Einkäufe für den Geburtstag seiner Mutter Wanda (Octavia Spencer) erledigt zu haben. Dass sich die Sache mit dem Neuanfang schwierig gestaltet, lässt in dem Heimweg kommt es zu Spannungen. Denn Oscar trifft im Zug nicht Oscar Wut und Verzweiflung aufsteigen. Nicht zuletzt weil die nächste nur zufällig seine Supermarktbekanntschaft Katie wieder, sondern auch Miete längst fällig ist und ihn zu allem Überfluss auch noch seine einige ehemalige Mithäftlinge, die ihm alles andere als wohl gesonnen Schwester um Geld anpumpt. Da liegt die Versuchung nahe, die letzten sind. Schnell kommt es zu einer Prügelei, sodass an der Station Fruitvale Drogenvorräte doch noch an den Mann zu bringen.

Zunächst einmal kommt die gesamte Familie zu einem ausgelassenen Geburtstagsdinner für Wanda zusammen, das Mutter und Sohn die traurigen Erinnerungen ans letzte Jahr vergessen lässt. Und anschließend geht es, nicht zuletzt auf Wunsch von Sophina, mit einer großen Gruppe von Freunden nach San Francisco, um gut gelaunt und mit Feuerwerk das neue Jahr zu begrüßen. Um nicht im Verkehr stecken zu bleiben, nimmt die Clique den BART-Zug, der die Orte der Bay Area mit San Francisco verbindet. Auf dem Hinweg ist die Stimmung unter den Fahrgästen ausgelassen.

Jordan), a 22- year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air. Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother (Octavia Spencer), whose birthday falls on New Year’s Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz), who he hasn’t been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to Tatiana (Ariana Neal), their beautiful four year-old daughter. Crossing paths with friends, family, and strangers, Oscar starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easily. His resolve takes a tragic turn, however, when BART officers shoot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway stop on New Year’s Day. Oscar’s life and tragic death would shake the Bay Area – and the entire nation – to its very core. 2 Q&A WITH WRITER/DIRECTOR RYAN COOGLER What originally inspired you to make this film?

    LOGLINE In a twisted social experiment, a group of 80 Americans are locked in their high-rise office in Bogotá, Colombia, and ordered by an unknown voice coming from the company’s intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed in order to survive. SHORT SYNOPSIS Eighty Americans locked inside Belko Industries’ high-rise corporate office in Bogotá, Colombia, are horrified when an unknown voice issues a command through the intercom system: kill two people in the next 30 minutes or more people will die. Pacifist Mike Pelk (John Gallagher, Jr.) and his girlfriend Leandra (Adria Arjona) try to convince their office mates to resist the order, but when the heads of four random co-workers explode and the anonymous voice directs the office workers to kill 30 more of their colleagues, cold-blooded COO Barry Norris (Tony Goldwyn) takes charge and violence escalates as the staff members turn on one another in a desperate attempt to survive. LONG SYNOPSIS When office workers arrive for work at Belko Industries’ isolated high-rise campus outside Bogotá, Colombia, the morning starts much like any other. Mike Pelk (John Gallagher Jr.) smokes weed in the bathroom and flirts with his beautiful officemate Leandra (Adria Arjona) while new employee Dany Wilkins (Melonie Diaz) settles in for her first day on the job. Everything changes when an anonymous voice comes through the intercom speakers ordering employees to kill two of their colleagues within 30 minutes. Many of the 80 employees assume the order is a sick joke, even when steel-plated doors snap shut sealing off all windows and exits.
