History of Violence live Q&A<BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=georgia size=2>Hello
Sandy,<BR> <BR>Thank you so much.<BR> <BR>Join Hollywood's Master
Storytellers for a special screening of History Of Violence on March 21st at
Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. We will be joined by <B>Academy
Award nominated screenwriter Josh Olsen and mega producer Chris Bender</B> who
will give us the inside scoop on this critically acclaimed film and the
stars. A must attend for writers, producers, filmmakers and film fans
who would like to learn how "Hollywood" works.<BR> <BR><BR><B>A HISTORY
OF VIOLENCE<BR></B><BR>Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, Ed Harris,
William Hurt<BR><BR>Director: David Cronenberg<BR><BR>Writer: Josh Olson,
based on the graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince
Locke<BR><BR> <BR><BR><B>Guests: Producer Chris Bender,
Screenwriter Josh Olson<BR></B><BR>Running Time: 1 hour, 36
minutes<BR><BR>Rated R for strong brutal violence, graphic sexuality, nudity,
language and some drug use<BR><BR> <BR><BR>A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE is one
of those undiscovered gems that, like Shane Black’s KISS KISS BANG BANG
(coming to Hollywood’s Master Storytellers later this spring) was an amazing
film that just got lost in the shuffle when originally released. Rolling
Stone’s film critic Peter Travers writes, “Other films this year will have
to sweat bullets to match the explosive power and subversive wit of David
Cronenberg's A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. It slams you like a body punch and then
starts messing with your head. Open your eyes, people. This is a
world-class director, at the top of his startlingly creative form.â€
<BR><BR><BR>Viggo Mortensen gives what many critics call the performance of
his career as Tom Stall, the 40-something owner of a small town Indiana diner
with a smart, sexy wife (Maria Bello in a superbly crafted performance), a
teenage son and grade school daughter. But looks are deceiving.
When Tom faces off against a pair of would-be robbers, using combat skills you
would never expect a short order cook to have, his world changes
drastically. We’re not going to spoil the plot’s twists and turns
for you. Suffice it to say that as a master of suspense thrillers,
Cronenberg lives up to his reputation and executes Josh Olson’s Oscar®
nominated screenplay into one of the most powerful films of last
year.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>Josh Olson won tremendous critical acclaim for
adapting John Wagner and Vince Locke’s graphic novel to the big
screen. His screenplay was nominated for Writers Guild, BAFTA and
Academy Awards. <BR><BR> <BR><BR>Chris Bender and J.C. Spink are
partners in Benderspink, a motion picture and talent management company that
opened its doors in 1998 with 15 screenwriting clients. In just over a
year, Bender and Spink sold 24 client spec scripts and launched the highly
successful AMERICAN PIE franchise for Universal Studios. In addition to
A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, Bender’s producing credits include THE BUTTERFLY
EFFECT, MONSTER IN LAW and RED EYE. Benderspink currently has a first
look deal with New Line. <BR> <BR><BR><B>Buy your tickets now, they are
