Happy holidays everyone! As a special gift from our friends
at
Alliance Films, we are giving away tickets to
the Ottawa sneak peek of
Promised Land,
starring Matt Damon.
Promised Land is
the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (
Good Will Hunting,
Milk).
Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with
his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to close a key rural town in his
company’s expansion plans. With the town having been hit hard by the economic
decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to
accept their company’s offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as
much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated
by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from
a grassroots campaign led by another man (John Krasinski), as well as the
interest of a local woman (Rosemarie DeWitt).
Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business
and the strength of small-town community converge.
