20TH CENTURY FOX, LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL AND THE MOMS HOST WON’T BACK DOWN BLOGGER SCREENING INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE DRAMA STARRING VIOLA DAVIS AND MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL IN THEATERS EVERYWHERE SEPTEMBER 28 NEW YORK, NY, (Friday, August 3rd) – Twentieth Century Fox, Ladies’ Home Journal and The Moms hosted a special screening of the upcoming motion picture drama WON’T BACK DOWN for hundreds of women bloggers in New York City on Friday, August 3rd at the NYIT Auditorium. The screening was followed by a Q&A with the film’s stars, Viola Davis, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rosie Perez, as well as director and co-screenwriter Daniel Barnz. The conference was moderated by Melissa Gerstein and Denise Albert, from the lifestyle brand The Moms. Ladies’ Home Journal Editor In Chief Sally Lee welcomed the attendees. WON’T BACK DOWN is a powerful story – inspired by true events – of parenthood, friendship, hope and courage, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis portray determined mothers who will stop at nothing to transform their children’s failing inner city school. Facing a powerful and entrenched bureaucracy and a system mired in traditional thinking, they risk everything to make a difference in the education and future of their children. Also starring are Oscar Isaac, Rosie Perez, Holly Hunter, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Lance Reddick and Ving Rhames. Daniel Barnz directs. The film was written by Brin Hill and Daniel Barnz, and the producer is Mark Johnson. The film arrives in theaters everywhere September 28, 2012. Sally Lee, SVP, Editor-in-Chief, of Ladies’ Home Journal noted: “At Ladies' Home Journal we celebrate women who live their lives with passion and purpose and we believe that every woman has a story to tell. We love hearing stories of resilience and empowerment, two themes that run through Won’t Back Down. Inspired by true events, Won’t Back Down is about a determined mother and schoolteacher who fight for their children. Just like the stories in our magazine, this film proves there's nothing women can't do when they stand together and demand change.” Commented Melissa Gerstein and Denise Albert: “We are honored to co-host and produce our Mamarazzi event for WON’T BACK DOWN, a powerful film with an outstanding cast. No mom should have to back down when it comes to her children and we are thrilled to help spread the "word of mom" alongside 20th Century Fox for this film and unprecedented social media event.” ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS: DANIEL BARNZ (Director/Co-Screenwriter) confronts unusual and frequently challenging subject matter in a way that is both emotional and captivating for audiences. With his keen visual eye and artistic edge, Barnz elicits memorable performances, and he counts himself extremely blessed to be collaborating with some of the finest actors working in film today. Barnz’s feature directorial debut, the award-winning “Phoebe in Wonderland,” starring Felicity Huffman, Patricia Clarkson and Elle Fanning, premiered in competition at Sundance 2008, and was released nationally in 2009. Barnz went on to adapt and direct “Beastly,” which was released in 2011 and starred Alex Pettyfer in his breakout role. Inspired by his Kafka-esque experiences developing in Hollywood, Barnz wrote and made his directorial debut with the popular festival-circuit short film “The Cutting Room,” which tells the story of a trailer park inhabited by characters that have been cut out of books, plays, movies and TV shows. In 2007, Barnz was named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film and in 2008 one of Variety’s Top Ten Directors to Watch. In his early career, Barnz spent many seasons at the Williamstown Theatre Festival before moving to Los Angeles to direct for Tim Robbins’s theater company, The Actors’ Gang. Shortly thereafter, Barnz entered the MFA program at the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television. After graduating, Barnz got his start in the industry writing screenplays, including “Sugarland” for Jodie Foster, “Under and Alone” for Mel Gibson and “Rogue” for Leonardo DiCaprio. Barnz was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, and received his B.A. from Yale University. MARCELO ZARVOS (Music) is a veteran composer of music for films and television. His many motion picture credits include “The Good Shepherd,” “Hollywoodland,” “The Air I Breathe,” “What Just Happened,” “Brooklyn’s Finest,” “Remember Me” and “The Beaver.” In television, he received Emmy nominations for his work on the movie “You Don’t Know Jack” and the HBO film “Taking Chance.” Zarvos composed the music for the Showtime series “The Big C” and the HBO movie “Too Big to Fail.” TM and © 2012 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.
