From Brian Brooks’s indieWIRE story:
Mira Nair’s “Amelia” will open the inaugural Doha Tribeca Film Festival in the Middle Eastern capital of Qatar next month. The Fox Searchlight release recalls legendary aviator Amelia Earhart, starring two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank and Golden Globe winner Richard Gere. The new fest is part of a long-term partnership between the Qatar Museums Authority and Tribeca Enterprises, which oversees April’s annual Tribeca Film Festival. Thirty-two films will screen at the first festival, with 12 coming from the Middle East and additional titles from the international festival circuit. The DTFF will run from October 29 to November 1, 2009 in Doha, Qatar.

i cant wait to see the reception of this movie, its gonne be big either way, whether it fail terribly or winds up impressing.
Per my local theater, it comes out on the 23rd, so I guess it won’t be big news, right?
Oh my god, can they come up with a promo pic that doesn’t make me vomit in my mouth?
Kris, c’mon. after everything we’ve see on this you still think it’s a contender? seriously looks like the most bland biopic ever.
