Screening of Big Miracle, starring Drew Barrymore, John Krasinski, Kristen Bell, Dermot Mulroney
Ken Kwapis (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, He's Just Not That Into You, License to Wed) directs the drama from Universal Pictures which opens February 3rd, 2012.
Big Miracle (also known as Everybody Loves Whales) is scripted by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, based on the book "Freeing the Whales" by Thomas Rose.
The cast of talented actors also includes Tim Blake Nelson, Ted Danson, Stephen Root, Rob Riggle, Vinessa Shaw, Michael Gaston, James LeGros, Andrew Daly and Bruce Altman.
Inspired by the true story that captured the hearts of people across the world, the rescue adventure Big Miracle tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can’t wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she’s also his ex-girlfriend. With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world’s attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.
