2009 Newport Beach Film Festival Opening Night Film Announced

From executive producer Martin Scorsese, Lymelife will open the Newport Beach Film Festival which is celebrating its 10th Anniversary on April 23-30, 2009.

Lymelife centers on two deeply troubled, dsyfunctional families during the late 1970s.  The film revolves around an awkward, sensitive 15-year old boy, Scott Bartlett (Rory Culkin), whose family life is turned upside-down after an outbreak of Lyme disease hits the community spreading illness and paranoia.

Lymelife stars Alec Baldwin, Kieran Culkin, Rory Culkin, Jill Hennessy, Timothy Hutton, Cynthia Nixon and Emma Roberts.  (Hope we see them all on the red carpet at the Newport Beach Film Festival premiere or gala party!)

Watch Movie Trailer for a sneak

 

The Closing Night film will be the West Coast premiere screening of (500) Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel (love her!) and  Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  Here’s their movie trailer to see a sneak: 

Tickets for the festival go on sale on April 1
and can be purchased at www.newportbeachfilmfest.com
