Thanks Paula! It's an idea that Hannah, Helen and myself (Helen and I two little helpers), have been kicking around. Developing a format for organizing information on James' new projects. We are still working on it and hopefully we can tweak it so it's easy to navigate.

Here's a link to the AFI FEST page with screening times and dates. Apparently, it will have 2 public screenings. Tickets are free. :-)

THE LAST STATION
2009 Germany / Russia / UK 110 MIN 35mm

Tue. Nov 3, 7:00 pm
Mann 1

Saturday, November 7, 3:00 pm
Laemmle Monica 4

In this thrilling comic-dramatic account of Leo Tolstoy's final months, our Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer, in a magnificent performance) has renounced writing fiction, built a school for peasants and started a movement whose guiding principles are pacifism, sexual chastity and the abolishment of private property. His new secretary (James McAvoy) becomes the comic man-in-the-middle between two formidable opponents scheming for control of the authors manuscripts and money: the rigid Chertkov (Paul Giamatti) who wants to spread Tolstoyan doctrines around the world and Sofya (Helen Mirren), Tolstoy's wife of 48 years and the mother of his 13 children, who proves her dedication by copying War and Peace six times… by hand.

Apparently both of the screenings at AFI Fest are filled to capacity! That's what someone on IMDb was told when she called for tickets. The web site is telling people to go to the same-day rush line in hopes of getting in.

I can't think of a lovelier Christmas present than the release (in the US) of a new film with James in it that is not "Wanted."

From AFI Daily News - regarding Christopher Plummer receiving a dedication prior to the screening of TLS

then it says:

THE LAST STATION (Tribute) Cast: Christopher Plummer, Helen Mirren, Paul Giamatti, James McAvoy DIR: Michael Hoffman PROD: Bonnie Arnold, Chris Curling EXEC PROD: Andrei Konchalovsky, Robert Little, Phil Robertson, Judy Tossell Germany/Russia

Am wondering if that means they will all be in attendance?

My first reaction was I didn't think they'd all be there, but who knows.

They don't announce the official lineup until Monday the 26th, but it looks like there will be a showing in Denver:

"Screening on Nov. 14, Big Night features 'The Last Station' with director Michael Hoffman in attendance. In this tale of two romances, one beginning and one near its end, 'The Last Station' stars Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer, Paul Giamatti and James McAvoy in a complex, funny, rich and emotional story about Leo Tolstoy and the difficulty of living with love and the impossibility of living without it. The screening of 'The Last Station' will take place 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in the Denver Performing Arts Complex."

AFI FEST 2009: Christopher Plummer, Viggo Mortensen Tributes

by Andre Soares | Oct 24, 2009

AFI FEST 2009 has selected Christopher Plummer, who'll turn 80 next December, and Viggo Mortensen, 51, as this year's tribute honorees.

Sponsored by the Skirball Cultural Center, Plummer's tribute will precede the screening of The Last Station, in which he plays Leo Tolstoy, on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Mortensen's tribute will precede the US premiere of John Hillcoat's futuristic drama The Road on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Both tributes will take place at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

A stage, film, and television and television veteran, during the course of his 50-plus-year career Plummer has won two Tony Awards (for Cyrano and Barrymore), three Drama Desk Awards, the National Arts Club Medal, and two Emmys. Additionally, he was a leading member of Laurence Olivier's Royal National Theatre and Peter Hall's Royal Shakespeare Company.

Among Plummer's dozens of screen appearances, whether in leading or supporting roles, are Stage Struck (1957), The Sound of Music (1965), The Night of the Generals (1967), The Silent Partner (1978), Malcolm X (1992), The Insider (1999), A Beautiful Mind (2001), and Inside Man (2006). Curiously, he's never even been nominated for an Academy Award - though this year he has a good chance of landing a best supporting actor nomination for The Last Station.

Christopher Plummer can also be seen in the AFI FEST's Centerpiece Screening Gala presentation, Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, in which Plummer stars as the leader of a traveling theater troupe who, following a deal with the devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imagination. Supporting Plummer are Heath Ledger, in his last screen appearance, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell, and Tom Waits. Both Gilliam and Plummer are scheduled to attend the AFI FEST screening.
