Juno's "Due Date" Sooner Than Expected
I have some great news. The best movie of 2007 is coming to theaters 9 days earlier than expected. The film, Juno, directed by Jason Reitman was originally scheduled to hit theaters on December 15th, but has been moved up to take advantage of all the incredible advance buzz. Juno will now hit theaters on Wednesday, December 5th in New York and Los Angeles, and will expand on a platform release in the subsequent weeks.
JUNO stars Ellen Page as the title character, a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera). With the help of her best friend Leah (Oliva Thirlby), Juno finds her unborn child a "perfect" set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents (JK Simmons and Allison Janney) as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.
