WHY: To celebrate the release of THE GAME PLAN, which tells the story of rugged superstar quarterback Joe Kingman (DWAYNE “THE ROCK” JOHNSON), whose Boston-based team is chasing a championship. A “serial bachelor,” Kingman is living the ultimate fantasy: he's rich, famous and the life of the party. But this dream is suddenly sacked for a loss when he discovers the 7-year-old daughter (newcomer MADISON PETTIS) he never knew he had - the product of a last fling before parting years ago with his young wife. Now, during the most important time in his career, he must figure out how to juggle his parties, practices and dates with the newfound ballet classes, bedtime stories and dolls that come with his daughter. Equally perplexed is his hard-edged mega-agent, Stella (KYRA SEDGWICK), also without a parental bone in her body. Despite the often hilarious misadventures that come with being a new father, Joe discovers that there's more to life than money, endorsements and thousands of adoring fans: the love and care of one very special small fan is the only thing that matters.
Filmed in Boston last year, the choreographic team for the ballet scenes in the film consisted of both teachers from the Boston Ballet School and Boston Ballet Company members.
The Boston Ballet School offers classes for students age 2 and older at each of their three studio locations: in the South End of Boston, in the MetroWest town of Newton and in the South Shore Community of Norwell.
THE GAME PLAN is rated PG and opens in theatres nationwide September 28, 2007.
