Touchstone Pictures enjoyed success with several exceptional titles in 2004, and is gearing up for a diverse slate of new releases with major filmmakers this year. Touchstone continued its close relationship with acclaimed writer/director M. Night Shyamalan with the July release of The Village. Meanwhile, Ladder 49, starring Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta, opened in the fall. Director Wes Anderson added fun and prestige to the 2004 schedule with The Life Aquatic, another great showcase for the award-winning Bill Murray.
Coming in the summer of 2005, Dark Water stars Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly as the distressed mother of a young girl who encounters strange happenings when she moves into a rundown apartment.
Later in the year, a very different mother-daughter tale unfolds in the suspense drama, Flight Plan, starring Academy Award-winner Jodie Foster as a mother whose worst fears are realized when her daughter vanishes into thin air while traveling in a plane at 30,000 feet.
From Nigel Cole, the director of last year's hit comedy Calendar Girls, comes the heartfelt romantic tale, A Lot Like Love, starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet.
There's romance in the air for the holiday season when Touchstone presents Casanova, a comedy starring Heath Ledger in the role of the legendary lover who discovers the meaning of true love when he meets a woman immune to his charms.
