OLD DOGS

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Two best friends—one unlucky-in-love divorcee (ROBIN WILLIAMS) and the other a fun-

loving bachelor (JOHN TRAVOLTA)—have their lives turned upside down when they’re

unexpectedly charged with the care of 7-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest

business deal of their lives. The

not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble

in their efforts to take care

of the twins (newcomers ELLA

BLEU TRAVOLTA and CONNER

RAYBURN), leading to one

debacle after another, and perhaps

to a new-found understanding of

what’s really important in life.

Presented by Walt Disney

Pictures, “OLD DOGS” is directed

by Walt Becker (“Wild Hogs,” “Van

Wilder”) and written by David Diamond (“When in Rome,” “The Family Man”) & David

Weissman (“When in Rome,” “The Family Man”). The film was produced by Andrew Panay

(“When in Rome,” “Wedding Crashers”), Robert L. Levy (“The Comebacks,” “Wedding

Crashers”) and Peter Abrams (“The Comebacks,” “Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj”). Garrett

Grant is executive producer.

The film stars ROBIN WILLIAMS (“Night at the Museum,” “Good Will Hunting,” for

which he won an Oscar® for Best Supporting Actor) as Dan, a workaholic who’s better with

numbers than people, and JOHN TRAVOLTA (“The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,” “Hairspray”) as

Charlie, a fun-loving bachelor who likes his life exactly like it is. KELLY PRESTON (“Jerry

Maguire,” “Addicted to Love,” “The Cat in the Hat”) stars as Vicki, Dan’s old flame who

springs the twins on Dan after keeping them a secret for seven years; SETH GREEN

(“Without a Paddle,” “Robot Chicken,” “Family Guy”) portrays an enthusiastic, up-andcoming

employee at their sports marketing company. Newcomers ELLA BLEU TRAVOLTA

and CONNER RAYBURN star as the twins. The all-star lineup also includes LORI

LOUGHLIN (“90210,” “Summerland”), MATT DILLON (“Crash”), RITA WILSON (“It’s

Complicated,” “Sleepless in Seattle”) and the late BERNIE MAC (“Ocean’s Eleven,” “Ocean’s

Twelve,” “Ocean’s Thirteen”).

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Jeffrey Kimball

(“Four Christmases,” “Bonneville”), production designer David Gropman (“Taking

Woodstock,” “Doubt”), editors Ryan Folsey (“When in Rome,” “Order of Redemption”) and

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

BECOMING “OLD DOGS”

(“Taking Woodstock,” “The Pink Panther 2”), composer John Debney (“Iron Man 2,” “Hannah

Montana The Movie”), and music supervisor Dave Jordan (“Iron Man,” “When in Rome”).

“OLD DOGS” is rated PG by the MPAA for mild rude humor. The film opens in U.S.

theaters on Nov. 25, 2009.

BECOMING “OLD DOGS”

Fun Premise, Funny Cast

Take Robin Williams and John Travolta and put them in a movie about a couple of single

guys who run a sports marketing firm, then toss in some of Hollywood’s funniest actors. What

do you get?

“It’s definitely a broad comedy

with a lot of funny set pieces,” says

producer Andrew Panay, “but most

importantly, it’s got a lot of heart.”

“I rarely read scripts where I’m

just laughing out loud,” says

director Walt Becker. “It has a great

balance of heart, comedy and

wonderful characters.”

“I love working with John; he’s

a kick. He’s not afraid to try stuff.

There are so many great people in this movie. That’s what’s been amazing,” says Williams.

“Kelly Preston—she’s fearless. Seth Green, he’s got it all going on, he’s funny. Rita Wilson,

plus Matt Dillon as a scout master being the alpha male is pretty great, too.”

On the heels of his immensely successful film “Wedding Crashers,” producer Andrew

Panay met with screenwriters David Diamond and David Weissman at a favorite Los Angeles

eatery where the story began to take shape.

The film’s “old dogs”—long-time friends and business partners in their 50s—are indeed set

in their ways. “One of the men

discovers that he’s the father of

fraternal twins that he never knew

about, the result of a hasty one-day

marriage,” explains writer

Weissman. “Now both men, who

have never had children, are forced

to deal with two 7-year-old kids and

all the pitfalls that come with it.”

The filmmakers admit that the

script was developed and written

with a cast already in mind. “Our

first choices were always John Travolta and Robin Williams. There are only a few guys that

this movie is right for, and they are two of the best in the world. I mean, you don’t get much

better,” says Panay. “It’s really an honor to cast two screen legends together in this film. It’s

just a dream come true.”

Becker worked with Travolta on

the box-office smash hit “Wild

Hogs” and was excited to have him

on board. “John’s always great to

work with. He’s just about the

nicest human being on the planet

and as an actor he elevates every

single scene he’s in,” Becker says.

“In terms of instincts, he’s always

right. We’ve learned to trust each

other, and when he’s feeling

something is working or I feel something is working, we kind of run with it.”

Travolta viewed the role as a unique opportunity to combine broad comedy with deep

emotion. “My character Charlie likes his privacy, he likes his life, and he has lots of nice,

expensive things—a great apartment, a cool car. He never planned on a family,” says Travolta.

“I look for parts that I can do something with. I like to think, ‘Can I contribute something

special and make it worthwhile for someone to use me in a film?’ It’s very important that my

interpretation of the character benefits the story.”

Casting Robin Williams opposite Travolta created the ultimate dream team, according to

the filmmakers. Says Becker, “This

could be one of the greatest comedy

pairings in a long time.”

Becker describes Williams as

the consummate performer. “It’s

incredible. He’s an encyclopedia of

jokes, but he’s also got incredible

depth as an actor. He can throw so

much emotion just off a look and in

the next second be incredibly

funny.”

Williams portrays Dan, a

brilliant but uptight executive who is also a romantic at heart. And when he gets impulsive, it’s

in a big way. While recovering from a difficult divorce in South Beach with his pal, Charlie,

Dan finds himself in a quickie marriage—followed by a quickie divorce. Unbeknownst to

Dan, he fathers twins during the brief encounter. Williams saw the film as an opportunity to

revisit fatherhood. “Baby boomers are getting old. You find yourself taking a lot more time to

do everything. We are now our parents; that’s frightening. You find yourself saying ‘I am my

dad,’ and it’s a lot scarier dealing with children in your 50s than it was in your 30s.”

The relationship between Travolta and Williams was also as real as it appears on screen.

“I’ve known Robin for 30 years and consider him to be an old friend,” says Travolta.

Says Williams of his co-star, “A lot of his stuff is really physical and that’s been good,

because he throws it back. If you throw it out there, he’ll come and meet you right there, which

is great.”

Kelly Preston was cast, not as Charlie’s girlfriend, but as Vicki, the mother of Dan’s twins.

BECOMING “OLD DOGS”

“She’s so fantastic, one of the best actresses out

there,” says Panay. “And what’s really interesting is

having her as Robin’s love interest, not John’s. It’s

very exciting because we get to mix it up a bit.”

“It’s so cool,” says Preston. “Vickie is such a great

character. She’s a little high strung, a little crazy, and

that’s fun for me. And to be Robin’s love interest is just

a trip. We had a blast together.

“It’s such a great part and a great script,” Preston

continues. “It was the perfect dream job, because I got

to work with my husband and my daughter in her first

movie.”

Ella Bleu Travolta was cast as one of the twins after

telling her parents she wanted to act. “Then this script

arrived and it’s almost as if she predicted it,” says

Travolta. “How often does a great role come along for

a 7-year-old?”

Travolta says he maintained a constant, but hands-

off, presence on the set. “I knew how to do that because my mother was an actress and director,

and she knew how to separate professional behavior from familial behavior. I’m always Ella’s

dad, but I’m also professional with her. I never interfered with the director’s rapport,” he says.

The young actress says it was easy to work with director Walt Becker. “If I wasn’t saying a

line okay, he’d help me with it or give me better lines,” she says. “And he’s so sweet. He’d tell

us we are so great and gave us high fives.”

A worldwide search was conducted to cast the precocious 7-year-old Zach, the other twin;

filmmakers discovered Conner Rayburn. “We looked under every rock and there was no

comparison,” says Panay. “Conner is a real pro. He’s fantastic.”

Becker says of his two youngest stars, “These are two little pros. They hit their marks. They

did their lines. They even came up to me to suggest new lines. They really grew as actors.”

To portray Craig, the ambitious young maverick longing to succeed in the sports marketing

business, the filmmakers cast the versatile Seth Green. “I was thinking about who was going

to play this guy, and just the visual of Seth Green standing next to Robin Williams and John

Travolta made me laugh,” says Becker. “He could be one of the funniest guys on the planet.

His delivery is just so dry. In every scene, I could cut to him, and with just one look, huge

laughter follows. He was really a treat.”

Green tips his hat to his co-stars. “All of my scenes are with Robin and John and that to me

was very exciting. I’ve been a fan of both of them for so long,” he says. “I’ve been in films

with John, but we haven’t really gotten to do a lot of interacting. And Robin is really a hero of

mine, I’ve loved him for as long as I’ve wanted to be an actor. So getting to act with him was

thrilling.”

The late Bernie Mac was cast as Jimmy Lunchbox, an over-the-top children’s performer

and puppeteer, who also happens to be a genius with electronics.

Lori Loughlin portrays Amanda, the beautiful Japanese interpreter who turns Charlie’s

head. “She comes into the picture when Dan and Charlie are trying to form a deal with a

Japanese firm,” says Loughlin. “She and Charlie become smitten with each other.”

The talented Matt Dillon was cast as Barry, an earnest Pioneer scout leader Dan and

Charlie encounter during a family camping trip. “My character is a little overzealous,” says

Dillon. “He takes being a scout a little too seriously. I really like doing comedy, the chance to

really have fun. I think the best way to play comedy is to play it straight, to play it sincere. I

think it’s gotta be heartfelt.”

Says producer Panay: “What Matt brings to the table is incredible comedic chops. People

loved him in ‘There’s Something

About Mary’—he is unbelievably

funny in that film.”

Rita Wilson, who portrays

Jenna, a hand model and Vicki’s

best friend, was thrilled to be

working with her real-life dear

friend. “I love working with Kelly,”

says Wilson. “We’ve known each

other for probably 16 years, and I

think there is definitely a shorthand

if you already have a

friendship with someone. It makes coming to work that much easier.”

“Rita is absolutely hilarious,” says Preston. “She always makes the character her own.”

“It’s wonderful when your two stars are Robin Williams and John Travolta and then the

supporting cast includes these incredible actors,” says Becker. “There’s never a dull moment.

The material is already terrific and then it gets elevated by such great performances.”

ON LOCATION IN THE BIG APPLE

Filmmakers Capitalize on NYC Locale

The filmmakers selected iconic Manhattan locations, including Central Park, Top of the

Rock, Grand Central Station, Radio City Music Hall, Shea Stadium and Times Square.

“Anytime you get an opportunity

to shoot in New York City, you take

it,” producer Andrew Panay says.

“It’s a challenge in terms of the

crowds and traffic, but wow, what

an energy it gives to the

performances.”

Adds director Walt Becker:

“There are horns honking and

people screaming for John and

Robin in the middle of takes. But

it’s well worth the trouble.”

The director says they chose several unique locales for the production. “We shot the

Bloomberg Building. We shot Top of the Rock, which has never been in a film before. I think

we sold New York in a way that was special and unique.”

Becker credits production designer David Gropman with creating an exciting visual palate.

IN THE BIG APPLE

“I told Gropman that I want to be able to watch this film without the sound and still be

entertained, and he pulled it off. He did a fantastic job,” he says.

One of the more challenging shooting days occurred at Shea Stadium, where filming took

place during an actual ballgame. “Shooting during a live Mets game was a good idea on

paper,” says Becker. “This was probably as close to combat as I’ve ever come. We had 15

minutes to shoot the entire thing. It was kind of guerrilla, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants

filming. There were fans throwing stuff, taking pictures. I think I aged more in that 15 minutes

than I ever have doing a scene.

“We also did one of the bravest

things ever tried in a production,

which was to show our actors live

on the Jumbotron,” Becker

continues. “It was amazing,

because you see Dan and Charlie up

there and everybody’s on the screen

waving. There were our two old

dogs in the middle of 40,000

cheering people and the Jumbotron

read ‘Happy Grandparents Day.’

Just priceless. The Mets organization was so supportive.”

After two weeks of filming in New York, the production moved to Connecticut. Several

interior sets were constructed there, including Charlie’s New York bachelor pad where Dan

brings the kids to stay. Production designer David Gropman designed a two-story child-

unfriendly apartment within a studio in Stanford. “We added the stairs, lots of glass, stainless

steel and sharp edges,” he explains. “I also designed a large deck just outside the windows.

Executive producer Garrett Grant

looked at my model and said, ‘Why

don’t you put a swimming pool out

there?’ So we put an infinity pool

on the deck of a five-story New

York apartment, which added the

final touch to our kid-dangerous

dwelling.”

Several breathtaking exterior

locales were used, including the

historical Putnam Memorial State

Park in Redding, Conn., where Dan

and Charlie take the children to the Pioneer Scout Jamboree. The park dates back to the 1800s,

and Becker wanted to keep that authentic feel. “Walt wanted a real, classic camp look,” says

Gropman. “So instead of using contemporary scout tents, we used beautiful canvas tents of all

sizes. It was fun to do, because it was a beautiful location where we had this great Adirondack

piece of architecture.”

ON THE JOB

Comedy Superstars, Open-Minded Director Create Fun Set

Producer Andrew Panay says Travolta and Williams exhibited two completely different

styles of improvisation. “John has such a controlled improv, it’s always coming from a real

place. He’s always finding the joke

within the joke. Robin is a machine

gun. He keeps on firing the funnies.

So you have two different

approaches, both incredibly funny,”

he says.

Director Walt Becker’s easygoing

style was a good match for

his creative cast. “I always feel like

if you’re not letting your actors

contribute, you’re not getting

everything you can from them,” he

says. “And, frankly, I don’t care if an actor wants to do a scene standing on his head, because

that’s just the way I go. I get one take for the script, one for me, and the rest are for the actor.”

Becker’s method is one the actors truly appreciate. Says Travolta, “I never go outside the

box of the character, because if I do, it’ll end up on the cutting-room floor. I make sure all my

improvisations are character-motivated.”

Preston says she enjoyed the environment filmmakers provided. “Walt is pretty much

accepting of anything. We definitely stay on the page, but he’d suggest I do something else or

come up with ideas. For example, in one scene, I’m dropping the kids off with Dan, and I

really wanted to make it seem more personal, so I used scenarios that happen in my own life.

“And of course, with Robin, he doesn’t need any encouragement,” Preston continues. “He

just takes it to wherever, and Walt won’t cut for the longest time. That is such a blast.”

Rita Wilson says she, too, wanted to add another dimension to her character, who she

describes as a bit eccentric. “I love

the idea of being a hand model,

because that’s a job you see all the

time but take for granted,” says

Wilson. “But I gave Jenna a facial

characteristic which wasn‘t

originally written into the script, a

lazy eye. I am so thankful that Walt

is so open to new thoughts and

ideas.”

The laid-back attitude amongst

cast and crew brought about fun and

levity on set, particularly between the two stars. “John is one of the funniest human beings on

the planet, and he’s always riffing and joking,” says Preston. “So between John and Robin,

who’s always on, it’s almost too much. They’ve got their on-camera schtick and their off-

camera schtick. It’s hilarious either way you look at it.”

ON THE JOB

Daughter Ella says it became one of her biggest challenges. “It’s hard, because when Robin

or my dad are being so funny in a scene, we can’t laugh. We want to laugh, but we can’t. It’s

fun.”

Both Travolta and Williams were

called on for physical comedy. “It’s

been exciting to be this physical at

this age—flying 65 feet in the air in

a superhero suit that looks like

Liberace’s stunt double on

steroids,” says Williams. “If you

want something funny, just run me

into a wall.”

One of the most physical and

enjoyable days on set was the

Pioneer Scout Jamboree in the park. As part of his “Dad’s to-do list,” Zack, a Pioneer scout,

asks Dan and Charlie to take him and Emily camping. They find themselves attempting to

pitch tents, playing extreme Frisbee and shooting skeet. They must also contend with troop

leader Barry, played by Matt Dillon, a serious scout who comes from four generations of

Pioneers.

During the extreme Frisbee match, Becker admits that he let his actors go wild. “We did a

little ‘The Right Stuff’ beat with John and Robin coming out in slow motion,” says Becker. “It

was just fantastic seeing this game, which is supposed to be a non-contact sport, degrade into

an all-out prison-rules game. We had a few casualties, too. Robin pulled a muscle, because he

was going at it so hard—those guys did nearly all their own stunts. Robin and John were

getting the crap beat out of them. The scene worked really well.”

Matt Dillon says he got a kick out of the skeet-shoot scenes. “The script had Barry just

firing at the skeet in a typical way, but Walt added a layer by having Barry shoot cowboy-style

from the hip. It’s probably what makes the scene so ridiculous,” he says.

Seth Green found his ultimate

performance test while shooting an

elaborate Japanese karaoke scene.

His go-getter character immerses

himself in the Japanese culture in

preparation to run the business out

of Japan. “On my second day of

shooting, I did this glitzy karaoke

scene in front of 150 extras. I got to

sing and entertain them, which is

not something I typically do. I

owned that stage,” he laughs. “It’s

very silly seeing me in this kimono with eyeliner and these sparkly shoes, screaming and

jumping around to songs like ‘Mr. Roboto’ and ‘House of Pain.’”

The REAL Old Dog

The film wouldn’t be complete without its four-legged co-star. Filmmakers tapped

Sebastian, a 9-year-old dog, to portray Charlie’s aging hound Lucky. “Obviously, he’s not

supposed to be doing too much, because he’s basically got one foot in the grave,” says trainer

Dawn Barkin. “He does a lot of hanging out on the bed with John. His big, funny sight gag is

that he gets to raise his leg and pee on a plant.”

Barkin, who works for a

company called Paws for Affect,

has been training Sebastian for

several years. She says getting the

seasoned canine to do the leg-lift

was surprisingly easy. “He picked it

up in a day and a half, which is

extremely quick, and he loves to do

it. He walks up to objects and just

lifts his leg up like it’s the funniest

thing in the world. It’s a behavior he

enjoys doing,” she says.

The filmmakers agree that the whole process was an enjoyable one—one they think will

come through on the big screen. “I think the audience can expect to have a really fun time,”

says Becker. “And that’s whether you’re a 90-year-old grandma or a 9-year-old boy or a 20year-

old college student.”

“I want to make movies that make people happy and make people laugh,” says Panay. “I

believe we’ve done that with ‘OLD DOGS.’”

ABOUT THE CAST

JOHN TRAVOLTA (Charlie) has been honored twice with

Academy Award® nominations, the latest for his riveting portrayal of

a philosophical hit-man in Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” He

ABOUT THE CAST

Film Festival decided to recognize Travolta with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his role.

He previously starred in a number of monumental films, earning his first Oscar® and

Golden Globe® nominations for his role in the blockbuster “Saturday Night Fever,” which

launched the disco phenomenon in the 1970s. He went on to star in the big-screen version of

the long-running musical “Grease” and the wildly successful “Urban Cowboy,” which also

influenced trends in popular culture. Additional film credits include the Brian DePalma

thrillers “Carrie” and “Blowout,” as well as Amy Heckerling’s hit comedy “Look Who’s

Talking” and Nora Ephron’s comic hit “Michael.” Travolta starred in “Phenomenon” and took

an equally distinctive turn as an action star in John Woo’s top-grossing “Broken Arrow.” He

also starred in the classic “Face/Off ” opposite Nicolas Cage, and “The General’s Daughter,”

co-starring Madeline Stowe. Recently, Travolta reprised the role of ultra cool Chili Palmer in

the “Get Shorty” sequel “Be Cool.” In addition, he starred opposite Scarlett Johansson in the

critically acclaimed independent feature film “A Love Song for Bobby Long,” which was

screened at the Venice Film Festival, where both Travolta and the film won rave reviews.

action-thriller “Ladder 49,” the movie version of the successful comic book “The Punisher,”

the drama “Basic,” the psychological thriller “Domestic Disturbance,” the hit action picture

“Swordfish,” the successful sci-fi movie “Battlefield Earth,” based upon the best-selling novel

by L. Ron Hubbard, and “Lonely Hearts.”

Most recently, Travolta starred opposite Denzel Washington in director Tony Scott’s remake

of “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,” and he provided the voice of the lead character in Walt

Disney Pictures’ animated hit “Bolt.”

An Academy Award®-winning actor and multiple Grammy®

winning performer unparalleled in the scope of his imagination,

ROBIN WILLIAMS (Dan) continues to add to his repertoire of

indelible characters.

Williams, who began his career as a stand-up comedian, is

currently on the second leg of his sold-out comedy tour entitled

“Weapons of Self Destruction.” The critically-acclaimed tour has

taken him across the United States and Canada, and to the United

Kingdom where he performed two nights at the historic Gielgud

Theatre on London’s West End to benefit the Prince’s Trust. The

current leg will include Williams’ highly anticipated return to the New York City stage and two

dates in Washington, DC, where the show will be filmed for an HBO special to air in

December 2009.

On the big screen, Williams was most recently seen starring in the dark comedy, “World’s

Greatest Dad.” The film premiered to raves at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and Williams’

performance has been touted as one of the best of his career. Bobcat Goldthwait directed the

film, which was released by Magnolia Pictures in August 2009.

Well known for his free-associative monologues and for pointing out life’s absurdities

through his astute social and political observations, Williams’ last stand-up comedy tour was

in 2002. After a 16-year absence from the stand-up scene, he hit the road and toured America

with a critically acclaimed one-man show that visited 36 cities. That tour became the highest-

grossing comedy tour ever and culminated in a final performance filmed by HBO and

broadcast live from New York on July 14, 2002. The special, entitled “Robin Williams: Live

on Broadway,” was nominated for five Emmy Awards®.

In 1997, Williams received an Oscar® and a Screen Actors Guild Award® for his

performance as Sean Maguire, the therapist who counsels Matt Damon’s math genius

character in Gus Van Sant’s “Good Will Hunting.” The Academy previously nominated

Williams for Best Actor in “The Fisher King,” “Dead Poets Society,” and “Good Morning,

Vietnam.” Williams garnered a special honor from the National Board of Review for his

performance opposite Robert DeNiro in “Awakenings.” In 2004, Williams received the

prestigious Career Achievement Award from the Chicago International Film festival and, in

2005, the HFPA honored him with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for outstanding contributions

to the world of entertainment.

Williams’ filmography includes a number of blockbusters. In 1993, he starred in Chris

Columbus’ “Mrs. Doubtfire.” For Mike Nichols, Williams portrayed Armand Goldman in

“The Birdcage,” for which the cast won a SAG Ensemble Award®. In 1996, both “The

Birdcage” and “Jumanji” reached the $100 million mark in the USA in exactly the same week.

Williams went on to assume the dual roles of Peter Pan/Peter Banning in Steven Spielberg’s

“Hook,” to play a medical student who treats patients with humor in “Patch Adams” and to

star in Disney’s “Flubber.” In 2006, Williams appeared opposite Ben Stiller in the hit comedy

“Night at the Museum.” To date, the film has earned more than $250 million in the United

States alone. In May 2009, he reprised his role as Teddy Roosevelt in the sequel “Night at the

Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian,” which so far has earned another $400 million for the

franchise worldwide. In addition, Williams’ award-winning vocal talents helped propel the

Warner Bros. animated film “Happy Feet” to another $200 million box office, as well as the

Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature Film.

Williams first captured the attention of the world as Mork from Ork on the hit series “Mork

& Mindy.” Born in Chicago and raised in both Michigan and California, he trained at New

York’s Juilliard School under John Houseman. Williams made his cinematic debut as the title

character in Robert Altman’s “Popeye.” Additional early motion picture credits include Paul

Mazursky’s “Moscow on the Hudson,” in which he played a Russian musician who decides to

defect, and “The World According to Garp,” George Roy Hill’s adaptation of John Irving’s

acclaimed best-selling novel about a writer and his feminist mother. More recent credits

include Sony Pictures’ hit comedy “R.V.,” Barry Levinson’s political comedy “Man of the

Year,” and the Ken Kwapis comedy “License to Wed,” opposite John Krasinski and Mandy

Moore.

In a departure from the usual comedic and family fare he is best known for, Williams

collaborated with two accomplished young directors on dramatic thrillers. For Christopher

Nolan, he starred opposite Al Pacino as reclusive novelist Walter Finch, the primary suspect

in the murder of a teenaged girl in a small Alaskan town, in “Insomnia.” In Mark Romanek’s

“One Hour Photo,” Williams played a photo lab employee who becomes obsessed with a

young suburban family.

Using only his voice, Williams created one of the most vivid characters in recent

memory—the Blue Genie of the Lamp in Disney’s “Aladdin.” The performance redefined how

animations were voiced. Audio versions of his one-man shows and the children’s record

“Pecos Bill” have won him five Grammy Awards®. More recently, Williams lent his vocal

talents to the blockbuster hit animated feature “Robots.”

ABOUT THE CAST

Williams’ stage credits include a landmark production of Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for

Godot,” directed by Mike Nichols and co-starring Steve Martin, and, most recently, a short run

in San Francisco of “The Exonerated,” which tells the true stories of six innocent survivors of

death row.

Offstage, Williams takes great joy in supporting numerous causes including health care,

human rights, education, environmental protection and the arts, among others. He has toured

the Middle East four times to help raise morale among the troops and is, perhaps, best known

philanthropically for his affiliation with “Comic Relief,” which was founded in 1986 as a nonprofit

organization to help America’s homeless. To date, the overall efforts of the “Comic

Relief ” organization have raised more than $50 million.

A talented and captivating performer, KELLY PRESTON

(Vicki) has performed in a broad range of motion pictures,

portraying roles in such diverse films as “Jerry Maguire,” “Citizen

Ruth” and “For the Love of the Game.” Her dynamic and

compelling performances have proven her to be one of the most

sought-after actors of our generation.

Preston was born and raised in Hawaii. As a result of her father’s

position with an agricultural firm, the family moved first to Iraq for

one year and then to Australia for two years. It was while she was a

teenager in Hawaii that Preston appeared in television commercials

and began to develop an interest in an acting career.

Preston graduated from Punahou High School in Hawaii, along with fellow alumni,

President Barack Obama. She then relocated to Los Angeles and enrolled in the University of

Southern California where she studied drama and theatre. She ultimately transferred to the

University of California at Los Angeles and decided to pursue acting seriously. She would

soon win her very first audition.

Preston recently wrapped production on “The Last Song,” based on Nicholas Sparks’ latest

novel. The film stars Greg Kinnear as an estranged father who tries to reconnect with his

teenaged daughter (Miley Cyrus) through the only thing they have in common—music.

Preston portrays the teen’s mother in the story of family, friendship, secrets and salvation, first

loves and second chances. The film is directed by Julie Anne Robinson from a screenplay by

Sparks & Jeff Van Wie.

Preston recently filmed “Casino Jack” alongside Kevin Spacey. The film is based on the

true story of a hot-shot Washington, D.C. lobbyist and his protégé, who both go down hard as

their schemes to peddle influence lead to corruption and murder. Preston plays the role of Pam

Abramoff.

She was seen on a four-episode arc on the hit NBC show “Medium” as an attractive venture

capitalist who likes what she sees when she teams with Joe Dubois (Jake Weber), ultimately

creating tension in his marriage.

Recent projects include the HBO pilot, “Suburban Shootout,” directed by Barry

Sonnenfeld, and the Lifetime Original Movie “The Tenth Circle” with Ron Eldard. Based on

The New York Times best-selling novel by Jodi Picoult, “The Tenth Circle” is a powerful

account of an American family, and a story that probes the unbreakable bond between parent

and child. Preston can also be seen in the Fox thriller “Death Sentence” with Kevin Bacon,

directed by James Wan.

Preston made her feature-film debut in the hit motion picture “Twins,” opposite Arnold

Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. She starred in the Academy Award®-nominated short

“Little Surprises,” directed by Jeff Goldblum.

Mike Meyers, the dark comedy “Eulogy” with Ray Romano and Debra Winger, “Addicted to

Love,” co-starring Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick , and the comedy “Nothing to Lose,”

opposite Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence.

Preston also starred in the feature film comedy “The Holy Man,” with Eddie Murphy and

Jeff Goldblum; “Jack Frost,” opposite Michael Keaton; “Daddy and Them,” directed by Billy

Bob Thornton; “View From the Top” with Gwyneth Paltrow and Christina Applegate; and

“What a Girl Wants,” opposite Amanda Bynes and Colin Firth.

SETH GREEN (Craig) was named the Best TV Actor by

Entertainment Weekly magazine while E! Entertainment

Television’s poll proclaimed him the hottest young actor in

Hollywood. He recently wrapped the lead role in Disney’s upcoming

“Mars Needs Moms.” Green and Matthew Senreich

created/executive produce/write/direct (and Green provides multiple

voices each week for) the Emmy®-winning “Robot Chicken,” their

stop-motion animation, pop-culture parody show on Cartoon

Network’s Adult Swim. The “Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II”

special earned Green an Outstanding Voiceover Emmy nomination

and the 2009 Annie Awards for writing and best animated TV show. Green won the 2008

Annie Award for directing the first “Robot Chicken: Star Wars” special and both specials were

Emmy-nominated. Green, Senreich and Tom Root executive produce “Titan Maximum,” their

new Adult Swim show with Green voicing the villain. Green also voices Chris Griffin on

“Family Guy,” the hit Fox animated series.

Green was the lead in Paramount’s comedy “Without a Paddle,” and the indie film “Party

Monster.” He also won rave reviews for his starring turns in “Knockaround Guys,” “Can’t

Hardly Wait,” “The Italian Job,” “America’s Sweethearts,” “Rat Race,” all three “Austin

Powers” films, and numerous television roles. He mocked his well-earned nice-guy rep on

“Entourage.” Aside from his other accolades, Green reached the pinnacle of showbiz success

in the most tangible medium…multiple action figures made in his likeness by the industry’s

top toymakers.

He’s worked almost non-stop since he began in the business at age 7. Green was born on

February 8, 1974. He signed with a manager who had him working the next day on an

RCA/John Denver promotion. Soon he was commuting regularly between Philadelphia and

locations across the country. At 8, Green landed his first film assignment, a co-starring role

in “Hotel New Hampshire,” at 12, a lead in Woody Allen’s “Radio Days” and was soon trading

quips with Carson. He was the rare child actor (“Big Business,” “My Stepmother Is an Alien,”

ABOUT THE CAST

including starring in David Mamet’s “American Buffalo” at the Old Globe in San Diego in

’96. He also starred on TV in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Greg the Bunny” and “Four

Kings.”

He already reached his original goal of “getting all my friends together to make a movie or

TV show.” Green, Senreich and Root have a series pilot deal at Fox and have several films in

development. He and his childhood friend, Hugh Sterbakov, created a comic book for Top

Cow, “Freshmen,” which debuted at the 2005 Comic-Con and sold out across the country the

week of its debut. Known for his professionalism on and off the set, Green says, “I don’t take

myself seriously but I take what I do seriously—I always want to work hard and to appreciate

what I am getting.”

ELLA BLEU TRAVOLTA (Emily) makes her foray into acting

with her feature film debut in Walt Disney Pictures’ “Old Dogs.”

The daughter of John Travolta and Kelly Preston, Ella Bleu stars as

7-year-old Emily.

Now 9, Travolta’s hobbies include swimming, skateboarding and

horseback riding. The animal lover and avid golf-cart driver also

enjoys arts and crafts, computers, reading, writing stories, traveling

and collecting coins and gems.

Best recognized for her role as Rebecca Donaldson on the long-

running hit comedy series “Full House,” LORI LOUGHLIN

(Amanda) (pronounced LOCK-lin) has now added another iconic

series to resume – the CW’s new incarnation of “90210.” She plays

the mother of two teenagers who struggles with her family’s move

from the normalcy in Kansas to the fast lane of Beverly Hills. Her

most recent feature film was “Moondance Alexander,” in which she

portrayed an eccentric mother whose daughter finds a pony and is

determined to win the Bow Valley Classic, learning that loyalty and

individuality can land you in the winners circle.

Born and raised in Hauppauge, Long Island, Loughlin got her start in show business at a

young age. She was cast in the daytime drama “The Edge of Night,” for which she received a

Young Artist Award nomination for Best Young Actress in a Daytime Series.

In 1985, Loughlin was cast in the feature film “Secret Admirer,” a romantic comedy costarring

C. Thomas Howell and Kelly Preston. Loughlin also starred opposite Treat Williams

in “Critical Mass.” She appeared in the beach movie spoof “Back to the Beach,” as well as in

“Rad,” a film about BMX racing and “Amityville 3-D,” the third installment of the

“Amityville” horror movie franchise.

In addition to “Full House,” Loughlin was a regular in “Hudson Street,” a comedy starring

Tony Danza. She was also the star and producer of The WB’s family drama “Summerland.”

Other television roles have included an after-school special titled “No Means No,” for which

she received an Emmy® nomination for Best Actress. Loughlin also worked with Jim Carrey

in the television movie “Doing Time on Maple Drive” and starred in “In the Line of Duty:

Blaze of Glory.” She has made repeat performances in a number of series, including “The

Drew Carey Show” and “Spin City,” and guest-starred in such series as “Seinfeld,” “Suddenly

Susan,” “The Larry Sanders Show” and The WB drama “Birds of Prey.”

Loughlin resides in Los Angeles with her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli,

and their three children.

CONNER RAYBURN (Zach) spent five seasons honing his

comedic acting skills as Kyle on the Emmy®-nominated ABC series

“According to Jim,” collecting a Young Artist Award nomination for

his role as one of the title character’s (portrayed by Jim Belushi) five

children.

In addition, he’s had guest roles in “Monk” and “Cold Case,”

acted in the movies “The Invention of Lying,” “Big Momma’s House

2” and “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,” and did voiceover work

as a giraffe in “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.”

In “According to Jim,” Rayburn inevitably came off as a

believable kid whether the plot was an everyday storyline (boy gets picked on by a bully) or

wildly ridiculous (boy sleeps in a dresser drawer). Rayburn was encouraged to influence the

development of his character in the sitcom, and he had a major hand in building the theme and

sequence for a Blue Cross/Blue Shield commercial in which he appeared.

He might not yet be a teen, but he’s already aiming to build on his experience in front of

the camera to become a movie and TV director.

Born April 7, 1999, in Dickson, Tennessee—about 40 miles west of Nashville—Rayburn’s

first years gave no hint at the entertainment career that awaited him. After the family moved

to Nevada, Rayburn, along with his brother, was enrolled in acting classes. Both received a

place in the school, and both quickly won commercials—Rayburn’s first was a spot for Net

Zero Internet Services during the fall of 2004.

In short order, he also picked up the “According to Jim” role. It gave him a head start on

his career, plus some valuable relationships with Belushi and actress Kimberly Williams-

Paisley.

At age 10, Rayburn is living a two-city life. The family stays in Los Angeles when he’s

working, returning to Tennessee in his downtime to keep the boys grounded and to stay close

to family.

MATT DILLON (Barry) has built a successful film career that

spans three decades, showcasing his wide range of dramatic and

comedic talents. As The New York Times’ film critic A.O. Scott put

it, “He seems to be getting better with every film.”

From his breakthrough performance in “The Outsiders” to his

hilarious turn as an obsessed private investigator in “There’s

Something About Mary,” Dillon has proven himself to be one of the

most versatile actors of his generation. His numerous film credits

include “Factotum,” in which he played Charles Bukowski, “Rumble

Fish,” “Over the Edge,” “My Bodyguard,” “One Night at McCool’s,”

ABOUT THE CAST

John McNaughton’s “Wild Things,” “In & Out,” Kevin Spacey’s “Albino Alligator,” “Grace of

My Heart,” Ted Demme’s “Beautiful Girls,” Gus Van Sant’s “To Die For,” “Kansas,” “Golden

Gate,” “Mr. Wonderful,” “The Flamingo Kid,” “The Saint of Fort Washington,” Cameron

Crowe’s “Singles” and “A Kiss Before Dying,” and “You, Me and Dupree,” opposite Kate

Hudson and Owen Wilson.

In 1990, Dillon won an IFP Spirit Award for his gritty performance as a drug addict in Gus

Van Sant’s “Drugstore Cowboy.” He also displayed his versatility with an arresting

performance co-starring as a racist cop in the critically acclaimed Paul Haggis film “Crash.”

This role earned him nominations for an Academy Award®, Golden Globe Award®, Screen

Actors Guild Award®, Critics Choice Award and BAFTA Award, as well as an Independent

Spirit Award win. In addition, the film won both a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Critics

Choice Award for Best Ensemble.

Aside from being an accomplished actor, Dillon wrote, and made his feature film

directorial debut with “City of Ghosts,” in which he also starred with Gérard Depardieu,

Stellan Skarsgård and James Caan. Prior to “City of Ghosts,” Dillon made his television

directorial debut in 1997 with an episode of HBO’s gritty prison drama “Oz.”

He will next be seen in “Armored” and “Takers,” both for Screen Gems.

The late BERNIE MAC (Johnny Lunchbox) went from the

small comedy clubs of Chicago to become one of the highest-

grossing comedians, selling out arenas and theatres all across the

country. He passed away in Aug. 2008.

Mac appeared in the Dimension Films comedy “Soul Men” with

Samuel L. Jackson. They starred as estranged soul-singing legends

on a reunion tour. He was also heard in the DreamWorks Animation

sequel “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.” Mac provided the voice of

Zuba, who turns out to be the wild father of Ben Stiller’s zoo-

pampered lion, Alex.

Mac had a first-look deal with Lions Gate Entertainment. He appeared in the Lions Gate

feature “Pride.” The film is based on the true life story of determined swim coach Jim Ellis

(Terrence Howard), who starts a swim team for troubled teens at the Philadelphia Department

of Recreation. Mac plays the janitor who helps fight to keep the recreation center open for the

kids. In May 2007, Mac re-teamed with the original cast for the Warner Bros. feature “Ocean’s

Thirteen.”

In 2002, Mac created the family comedy “The Bernie Mac Show,” in which he also starred.

He received Emmy Award® nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in

2002 and 2003 and the show won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series in

2003. The show also received the Peabody Award, two Television Critics Association Awards

for Best Comedy Series and Best Comedy Performance, and a NAACP Image Award for Best

Comedy Series and Best Actor.

Mac was seen in the feature films “Head of State,” the highly anticipated sequel “Charlie’s

Angels 2: Full Throttle,” the holiday hit “Bad Santa,” the Disney feature “Mr. 3000” and the

remake of “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”

Never one to focus on any one medium, Mac wrote his first book, “I Ain’t Scared of You,”

which was published in fall 2001. In it, he ripped through such topics as sex, religion, hygiene,

celebrity and more without missing a beat. In his second book, a more traditional

autobiography entitled “Maybe You Never Cry Again,” Mac expounds upon growing up in

Chicago and the hardships and obstacles in his path to the top.

As a founding member of the “Kings of Comedy” comedy tour, Mac displayed his

trademark rapid-fire and hard-hitting delivery. The success of the tour spawned Spike Lee’s

2000 concert film “The Original Kings of Comedy,” which has grossed nearly $40 million.

Born and raised in Chicago, Mac made his television debut on the landmark HBO comedy

series “Russell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam” which led to him being cast in the Damon

Wayans feature “Mo’ Money,” marking his feature-film debut. Other film credits include the

Eddie Murphy/Martin Lawrence comedy “Life,” “House Party 3,” “How to Be a Player” and

“What’s the Worst That Could Happen?”

Actor/Producer RITA WILSON (Jenna) first donned her

producer’s cap for the record-breaking box-office hit “My Big Fat

Greek Wedding.” Wilson was the driving force behind bringing Nia

Vardalos’ semi-autobiographical story to the screen with Vardalos as

the lead. Wilson was honored with the Visionary Award from the

Producers Guild of America, and the film won the People’s Choice

Award for Favorite Comedy, as well as Golden Globe® and Oscar®

nominations. Wilson recently reteamed with Nia Vardalos as

executive producer for “My Life in Ruins.”

In 2008 Wilson served as an executive producer on the Universal

Studios hit film version of the ABBA stage musical “Mamma Mia!,” starring Meryl Streep

and Pierce Brosnan. Seeing the play in London soon after it opened, and loving the energy and

ABBA music, Wilson felt immediately that it could be a wonderful movie. She got the ball

rolling on the film before the play made it to audiences outside of the U.K.

Film credits include the upcoming Nancy Meyers film “It’s Complicated” with Meryl

Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, “Sleepless in Seattle” with Tom Hanks and Meg

Ryan, “Runaway Bride” with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, and “The Story of Us,” costarring

Michelle Pfeiffer and Bruce Willis. Other film credits include “Beautiful, Ohio” with

with Ralph Fiennes, “Raise Your Voice” with Hilary Duff, “Auto Focus” with Greg Kinnear,

Gus Van Sant’s “Psycho” and Nora Ephron’s “Mixed Nuts” with Steve Martin.

Wilson is currently about to appear on the New York stage in “Love, Loss & What I Wore,”

written by Nora & Delia Ephron, beginning November 18 and continuing until December 13.

In 2007, Wilson starred in the world premiere of Lisa Loomer’s “Distracted,” directed by

Leonard Foglia at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. Wilson made a personal dream come

true and made her Broadway debut in 2006 as Roxie Hart in “Chicago: The Musical.” She also

starred in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Dinner with Friends” in Los Angeles and Boston,

directed by Dan Sullivan. Wilson works with the Shakespeare Festival/LA, a charity that

provides free Shakespeare to the citizens of Los Angeles, as well providing a program for

youths in the community.

On television, Wilson has foiled Larry David in “The Doll” episode of “Curb Your

Enthusiasm,” has been girlfriend and mother to Kelsey Grammer’s “Frasier,” and co-starred as

Susan Borman in HBO’s Emmy Award®-winning miniseries “From the Earth to the Moon.”

30-year friendship that dates back to their high school days together in Philadelphia. They

parted company for college; Diamond studied film at NYU and Weissman studied Chinese

history, first at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and then at the University of Michigan.

Weissman received two Masters Degrees in the subject, one from the University of Wisconsin

the big screen, followed in January 2010 by Touchstone Pictures’ romantic comedy “When in

Rome,” starring Kristin Bell and Josh Duhamel.

Diamond and Weissman are both married and have five children between them, ranging in

age from 4 to 10. It brings them enormous pleasure to bring their unique blend of raucous

comedy and genuine emotion and join the Walt Disney Company in creating entertainment the

whole family can enjoy.

ANDREW PANAY (Producer) of Panay Films, a Walt Disney Motion Picture-based
