Guys and gals, there's a new girly girl movie coming your way May 9th, 2008. But don't worry guys, this one's perfect to take mom to or that hot date you've lined up. Get ready for THE STONE ANGEL starring Ellen Burstyn and Ellen Page. Based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Laurence, The Stone Angel is the story of feisty firecracker Hagar Shipley (Christine Horne, Oscar Winner Ellen Burstyn). Her passionate heart has always ruled her head and her choices have put her at odds with family and friends. With her life nearly behind her, she sets out in search of a way to reconcile herself to her turbulent past. Through her reflections we come to know a passionate and rebellious young bride, her love for her two sons, the freedoms she claimed, and the joys she denied herself.

So go on, take Mom to see it and share the popcorn with her.

thanks for the heads up on that....is it a wide release or just limited?

I haven't seen any trailers for it...

The Stone Angel is in limited release - very limited. Five cities in Canada until May 23rd, then it will enjoy slightly wider circulation before it goes to DVD in the summer.

And any adaptation of Margaret Laurence's classic novels is probably going to meet some commercial success here in Canada, and do well in Can Lit circles around the world.
