LIONS FOR LAMBS

Bob Redford's LIONS FOR LAMBS, his new political thriller with Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, and himself, will world premiere at the London Film Festival on OCT 22. The film, from THE KINGDOM screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan, revolves around three storylines all set against the backdrop of the invasion of Afghanistan right after the 9/11 attacks. It's an interesting picture for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that it's the first movie to be released by the newly restructured United Artists, which Tom Cruise is now operating as studio chief.
