SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LITTLE
WOMEN, the anticipated modern-day adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's timeless classic, opens this
Friday in 600 theaters nationwide from Pinnacle Peak, who is
managing the marketing and distribution for the film. LITTLE
WOMEN is a celebration of the female voice and the bond of
sisterhood. Clare Niederpruem makes
her directorial debut on the film; the story was adapted by
Niederpruem and Kristi Shimek.
Lea Thompson (BACK TO THE FUTURE),
who stars as "Marmee," has been promoting the film through national
media, including an upcoming appearance on NBC's "TODAY" with
Kathie Lee and Hoda on Wednesday, September 26th; other major
media planned for launch week includes Hallmark's "Home &
Family," HLN's "Morning Express with Robin
Meade," and multi-market satellite radio and TV tours.
A global shoe company, IMPO International, is a major sponsor of
LITTLE WOMEN.
"IMPO International celebrates LITTLE WOMEN and
the journey of women everywhere," said Jim
Maloney, IMPO's Vice President of Marketing, and Global
Production. "It was clear to us that Pinnacle Peak's interpretation
of LITTLE WOMEN represents the transcendence of
today's young women in their coming of age experience. We saw a
wholesome family movie that is both forward thinking, and caring
about what matters most today to mothers and daughters. We felt a
unique synergy with this film. IMPO seeks to offer something more
than just trend leading fashion, we are driven to deliver improved
fit and comfort with our shoes. We want women everywhere to feel as
comfortable, confident and individual in their shoes as they feel
in their own skin."
Maclain Nelson produced the
film with Main Dog Productions (Kristi
Shimek, Steve Shimek and
David Wulf), in association
with Marybeth Sprows, Chris
Donahue and Paulist Productions.
Pinnacle Peak is also partnering with the Parents Television
Council, who provided their seal of approval for the film, on
special pre-release theater events for local premieres.
Additionally, Pinnacle Peak created opportunities for school field
trips, girls' night out events, and organizational events, in
theaters the week of release. Their school program includes seven
educational ideas that tie in both the film and also the classic
novel, for a Dream Together campaign to support students in
achieving their goals. Additionally, their organizational programs
include great resources tied to the film, including an online
portal for individuals to create vision boards, inspired by the
sisters' castles in the air portrayed in the film.
Along with Thompson, LITTLE WOMEN stars Sarah
Davenport as "Jo," Melanie Stone as
"Meg," Taylor Murphy as "Amy," Allie
Jennings as "Beth," Ian Bohen (Teen
Wolf) as "Freddy," Lucas Grabeel (High School
Musical, "Family Guy") as "Laurie," and Bart
Johnson (High School Musical) as "Papa March."
Synopsis:
On the 150th anniversary of the beloved
classic (published in 1868), a modern retelling of LITTLE
WOMEN dares a new generation to dream with their mothers,
sisters and friends. From girls playing in the attic to women
living with purpose, the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—are
committed to always supporting each other. Yet growing up sometimes
means growing apart.
An aspiring writer, Jo leaves for New
York determined to publish a novel, but her editor
challenges her to write about something more interesting—her
family. When tragedy brings the sisters back home, sticking
together takes on new meaning. As Jo comforts her sick sister, Beth
asks for one thing: a story.
Jo knows the perfect one … by heart.
