Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) leads a team of scientists who are set to
launch a contraption that can retrieve information from the eye of
tornadoes. Bill (Bill Paxton), the inventor of the machine and Jo's
ex-husband, arrives with his new fiancée Melissa just as a major
storm is about to hit the area. Unable to resist the call of the
wind, Bill rejoins his team in a dangerous chase after the mother
of all tornadoes: the F5.
The new film from Oscar(R)-nominated writer/director Todd Field
("In the Bedroom"), based on the acclaimed novel by Tom Perrotta,
starring Kate Winslet, Jennifer Connelly, and Patrick Wilson.
"Little Children" centers on a handful of individuals whose lives
intersect on the playgrounds, town pools, and streets of their
small community in surprising and potentially dangerous ways. While
it is based on an acclaimed novel, Todd Field and Tom Perrotta
wanted to create a film that stood on its own, independent of the
book. Field says, "The struggle for identity is what these
characters battle from the start; it leads to a hunger they are
unable to satiate--violence and fear hold sway. The shame of how
they see themselves when the fingers start pointing. It was with
this idea in mind that Tom and I began our work together."
Tom Perotta elaborates, "For me, as a novelist, the attraction of a
film adaptation lies precisely in this opportunity to re-imagine my
book with someone else, and explore new possibilities for the
characters and the story."
This fascinating Newmarket Shooting Script(R) book documents the
successful collaboration between these two talented artists. The
book includes an introduction by Tom Perrotta, the complete
shooting script, critical essays, a Q&A with Todd Field, a
section of 23 color photos, and the complete cast and crew credits.
