Centre for Journalism: The Movie

The blockbuster movie of the summer gets its eagerly-anticipated premiere today. Directed by Bafta-winner Richard Pendry, it contains all the elements you would expect from the Centre for Journalism stable:  a stellar cast; superb production values; a brilliant script; heart-stopping action; thrilling drama; and, of course, tender romance. 

Cameron Diaz stars as Laura Hartmann, Matt Damon plays Alan McGuinness, and Angeline Jolie is Kelsey Williams, while Tom Cruise takes on the challenging role of John Saunders. Watch out, too, for the cameo performance in the radio booth by Gwyneth Paltrow as Rebekah Floyd. You should also be able to spot several other Oscar-nominated Hollywood legends in the dramatic newsroom sequences. Note any sightings in the comments below.

Critical reaction is already promising. “A tour de force,” raved Sky News. “Better than Bond,” said the Times. “A magical journey,” gushed the New Yorker.

Enjoy.
