2003 Academy Award nominee for Best Original Score Academy Award winners Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind) and Sir Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) star in the dramatic thriller House of Sand and Fog, based on the acclaimed bestseller by Andre Dubus III. Massoud Amir Behrani (Sir Ben Kingsley) is living a lie to fulfill a dream. Once a member of the Shah of Iran’s elite inner circle, Massoud has brought his family to America to build a new life. Despite a pretense of continued affluence, he is barely making ends meet until he sees his opportunity in the auction of a house being sold for back taxes. It is a terrible mistake. Through a bureaucratic snafu, the house had been improperly seized from its rightful owner, Kathy Nicolo (Jennifer Connelly). The loss of her home tears away Kathy’s last hope of a stable life — a life that had been nearly destroyed by addiction — and Kathy decides to fight to recover her home…at any cost. House of Sand and Fog exposes the unsettling truth that it is sometimes our hopes and not our hatreds that drive us to ruin, in a devastating exploration of the American Dream gone terribly awry. The film also stars Ron Eldard (Black Hawk Down) as deputy sheriff Lester Burdon, who tries to take the law into his own hands to help Kathy; major Iranian film star Shohreh Aghdashloo as Behrani’s wife, Nadi; Jonathan Ahdout as their son Esmail; and Frances Fisher as Kathy’s attorney who tries to help her reclaim her home. The score for House of Sand and Fog by James Horner is, unquestionably, one of the composer’s most dramatic. The final thirty minutes of the film is scored almost continuously and the powerfully emotional music is not soon forgotten after the closing credits. Both Kingsley and Connelly are already being talked about with expectations of Oscar nominations. DreamWorks will be opening the film on December 19, for Academy consideration, and it will widen on December 26. Catalog #: 302 066 532 2 Release Date: 12/09/03 1. An Older Life (1:54) 2.
