NO DOUBT about VIOLA DAVIS


VIOLA DAVIS knocks it out the box in the new film DOUBT, acting and holding her own with Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The film opens Dec. 12. Ms. Davis won the Breakthrough Performance by an Actress Award from The National Board of Review, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the Critics Choice Awards.
Get your flack on it; you need a great dress to walk the Red Carpet to the Oscars.

The film takes us back to 1964 at St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A vibrant, charismatic priest, Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman), is trying to upend the schools' strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep), the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline.

John Patrick Shanley brings his Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play to the screen as a gripping story about the quest for truth, the forces of change, and the crippling consequences of absolute blind justice in a time defined by cloudy moral conviction.
