"The Age of Stupid," coming to a theater near you

There's no shortage of news articles, scientific reports, and even scientific documentaries issuing dire warnings about climate change. But sometimes it takes the emotional punch that only a big screen feature film can pack to move people to take action on a long term crisis like global warming. And that's the kind of emotional punch that The Age of Stupid will deliver when it hits U.S. theaters on September 21st.

The Age of Stupid is the documentary/drama/animation hybrid from Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel, Drowned Out) and Oscar-winning Producer John Battsek (One Day In September, Live Forever, In the Shadow of the Moon). Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off, The Usual Suspects) stars as an old man living the year 2055 -- in a planet ravaged by runaway climate change. . He watches 'archive' footage from 2008 and asks: Why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?

Check out this trailer of the movie:

The movie will launch in the U.S. on September 21st 2009 from a solar-powered cinema tent in New York LIVE to 115,000 people in 400 movie theatres across the country. For more information check out AgeofStupid.net or RSVP for the world premiere on Facebook.
