Temple Grandin opens in Austin!

The premiere of HBO's new film "TEMPLE GRANDIN" went down last night at the Austin Convention Center. Austin was chosen for the special premiere to highlight the local contributions that were made in making the movie. The premiere was hosted by HBO in partnership with The Austin Film Festival and Time Warner Cable of Austin. In attendance was Dr. Temple Grandin, whom the film is based on, Jenni Sherwood, Vice President of HBO Films, director Mick Jackson, as well as much of the cast and crew who worked on the film.

The film stars Claire Danes in the lead, along with David Strathairn(who has made a plethora of films but always makes me think of "The River Wild"), Catherine O'Hara(a Christopher Guest regular) and Julia Ormond(that lucky biotch from "Legends of the Fall").
