"Aurora Borealis" Post-Festival News, Reviews & Cannes?

With the Tribeca Film Festival drawing to a close, a buzz has been stirring about "Aurora" and while we wait to hear about distribution to theaters, a nice comment was posted today at the official production website:

" entitled entertainment is proud to announce that AURORA BOREALIS opened to sold-out crowds at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival. The film was also chosen as "Editor's Choice" and "Top Ten of the Festival" by Moviephone.com. "

"Joshua Jackson is pitch-perfect as the kind of aimless twenty-something whose sourpuss exterior hides a big teddy-bear heart. All that changes after he decides to visit his crotchety old granddad (Donald Sutherland), who talks some sense into the boy - - and introduces him to hottie nurse, Juliette Lewis. Sure, it sounds cornier than greeting-card poetry, but this emotional family drama is so satisfying, it could knock the stuffing out of 'Pieces of April.' " -- Moviephone.com

Update! - It appears that "Aurora" is also scheduled to screen at Cannes as well!  Thanks to Charise for letting us know that it is set to screen Thursday, May 12.

AFI and Audi A3's three-week, cross-country competition involving three rising directors, officially kicked off when contestants hit the road in Audi's newest vehicle -- the A3 -- in Los Angeles on May 4th. A wrap party will be held on May 25 in New York at the end of their three-week adventure. Filmmakers will have three weeks to edit their films and submit them to judges, including actors James Cromwell (The Longest Yard), Joshua Jackson (A Life in the Theatre) and Emily Mortimer (The Pink Panther). The films will be posted online so the public can vote, and a winner will be announced in August. The winner will receive $10,000 and a 2006 Audi A3 and all three filmmakers will get to keep the equipment they use during editing.

Posted:  May 5, 2005 - 8:10 p.m. PST - Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Since the play ended on April 30th, things have been a bit quiet as Josh heads back home from London.  A Life in the Theatre ended on a high note among viewers, based on several new reviews from fans about the final performance.  Congrats to Josh and Patrick on an excellent run in London's West End!  Our final performance reviews will be available to read later in the week.

If you're interested in getting caught up on previous Josh interviews and magazine specials, I've updated our image galleries with scans from our archived vaults.  I wanted to give a huge thank you to Faye for sending over 30+ scans of Josh from previous UK magazines.
