NEW YORK, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ --
WHO: From the film - Mark Wahlberg, Elizabeth Banks, Vince Papale,
director Ericson Core and producers Gordon Gray and Mark Ciardi,
the producing team that brought you THE ROOKIE and MIRACLE
WHAT: Walt Disney Pictures' World Premiere of INVINCIBLE.
From the studio that brought you "The Rookie" and "Remember The Titans"
comes INVINCIBLE, inspired by the true story of Vince Papale (MARK
WAHLBERG), a man with nothing to lose who ignored the staggering odds and
made his dream come true. When the coach (GREG KINNEAR) of Papale's beloved
hometown football team hosted an unprecedented open tryout, the public
consensus was that it was a waste of time -- no one good enough to play
professional football was going to be found this way. Certainly no one like
Papale -- a down-on-his-luck, 30 year-old, substitute teacher and part-time
bartender who never even played college football. But against these odds,
Papale made the team and soon found himself living every fan's fantasy --
moving from his cheap seats in the upper deck to standing on the field as a
professional football player.
