This weekend has got a set of competition coming
its way in terms of films to be released. With films such as A
History of Violence, Into
the Blue, Serenity,
and Oliver Twist getting their fair share of attention, we may
have overlooked Bill Paxton's The
Greatest Game Ever Played. The box office for this weekend
will no doubt be interesting, and Disney is taking a last ditch effort to
help remind moviegoers that they have a film out also.
Greatest Game Ever Played Clip
An amateur player from a working class family,
Francis Ouimet - played by Shia LeBeouf (Holes) - shocked the golf
world when at the 1913 U.S. Open, flanked by his 10-year-old caddie, he
defeated his idol, the defending British champion Harry Vardon - played
by Stephen Dillane. An unlikely match-up - "the ingénue versus the
seasoned champ" - theirs was the greatest match the sport had ever known.
Caught between a world of hardship and a beckoning life of privilege, Francis
needed to prove his unfailing will and ability to make it to the tournament.
Disney has recently released a couple of new movie clips for The Greatest
Game Ever Played featuring Shia LeBeouf as he picks up an unlikely,
and small, caddy.
