发帖数: 22800 | 1 Without Limits is a 1998 biographical film about the relationship between
record-breaking distance runner Steve Prefontaine and his coach Bill
Bowerman, who later co-founded Nike, Inc.
Billy Crudup plays Prefontaine and Donald Sutherland plays Bowerman. The
film is written and directed by Robert Towne. It also stars Monica Potter,
Jeremy Sisto, Judith Ivey, Matthew Lillard and William Mapother.
Without Limits was produced by Tom Cruise (Cruise and Mapother are cousins)
and Paula Wagner, and released and distributed by Warner Bros. Cruise
originally wanted to play the role of Prefontaine, but it was decided he was
too old. Tommy Lee Jones reportedly turned down the part of Bowerman.
Due to a very low-key promotional campaign, the $25 million film grossed
only $777,000 at the box office, although it received good reviews from many
major critics.
Sutherland received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor. | w********6
发帖数: 12977 | 2 pretty sad movie at least for its tragic ending, I watched it many years ago
. Don't know if this is the real story behind the Nike company.
But now everybody know the famous Pre classic series in his name. |
