Million Dollar Baby has awards hopes
Warner Bros. has announced that director Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby will receive a December 15th release in L.A., Chicago, New York and Toronto so that it can be considered for awards consideration this year. Originally planned as a 2005 release, the studio tested the movie as a potential awards contender and results were positive. The film stars Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman as old boxers who run a gym in L.A. They're approached by a woman (Hilary Swank) who has dreams of becoming a boxer herself. The tale follows the platonic relationship that develops between Eastwood's character and his protégé.
