Posted: July 8, 2006 Flicka The Movie to Be Released in October
Director: Michael Mayer Screenplay: Mark Rosenthal & Lawrence Konner, based upon the novel "My Friend Flicka" by Mary O'Hara Producer: Gil Netter Cast: Alison Lohman (Katy McLaughlin), Tim McGraw (Rob, Katy’s dad), Maria Bello (Nell, Katy’s mom), Ryan Kwanten (Howard, Katy’s brother) FLICKA is a contemporary motion picture adaptation of Mary O’Hara’s beloved novel My Friend Flicka. The filmmakers have re-engineered the story of a child coming into adulthood, changing the main character from a boy to a girl. In the new film, 16-year-old Katy McLaughlin (Alison Lohman) dreams of fulfilling her family legacy by working on her father’s ranch in modern-day Wyoming. Katy’s father Rob (Tim McGraw) wants more for her, insisting Katy go to college. He knows how difficult ranch life can be, having struggled to keep the ranch solvent in an ever-changing world. Conflicted by her need to tame her own wild ways yet stay true to the wild child within, Katy sets out to break through to Flicka and make her a riding horse. But Flicka and Katy are more alike than she could have imagined. Like Katy, Flicka has a disdain for authority and is not about to give up her freedom without a fight. Flicka stars country singer Tim McGraw (“Friday Night Lights”), Maria Bello (“A History of Violence”), Alison Lohman (“Big Fish”) and Ryan Kwanten (TV’s “Summerland”). The film is directed by Michael Mayer, whose debut feature, “A Home at the End of The World,” received critical acclaim. Twentieth Century Fox releases FLICKA nationwide on October 20, 2006.
