The Whale, narrated by Ryan Reynolds, opens across Canada
THE WHALE, a Canadian documentary about Luna the orca, is opening on Nov. 18, 2011 at five movie theatres across Canada. The film was directed by producer Suzanne Chisholm and journalist Michael Parfit of Mountainside Films in Sidney, BC. The couple chronicled Luna the orca's adventures in both print and on film for several years. The G-rated film began its US run in September 2011 in the Seattle-Tacoma area and recently played at The Clyde Theatre in Langley on Whidbey Island, WA.
The film is narrated by actor Ryan Reynolds, who hails from Vancouver, BC. He's the film's executive producer, along with Scarlett Johansson and Eric Desatnik. Following the screenings in Canada on opening weekend, there will be Q&A sessions. Here's the first Canadian review of the film, which will be showing at these five theatres (click here for a chance to win free tickets):
