THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED, based on Mark Frost’s best-selling book, is the remarkable yet untold story of Francis Ouimet. Francis was a working-class immigrant kid who -- flanked by a 10 year-old caddie smaller than his golf bag -- started with nothing and came out of nowhere to break down the barriers and become America’s first golf hero nearly a century before Tiger Woods. In a world where it was believed only the wealthy and privileged could play, and win, at golf, it took an outsider to change the rules forever and prove that anyone with enough courage, grit and faith could achieve greatness. <P>It all came to a head at the 1913 U.S. Open. Suddenly, Francis found himself in an ultimate showdown of skill and spirit – he, the unknown upstart American, facing off against Harry Vardon, a U.S. Open winner and six time British Open champion (a record that still stands today) who was the sport’s undisputed champion. One was a towering idol, the other an impossible underdog – and their legendary battle would transcend sport to become an illustration of human determination at its best. <p>Bill Paxton directs this inspirational tale drawn from one of the most unexpected victories in history, bringing his own innovative visual perspective to the game of golf, reframing the 18-hole match-up as a riveting Western showdown between two scrappy gunslingers. <p>THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED stars Shia LaBeouf (“Holes,” “Constantine”) as Francis Ouimet, the Massachusetts kid who, just three years after starting as a lowly caddie, found himself in all-out fight for the U.S Open title. Stephen Dillane (“The Hours”) stars as Harry Vardon – the genteel British champ who never expected to be challenged by a young American. The screenplay is by Mark Frost who wrote the acclaimed book of the same title, bringing to life the colorful characters of golf’s early history. The producers are Larry Brezner, Mark Frost and David Blocker. The executive producer is David A. Steinberg. <p>Says Bill Paxton: “This is a story that plays out against the excitement of the golf world but is about so much more. It’s about having true character, following your dreams and believing in yourself. Most of all, it’s about how the only way you really grow in life is by being tested.” </div> </div> <div class="shadowbottom"><div class="shadowbottomleft"></div><div class="shadowbottomright"></div></div> </div> <div id="rightsidebar"> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">  </script> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://ypn-js.overture.com/partner/js/ypn.js"> </script> <br><br> <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://wespreadtheword.net/advertising/adx.js'></script> <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>  </script><noscript><a href='http://wespreadtheword.net/advertising/adclick.php?n=a943cdbe' target='_blank'><img src='http://wespreadtheword.net/advertising/adview.php?what=zone:7&n=a943cdbe' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript><br> <br> <FONT face=verdana size=-2> <A href="http://applesofgold.com" alt="14K Gold Jewelry, gold chains, bracelets, gold crosses, Christian Jewelry.">Apples of Gold Jewelry</A><br> <A href="http://christian-jewelry-gift.com" alt="14K Gold Christian Jewelry, gold crosses, religious jewelry, rings, and pendants">Christian-Jewelry-Gift.Com</A><br> <A href="http://Wedding-Band-Ring.Com" alt="Wedding bands, wedding rings, Celtic rings, gold and platinum wedding bands.">Wedding-Band-Ring.Com</A><br> <A href="http://www.mychildoncd.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=100" alt="personalized kids cds, kids cds, personalized cds">MyChildonCD.Com</A> </FONT> </div> </div> </div> <hr class="hide" /> <div id="footer" class="clear"> <a href="http://topsites.wespreadtheword.net/"><img src="http://topsites.wespreadtheword.net/button.php?u=ldstryfe" alt="WeSpreadTheWord.net Top Christian Sites" border="0" /></a>  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://edge.quantserve.com/quant.js"></script> <p>© 2008 WeSpreadTheWord.net</p> <p>© 2008 WeSpreadTheWord.net</p> <script type="text/javascript">_qacct="p-961kdLri_0zDc";quantserve();</script> <noscript> </noscript>  <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-322232-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </div> </div> </body> </html>
