First Photo of Ellen Page And Julianne Moore in FREEHELD

Here’s a first look at Oscar winner Julianne Moore and Ellen Page in Summit Entertainment’s FREEHELD.

Based on the Oscar-winning short documentary and adapted by the writer of Philadelphia, FREEHELD is the true love story of Laurel Hester (Moore) and Stacie Andree (Page) and their fight for justice.

A decorated New Jersey police detective, Laurel is diagnosed with cancer and wants to leave her hard earned pension to her domestic partner, Stacie. However the county officials, Freeholders, conspire to prevent Laurel from doing this.

Hard-nosed detective Dane Wells (Michael Shannon), and activist Steven Goldstein (Steve Carell), unite in Laurel and Stacie’s defense, rallying police officers and ordinary citizens to support their struggle for equality.

Ellen Page is one of the producers on the film.

Directed by Peter Sollett (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist), FREEHELD opens on October 2nd, 2015 (limited) & October 16th, 2015 (wide).
