THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    They grew up together in the suberbs of LA, living their own version of the American dream, with every day a blur of partying and looking for the next thrill. Johnny (Emile Hirsch, Lords Of Dogtown) is the leader in their sordid world of drugs, greed, power and privelage. But when he is double-crossed by another dealer, things quickly begin to spiral out of control, and an impulsive kidnapping leads to a shocking conclusion. Justin Timberlake (Black Snake Moan), Sharon Stone (Bobby) and Bruce Willis (Lucky Number Slevin) co-star in this powerful and controversial film.

THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based on a true story.
• Real-life Santa Barbara County Deputy District Attorney Ronald J. Zonen agreed to give this film full access to the case files of the actual crime this movie is based on. Zonen also served as an unpaid consultant for this movie as well.
• Ben Foster went all out in preparing for his role in this movie. He spent time with active "crystal meth" users in order to mimic the behaviors. He also risked his sight by using Glaucoma drops in his eyes to give his eyes the appearance of being high. However it made his eyes so sensitive to light that in between takes he would sit in bushes with his eye closed to make it as dark as possible. He even took direction from Nick Cassavetes with his eyes closed.
• This was the final film to play at the 2006 Sundance Festival.
