Tom Hanks, Paul Giamatti and author David McCullough are among special guests who'll attend a private premiere screening of the upcoming HBO Films mini-series "John Adams," on March 11 at the National Constitution Center. Giamatti, who filmed M.Night Shyamalan's "Lady in the Water" here, stars in the series, based on McCullough's Pulitzer prize-winning book, and "Philadelphia" star Hanks is an executive producer, along with Gary Goetzman, who will also be on hand. Homeboy David Morse also co-stars in the series, as George Washington, but is not currently slated to attend. Comcast is also a sponsor of the event, and chairman Brian Roberts will be there and a host of Pennsylvania lawmakers are also on the invite list. The first two parts of the seven-part series debut on HBO at 8 p.m. Sunday, March 16. Episodes continue airing each at 9 p.m. each Sunday through April 20.
In the mini-series "John Adams," Sideways star Paul Giamatti as John Adams leads George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin to Pennsylvania's wine country. Along the way they disturb the public peace, pick up women, and let off a lot of steam. They declare their independence loud and clear. Molly
Indeed they were no better than you or I. They were men who owned slaves, had affairs and were the original "ganstas" of America. But they did something extraordinary by brining governance to the people, and by establishing a nation that revolutionized the world. cxb452
First of all, John Adams never owned a slave. Second, there is no evidence that he had "affairs." Read your history. Chef Eric
