We just heard about this last night so I apologize for the late notice. Rosario Dawson was kind enough to donate two tickets to the premiere of ZOOKEEPER to benefit The Jorge Posada 8th Annual Heroes for Hope Auction. The Auction is only live until 3:30 PM EST at Charity Buzz. Go bid for your chance to attend the star studded premier of the film next year starring Rosario Dawson, Adam Sandler, Cher, Kevin James, Sylvester Stallone, Jude Apatow, Jon Favreau and many others.
Good luck!

Matt Damon’s long anticipated film called The People Speak, based on Howard Zinn’s bestselling book, A People’s History of the United States, and made in collaboration with the author, will be aired later this year. After nearly 10 years in the making and various misses with other companies like HBO, Damon is finally set to release with the History Channel.
The film features the dramatic reading of letters and documents written by various characters in America’s history, both known and unknown, but the readings are performed by familiar faces like Josh Brolin, Danny Glover, Viggo Mortensen, Morgan Freeman, Rosario Dawson and Marisa Tomei, among many others. The film also features a variety of musical performances including Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Jackson Browne and John Legend.
Damon has taken on the task of reading the Declaration of Independence. How does he plan to make it interesting? “You just read it,” the actor-writer-producer told a panel audience yesterday. “Seriously. It is an incredible document. I think people either forget about it or have been taught it too early in their lives. It’s a document worth reading and rereading every single year because it’s the principles in that document that we should be loyal to and fight for and struggle for, rather than whichever government is in power.”
The film will air on The History Channel later this year so in the meantime check out ThePeopleSpeak.com. It’s hard not be moved by Zinn’s vision of democracy in America brought to life.
