The Weinstein Company is hosting a special screening of “Lion” in New York City on Wednesday for Unicef’s U.S. Fund.
Stars Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman will be on hand for a discussion that will be moderated by former Newsweek editor Tina Brown and “Lost in Translation” director Sofia Coppola. “Lion” focuses on Saroo Brierley, a man who used Google Earth to reunite with his long-lost family in India. As a five-year-old boy, Brierley got lost on a train and had to survive on the streets of Calcutta before ultimately being adopted by an Australian family. “Lion” is the Weinstein Company’s big Oscar play this year, and the film is considered a leading contender for a best picture nomination. Patel and Kidman are widely expected to pick up supporting actor nods.
