The 2008 AFI FEST presented by Audi Presents
the Centerpiece Gala Screening of LAST CHANCE HARVEY

WHO: Joel Hopkins (DIR), Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson

WHAT: On a disastrous trip to London to attend his daughter's wedding, American jingle writer Harvey (Hoffman) meets Kate (Thompson), a no-nonsense British civil servant. At first, they seem an unlikely pair-she shields herself from disappointment with a life devoted to work and her aging mother, while he hides behind his personal and professional failures. But surprised by a flood of emotion neither ever expected to feel again, Harvey and Kate realize they've got a shot at something they'd long believed has passed them by. The cast includes Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Dame Eileen Atkins, James Brolin, Kathy Baker and Richard Schiff.
