[edit] Touchstone Pictures info missing

Touchstone Pictures is releasing this film, as can be seen in the trailer[1] and has been reported by The Hollywood Reporter[2] (story is subscription-only, but Touchstone and the film are both mentioned in the available excerpt). I'd add it myself, but I have a conflict-of-interest per WP:COI because Touchstone parent Disney is a client of my employer. NMS Bill (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More information to be added

A few more things that need updating:

1. The MPAA rating is PG-13
2. Robin Jonas should be removed from the list of producers.
3. The official site is http://www.swingvote-themovie.com.
4. The synopsis could be expanded; here's the official one, which can be adapted as necessary:

Swing Vote follows the story of Bud Johnson (Kevin Costner), an apathetic, beer-slinging, lovable loser, who is coasting through a life that has passed him by. The one bright spot is his precocious, over-achieving twelve year-old daughter Molly. She takes care of both of them, until one mischievous moment on Election Day, when she accidentally sets off a chain of events which culminates in the election coming down to one vote... her dad's.

Swing Vote is a comical look at the journey of one father and daughter who discover that everyone has the power to change the world.

All of this info is available on the official site linked above. I cannot do this per WP:COI, as explained on my talk page. NMS Bill (talk) 14:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

There's absolutely nothing in COI that prevents you from editing the article, so long as you are performing neutral, uncontroversial edits. I appreciate your candor in disclosing possible bias, but if your edits involve facts which are unlikely to be contested and are reliably sourced, then - IMHO - by all means go for it.
