The Odd Life of Timothy Green is an upcoming American fantasy drama directed by Peter Hedges and scheduled to be released by Walt Disney Pictures on August 15, 2012. In the film, Cindy Green (Jennifer Garner) and Jim Green (Joel Edgerton) are unable to conceive, so they bury all their wishes for a baby in a box in their backyard. The following day they wake up to find a child, Timothy (CJ Adams), on their doorstep, but the child is not all that he appears to be.
Contents |
Cindy Green and Jim Green, a childless couple, become frustrated with their inability to conceive, so one night they dream up their ideal offspring and write the child's characteristics and life events on pieces of paper, including "scoring the winning goal." The couple places the notes in a box and buries them in their backyard. After a stormy night in Stanleyville, a 10-year-old arrives at their doorstep, claiming the Greens as his own. Soon they realize that the child, named Timothy, is far more special than they originally thought.[1][2]
In June 2009, Peter Hedges was signed to write and direct The Odd Life of Timothy Green, a film that stemmed from an idea brought about by Ahmet Zappa.[4] The film is one of the first films produced by Scott Sanders Productions after a deal with Disney was made in 2007.[5]
