WHEN LIFE’S TWILIGHT FALLS, SOMETIMES ONE HAS TO MAKE A STAND

THAT EVENING SUN

FROM IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT

Shining on DVD, Blu-ray™ and Digital Download September 7

Starring Emmy®-winner Hal Holbrook, Oscar®-winner Ray McKinnon and “Alice in Wonderland’s” Mia Wasikowska

Chatsworth, CA – A man – a strong, resolute man – will not let his life disappear into the twilight.  He will not let it vanish over the horizon.  Instead, he will fight:  to keep the things he loves about him, to confront the petty emotional robberies inflicted on the elderly.  On September 7, Image Entertainment tells the story of such a man:  That Evening Sun.  A multiple winner on the festival circuit and a critical favorite during its feature run, That Evening Sun is a tale of determination and hope, played against the humid background of Southern gothic emotions. That Evening Sun will be available at an SRP of $27.97 for the DVD and $29.97 for the Blu-ray; the film will also be available via digital download.  Pre-book is August 10^th.

Hal Holbrook (10 time Emmy®-award winner, Oscar®-nominee, Into The Wild) is Abner Meecham, an aging Tennessee farmer living in a nursing facility where he has been placed by his son, Paul (Walter Goggins, “The Shield”, “CSI Miami”), who has no sympathy for a father’s pride.  But Abner has other ideas, and escapes to fulfill his dream of returning to his cherished farm and living out his final days in peace.

But when he arrives, he finds that his son has betrayed him a second time.  Paul has sold the lease of the farm, and worse, the lease is in the hands of Abner’s old adversary, Lonzo Choat (Ray McKinnon, Academy Award®-winner, The Accountant).  With the battle lines drawn, neither man is willing to give way.  Threats are made, events spiral out of control…and a startling climax is inevitable. That Evening Sun also stars Alice in Wonderland star Mia Wasikowska, Walton Goggins (The Bourne Identity, Shanghai Noon) and Carrie Preston (Doubt, HBO’s True Blood).

That Evening Sun is based on a celebrated anthology of short stories from William Gay, “I Hate To See That Evening Sun Go Down,” a collection that has been compared to the works of William Faulkner.  Fraught with passion and courage played out against life’s departing light, That Evening Sun is a portrait of a man who is not only intent on reclaiming his land, but his own life as well.
