Columbia Pictures Presents the World Premiere of Vantage Point

NEW YORK, February 16/PRNewswire/ --

           WHAT:  PREMIERE OF COLUMBIA PICTURES "VANTAGE POINT"             In Columbia Pictures' action-packed thriller Vantage Point,              eight strangers with eight different points of view try to              unlock the one truth behind an assassination attempt on the                            president of the United States.  Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid)                          and Kent Taylor (Mathew Fox) are two Secret Service agents              assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a              landmark summit on the global war on terror.  When President              Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues              and disparate lives collide in the hunt for the assassin.  In              the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker), an American              tourist who thinks he's captured the shooter on his camcorder              while videotaping the event for his kids back home.  Also              there, relaying the historic event to millions of TV viewers              across the globe, is American TV news producer Rex Brooks              (Sigourney Weaver).  As they and others reveal their stories,              the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place.
