A Lions Gate Films Release

SHATTERED GLASS stars Hayden Christensen as
Stephen Glass, a staff writer for the respected current
events and policy magazine The New Republic and a
freelance feature writer for publications such as Rolling Stone,
Harper's and George. By the mid-90s, Glass' articles had
turned him into one of the most sought-after young
journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events -
chronicled in Buzz Bissinger's September, 1998 Vanity Fair
article upon which SHATTERED GLASS is based - suddenly
stopped his career in its tracks. SHATTERED GLASS is a
study of a very talented - and at the same time very
flawed - character. It is also a look inside our culture's
noblest profession, one that protects our most precious
freedoms by revealing the truth, and what happens when
our trust in that profession is called into question. Also
starring Peter Sarsgaard as Charles Lane, the cast also
includes Chloe Sevigny, Melanie Lynskey, Steve Zahn,
Rosario Dawson and Hank Azaria as Michael Kelly.
Written and directed by Billy Ray, SHATTERED GLASS is
jointly produced by Cruise / Wagner Productions and
Baumgarten Merims in association with Forest Park Pictures
