See action star Gerard Butler (300, Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen) stars in his latest passion project \u201cA Family Man\u201d, which tackles the under-explored world of corporate headhunting with characters confronting relatable and universal challenges: \u201cthe balance between work and family, husband and wife dynamics, the father and son relationship, losing a job and finding a job.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Opening exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas\u2019 Trinoma and Greenbelt 1 screens starting August 23, \u201cA Family Man\u201d is a family drama that deals with real-life dilemmas. It\u2019s a simple, elegant, and classic throwback movie about a deeply touching father and son relationship.<\/p>\n

\"\"GERARD BUTLER AND MAX JENKINS<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Dane\u2019s (Butler) journey is predominantly framed through his relationship with Ryan, which is constantly transforming over the course of the film. Producer Craig Flores described the wide search that went into Ryan\u2019s casting: \u201cWe reviewed hundreds of self-tapes and auditions from all around the world to find the right kid. Very tough decisions were made, but we ultimately discovered that Max Jenkins was born to play the role.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Their relationship, the emotional center of the film, came to be founded on the genuine connection formed between Gerard and Max. \u201cA father\/son relationship can be very complicated and, in our movie, it is. Dane thinks that the best way to take care of and nourish his family is to make a lot of money. This steers him away from the family unit and isolates him from his wife and kids. He doesn’t try to connect on an emotional level with Ryan and leaves the boy alone much of the time to find and learn about life for himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key to the films\u2019 emotional highs is Mark Isham\u2019s music used in the movie that heightens the emotional journey of Gerard Butler\u2019s character, Dane Jensen. The electronic and ambient half of his score, inspired by the groundbreaking music of Brian Eno, complements the modernity and commerciality of Dane\u2019s work-life and its complicated but invigorating morality.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Family Man\u201d is an Ayala Malls Cinemas exclusive that will open in Trinoma and Greenbelt 1 screens on August 23.<\/p>\n
