Emperor

Peter Webber, Director of 'Hannibal Rising' (2007) and 'Girl With The Pearl Earring' (2003) delivers 'Emperor' opening tomorrow in theatres. It's a gripping tale of love and honor -- inspired by true events -- forged between fierce enemies of war. The film tells the story of the bold and secret moves that won the peace in the shadows of post-war Japan.

Starring Academy Award-winner Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Fox, and newcomer Eriko Hatsune, EMPEROR brings to life the American occupation of Japan in the perilous and unpredictable days just after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender.

As General Douglas MacArthur (Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture - General Bonner Fellers (Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved?

The film is rated PG-13 for violent content, brief strong language and smoking.
