'Fireflies In The Garden': Julia Roberts As Ryan Reynolds' Mom In Finally Released Film (VIDEO)

Both on screen and off, the shifting of time is essential in the telling the tale of "Fireflies In The Garden." The film, written and directed by Dennis Lee, saw its premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008. While it later hit theaters in most parts of the world, financial difficulties shelved its US distribution for nearly three years, until it was announced last week that it will finally hit theaters in select cities on October 14th.And so, American theatergoers will at last get to see the story in which Julia Roberts, in mostly flashback footage, plays mother to a boy that will become Ryan Reynolds, who appears in the film's present-day shots.

Senh: Can't believe a movie with Julia Roberts and Ryan Reynolds would take this long to get distribution.
