RANDOM HEARTS OPENING OCTOBER 8th with Closed Captions and Descriptive
Narration

Sony Pictures Entertainment, General Cinema Theatres, and WGBH, are pleased
to present the film RANDOM HEARTS with Closed Captions and Descriptive
Narration featuring the Rear Window® Captioning (RWC) and DVS Theatrical®
(DVS) systems at the General Cinema locations listed below. 

RANDOM HEARTS  is a compelling love story involving two very different
people who more than likely never would have met but for an act of fate that
brings them together. Dutch Van Den Broeck, played by Harrison Ford, is a
tough-minded internal affairs cop involved in a high-stakes corruption case.
Kay Chandler, a high profile congresswoman played by Kristin Scott Thomas,
(Academy Award® nominee for the English Patient) is embattled in a bitter
re-election campaign. Together they develop an extraordinary relationship,
which forces them to confront the truth that threatens to destroy them and
discover the strength to triumph over the deception that surrounds them. For
more information about this film visit: http://www.sony.com The film is
rated R.

How it Works
The patented Rear Window Captioning System displays reversed captions on a
light-emitting diode (LED) text display, which is mounted in the rear of a
theater. Deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons use transparent acrylic panels
attached to their seats to reflect the captions so that they appear
superimposed on the movie screen. The reflective panels are portable and
adjustable, enabling the caption user to sit anywhere in the theater. The
Rear Window System was codeveloped by WGBH and Rufus Butler Seder of Boston,
MA.  Random Hearts was closed captioned by The Caption Center at WGBH.

DVS Theatrical delivers descriptive narration via infrared or FM listening
systems, enabling moviegoers who are blind and visually impaired to hear the
descriptive narration on headsets without disturbing other audience members.
The descriptions provide narrated information about key visual elements such
as actions, settings, and scene changes, making movies more accessible to
people with are visually impaired. Random Hearts was described by
Descriptive Video Service at WGBH. For more information on described
programming, visit the DVS Web site at, www.wgbh.org/dvs

There is no additional fee to use either of these two systems. Simply ask
the ticket agent for either a reflector or headset when purchasing your
tickets.  Please note, because there are a limited number of both reflectors
and headsets available patrons are encouraged to arrive about 30 minutes
prior to the start of the film. 
PLEASE BE ADVISED, The Rear Window and DVS systems are available at all
showings of RANDOM HEARTS that are being held in the equipped theater.
Since this film may be shown in more than one theater at any given location,
make sure to check that the showtime you are interested in attending is
being held in the RWC and DVS equipped theater. Showtimes can vary from week
to week so we suggest patrons call the theater for showtimes, or visit the
