Charlize Theron and Jason Reitman to Speak at May 2 TimesTalks

TimesTalks, The New York Times live conversation and performance series, is proud to host a conversation and screening with Academy Award-winning actor Charlize Theron and Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman on May 2, moderated by veteran New York Times contributor Logan Hill.

The Hollywood heavyweights will host a screening, followed by a discussion of their new feature film, Tully, a funny and poignant domestic drama about the relationship between a new mother and her nanny, co-written by Reitman and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. The conversation will cover a range of topics, from the craft of acting to the idiosyncratic "accidental families" that we all choose for ourselves.

This event will take place on May 2, and be live streamed on Facebook starting at 7:00PM EST. Select media passes are available. If interested, please contact Ali Rigo (ali@culturalcounsel.com) to discuss coverage opportunities.
