Release of Proof Film Delayed
By Andrew Gans
28 Oct 2004
The release of Miramax's film of Proof — starring Gwyneth Paltrow — has been postponed.
Originally scheduled for a December 2004 release, "Proof" will no longer arrive on screens this year. A Miramax spokesperson told Playbill On-Line that the film will likely be released "later in 2005," although no official date has been set.
The movie of David Auburn's Proof features a screenplay by Auburn and Rebecca Miller. Academy Award winner Paltrow heads the cast as Catherine, a woman who may or may not be as mathematically gifted as her troubled genius of a father. The other central characters are played on screen by Jake Gyllenhaal (Hal), Anthony Hopkins (Robert) and Hope Davis (Claire).
John Madden directed the film. Madden also directed Paltrow in the London engagement of the play at the Donmar Warehouse.
Proof opened at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre on Oct. 24, 2000, playing 916 performances before closing Jan. 5, 2003. The original cast included Mary-Louise Parker, who won a Tony Award for her performance; Larry Bryggman; Johanna Day; and Ben Shenkman. Under the direction of Daniel Sullivan, the production also won the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play as well as the Pulitzer Prize in Drama.
