This is a great
film for a sequel. There are many loose ends and many
unanswered questions. The movie centers around a mother who lost a
son, or at least she was led to believe her son was killed in a
plane crash. BestSyndicaton.com

Full Synopsis
A grieving woman must make a journey into her past in this psychological
thriller. Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore) is a mother who is struggling
to put her life back together after the unexpected death of her
eight-year-old son. Telly begins seeing a therapist (Gary Sinise) who
offers a startling diagnosis -- that her son never really existed, and
all her memories of the child are products of her imagination. When
Telly meets a man with a strangely similar story to tell about his lost
child (Dominic West), she becomes convinced that her doctor is wrong,
and sets out to prove the existence of her child -- and that she isn't
insane. The Forgotten also feature Alfre Woodard and Anthony Edwards. ~

Name :Julianne
Moore Birth Date December 3,
1961 in Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA
Birth Name : Julie Anne Smith
Height : 5' 5
Education : Boston University
in Boston, Massachusetts (majored in Drama; graduated; BFA)
School of Fine Arts (graduated; BFA)
Nationality : American
Occupation : Actress
Claim to fame : Played dual
role of Frannie and her look-alike half-sister Sabrina on as the
World Turns (1985-1988
Julianne was born December 3, 1960,
at Fort Brag in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She is the daughter of
a military judge, her father, and psychiatric social worker mother.
Julianne recalls, "In grade school, I was a complete geek. You know,
there's always the kid who's too short, the kid who wears glasses,
the kid who's not athletic. Well, I was all three." As an Army brat,
Julianne moved constantly as a child, with twenty three homes before
she settled in Boston. Julianne graduated from Boston University
where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. After graduation,
Julianne headed off to New York, where she appeared in a number of
late-'80's off Broadway plays. She then branched out into television
with a short term part on the soap opera "The Edge of Night" which
lead to a 3 year stint on "As The World Turns", for which she earned
a daytime Emmy. Julianne made her first leap to the big screen with
1990's "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie".
Moore's first minor coup on the small screen came
in the form of a supporting role as Valerie Bertinelli's friend in
the 1987 prime-time mini-series Judith Krantz's I'll Take Manhattan.
A subsequent string of forgotten TV movies — Money, Power, Murder,
The Last To Go, Cast a Deadly Spell, Lovecraft — certainly benefited
from her striking presence, but they did little in return to boost
her career. Moore's feature debut as the victim of a mummy in the
deplorable Tales From the Darkside: The Movie (1990) also failed to
raise her prominence in Hollywood, but she fared significantly
better as the salon-coifed, outspoken real estate agent friend of
Anabella Sciorra who meets a grisly greenhouse demise in the 1992
thriller The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Things were looking up
significantly the following year: she played a fleeting, but
pivotal, role in the Harrison Ford-Tommy Lee Jones blockbuster The
Fugitive; she shouldered the thankless burden of playing Willem
Dafoe's wife in the execrable Body of Evidence; and she stole the
show as the waitress girlfriend of Aidan Quinn in the endearing
fable Benny & Joon. In Robert Altman's Short Cuts, Moore startled
audiences with one of 1993's most talked-about scenes: in the role
of Matthew Modine's artist-wife, she delivers a feisty monologue
while standing before him — and us — in the nude from the waist
down. She capped off the banner year by appearing opposite Al Pacino
in a workshop production of Strindberg's The Father.

Dominic
West
Dominic West (Ash Correll in "The Forgotten")
has been seen on the big screen most recently in the feature "Mona
Lisa Smile" opposite Julia Roberts and directed by Mike Newell. He
played Fred Casely, the murdered lover of Roxie Hart in the
Oscar®-winning film "Chicago." The native of Sheffield, England also
stars in the widely praised HBO original series “The Wire” as
homicide detective Jimmy McNulty. His feature film credits include
"28 Days" opposite Sandra Bullock and directed by Betty Thomas,
"Rock Star" opposite Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston and directed
by Stephen Herek, "Surviving Picasso" with Sir Anthony Hopkins and
directed by James Ivory, "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" with Kevin
Kline and Michelle Pfeiffer, directed by Michael Hoffman and "Diana
and Me" with Toni Collette, directed by David Parker. West made his
motion picture debut in 1992 in "Richard III" opposite Ian McKellan
and directed by Richard Loncraine.
West’s passion for the theatre
inspired him to return to the stage in 2001 to star in the hit
Broadway revival of Nöel Coward’s “Design for Living” opposite Alan
Cumming.
His role as Sandra Bullock's
egotistical, self-absorbed fiancé offering audiences a hilarious
glimpse of the handsome actor's notable comic talents, actor Dominic
West has since gone on to display his versatility in such notably
diverse projects as the acclaimed HBO series The Wire and director
Rob Marshall's hit musical Chicago. Born into a family of seven
children in Sheffield, England, West's father was the owner of a
plastics manufacturing plant and his mother a homemaker with a taste
for the theater. At first employed in such unglamorous positions as
that of a cattle herder in Argentina, it wasn't long before West
enrolled in Dublin's Trinity College and graduated with a B.A. in
English Literature. His love of acting propelled him next to the
Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and West graduated from the
prestigious school in 1995. Though he had previous acting experience
in a few minor film roles, it was the late '90s that found West's
career truly beginning to bloom. A small role in Spice World was
followed by a notable performance in the British miniseries Out of
Hours (1998), and after minor roles in A Midsummer Night's Dream and
Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace (both 1999), he got his
big feature break with 28 Days Later. As the millennium turned, so
did West's career; in 2001, he took to the screen with Mark Wahlberg
in the musical drama Rock Star. Cast in the lead of HBO's The Wire
shortly thereafter, the show debuted in 2002 to favorable critical
reviews. Following a pair of memorable performances in Chicago and
Mona Lisa Smile, West appeared in director Joseph Ruben's action
thriller The Forgotten in 2004. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Ruben Director
Born: May 10, 1950 in
Briarcliff Manor, NY. Filmmaker
Joseph Ruben has gained a reputation for his offbeat,
psychological, and dark examinations of modern American family
life. His 1987 film The Stepfather, which looks at an outwardly
normal dad whose bland face masks the ruthless heart of a serial
killer, has become a cult favorite and is a good example of his
work. Before becoming a filmmaker, Ruben studied theater and
film at the University of Michigan and earned a master's degree
at Brandeis University. He made his film debut in 1974 with The
Sister-in-Law. Ruben had his first mainstream success with the
