NEW YORK - "Raising Helen," starring Kate Hudson and John Corbett, will premiere on opening night of the Tribeca Film Festival.
The movie features Hudson as a modeling agency assistant who must raise her sister's three children after her sister and brother-in-law die in a car accident. Corbett plays a pastor who helps her and ends up falling in love with her.
The film's director, Garry Marshall ("Pretty Woman,""The Princess Diaries"), is expected to attend the May 1 premiere, along with several cast members. "Raising Helen" opens in theaters May 28.
"This is a terrific film to open the third annual Tribeca Film Festival," festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal said Monday. "It is a movie that is uplifting and funny, involves New York and was partially filmed in New York. It will be a great start to a great third year."
Rosenthal and her business partner, Robert De Niro, created the Tribeca Film Festival to help lower Manhattan recover from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. This year's festival is scheduled to run from May 1-9.
