Adam on the Town
April 27th, 2008 by amyro
Adam and his proud mom Gillian took in the premiere of his latest cinematic offering last night, an event which brought out Tribeca Film Festival founder Robert DeNiro, Ben Kingsley, Edie Falco and, of course, the Tennessee family. Watermarked images from the red carpet and after-party can be found at Getty Images (here and here) and WireImage. The Mariah Carey super-fansite Mariah Daily Journal, has a batch of Mariah-centric non-watermarked images, a few of which sport our favorite leading man (here, here and here).
In other news, Tennessee’s website has been spruced up and revamped and Adam can be spotted briefly in this clip from Access Hollywood.
On the business side, a stroll by Elephant Eye Films has revealed that Tennessee’s gonna be taking its act to the Cannes Film Festival for a market premiere on May 16th. The official website has Elephant Eye listed as the international sales agent for the film, with Submarine holding down domestic sales duties.
Thanks to commenter Jeane for the heads up.

You’re welcome.
There MC fan reviews (winners of Mariah Daily Journal Tennessee Premiere Contest) posted at Mariah Daily Journal site, plus a picture of the Tennessee cast and crew during Q&A as well as a video.

Also, New York Post had a video from the Tennessee Red Carpet Premiere @ TFF. Here’s the link:
http://www.nypost.com/video/?channel=PostEntertainmentFeed&clipid=1458_278532&bitrate=300&format=flash
The video featured Mariah, Lee Daniels, and Tennessee cast/crew: Ethan Peck, Ryan Lynn, Lance Riddick, and Tennessee screenwriter Russell S., director Aaron Woodley, and Lee Daniels all interviewed (except for Mariah who wasn’t interviewed in this video). No Adam footage or interview, unfortunately. Though co-star Ryan Lynn only mentioned Adam’s name because he played young Carter (Adam’s younger character) at 18.

Here’s a few more Tennessee/Adam mentions from Tribeca Film Festival:
From Radar Online (http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2008/04/carey-kinda-glitters-in-tennessee.php):
Here are some shocking scenes of child abuse and domestic violence in the movie. Were you shocked when you saw the final cut for the first time?
Adam Rothenberg, star: I saw a rough cut a while back, so I wasn’t really surprised by it, but the audience’s reaction was very satisfying. We actually shot more violence than made it into the movie. I think the audience gets the violence point very quickly, so it wasn’t all necessary.
From Buzz Sugar (http://buzzsugar.com/1584003):
Speaking of Tennessee, I got to chat briefly with one of the lead actors, Ethan Peck, who is completely adorable. His favorite part of making Tennessee: developing a true brotherly relationship with his costar Adam Rothenberg.
And a Mariah Carey Interview talking about her character Krystal, but you’ll see a couple new clips from the movie towards the end of her interview including an extended clip of the brothers getting a ride from Krystal. Adam’s character said a bit more than “Tennessee…” from the previous clip we’ve seen. Check out the link below!

Mariah Daily Journal (http://www.mariahdaily.com/news.shtml) is doing another contest for fans to win tickets for another screening of Tennessee tomorrow!
I wish I could participate, but the contest is (again) short notice, lol. Good luck to those participating.

The picture links with Adam on it from MDJ site doesn’t work anymore as I think it’s been moved to the site’s photo gallery…just thought I’d let you know.
Here’s a nice HQ photo of Adam with the main cast/crew of Tennessee without tags:

Here’s a very nice review from Cinematical.com:
http://www.cinematical.com/2008/04/30/tribeca-review-tennessee/
Here’s the part where Adam was mentioned in the review:
The performances are what’s most notable about the movie. Rothenberg plays the booze-addled Carter with the right combination of self-pity, rage, and restraint. His Tennessee accent goes in and out, but otherwise, his performance is fine.
