Cocoon is a 1985 American science-fiction fantasy comedy-drama film directed by Ron Howard about a group of elderly people rejuvenated by aliens. The movie stars Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley, Hume Cronyn, Brian Dennehy, Jack Gilford, Steve Guttenberg, Maureen Stapleton, Jessica Tandy, Gwen Verdon, Herta Ware, Tahnee Welch, and Linda Harrison. The film is loosely based on the novel of the same name by David Saperstein. The film was shot in and around St. Petersburg, Florida: locations included the St Petersburg Shuffleboard Club, Sunny Shores Rest Home, The Coliseum, and Snell Arcade buildings. The film earned two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor (Don Ameche) and for Best Visual Effects. A sequel, Cocoon: The Return, was released in 1988, in which almost all of the original cast reprised their roles. Robert Zemeckis was originally hired as director, but after spending a year working on it in development, he was fired before production began as 20th Century Fox (the studio financing Cocoon) felt he was box office poison due to his films I Wanna Hold Your Hand & Used Cars both being critically acclaimed, but commercial failures, and the studio felt his then-current film with Fox, Romancing The Stone would also be a flop after the studio previewed it, so Ron Howard was then hired as director. Romancing The Stone turned out to be a huge commercial success and gave him the clout to do Back To The Future which he had already scripted and had been previously turned down by every major studio. A movie press kit is a pre-packaged set of promotional information and 8 x 10 glossy photographs from the movie that provide information about a movie and which is distributed to members of the media for promotional use. Press kits are often distributed to announce a release of a motion picture to the press.
