    WHAT:     To celebrate the Premiere of WALT DISNEY PICTURES' HOLES in
              association with Walden Media.

              Based on the award-winning book by Louis Sachar, "Holes" is a
              fun and poignant adventure that tells the story of
              Stanley Yelnats (SHIA LaBEOUF), an unusual young hero.  Dogged
              by bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse, Stanley has
              little clue that he's in for the adventure of his life when
              sent to Camp Green Lake, where he and his campmates -- Squid,
              Armpit, ZigZag, Magnet, X-Ray, and Zero -- are mysteriously
              forced by the camp's director (SIGOURNEY WEAVER) and her right-
              hand men Mr. Sir (JON VOIGHT) and Mr. Pendanski (TIM BLAKE
              NELSON) to dig holes in order "to build character."  Nobody
              knows the real reason they're digging all these holes, but
              Stanley soon begins to question why the head of the camp is so
              interested in anything "special" the boys find.  Through it
              all, Stanley and his campmates must stick together as they
              attempt to solve the mystery and break the Yelnats family
              curse.
