Based on the National Book Award winning novel by Charles Frazier, "Cold Mountain" follows the intertwined paths of three people equally uprooted by war whose physical and spiritual survival comes to depend entirely on one another. Cold Mountain's recent Golden Globe nominations were awarded to the film for Best Picture/Drama, Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture/Drama, Jude Law, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture/Drama, Nicole Kidman, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, Renee Zellweger, Best Director and Best Screenplay, Anthony Minghella, Best Original Score by composer Gabriel Yared, and Best Original Song for "You Will Be My Ain True Love," with words and music by Sting.
"'Cold Mountain' offers tremendous entertainment for adult audiences," said Miramax's Chief Operating Officer Rick Sands. "We know from early screenings of the film that the word of mouth is exceptional and many critics have embraced the movie. Our planned expansion of the film on January 16th, is an illustration of our belief in the long-term playability of 'Cold Mountain'."
