The South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival, part of the SXSW Music Festival, will be premiering The Wendell Baker Story on its opening night. The movie premiere will take place on March 11th, at the Paramount Theater in downtown Austin.

The Wendell Baker Story is a movie directed by Luke and Owen Wilson. It stars Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Eva Mendes, and Eddie Griffin in a comedy-drama-romance.

The story on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) is that this was a script that Owen Wilson has had in draft form for 5-6 years, and has finally seen it through to the screen. Owen plays the part of an ex-con who becomes a nurse in a retirement home. The residents help Wilson win back a girl while he fights hotel corruption (?). I don't what the 'hotel corruption' thing means, but if there's room for hotel corruption in a retirement home, I might not want to know about it.

"As film fans and fellow Texans, we have nothing but admiration for the Wilson brothers," says Matt Dentler, Festival Producer for SXSW. "I can't think of a better idea than having their directorial debut launch this year's festival. You want to give audiences a great time, and this is a fantastic way to do it."
