Twin Cities Film Fest gives look at 2013 lineup

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. (AP) - The Twin Cities Film Fest is giving an advance look at some of the movies in its 2013 lineup.

Alexander Payne's ``Nebraska'' and the film adaptation of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer- and Tony-winning play ``August: Osage County'' are among movies at this year's festival.

``Nebraska'' stars Bruce Dern as a cantankerous father who takes his son, played by Will Forte, on a road trip to claim a sweepstakes prize.

``August: Osage County'' features Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Ewan McGregor in Letts' dark comedy about a dysfunctional family brought back home.

Also on the festival schedule is ``One Chance,'' based on the true story of an amateur opera singer who becomes a YouTube sensation.

The festival runs Oct. 17-26 at the ShowPlace ICON Theatre in St. Louis Park.
