AFI FEST opens with "Doubt"

Amy Adams, Meryl Streep, director John Patrick Shanley, Miramax president Daniel Battsek and producer Mark Roybal at last night's AFI FEST 2008 opening night screening of "Doubt."
Describing the pic as still "wet behind the ears," Battsek thanked producer Scott Rudin. "He gave us two decent pictures last year," he shrugged, with more than an ounce of sarcasm. Helmer Shanley also thanked the "mad player king" Rudin, commenting that this will be the first time he's seen in the film in its final form.
