BURBANK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
First the Mets-now the `Force. David Wright teams up with Walt Disney Pictures`
and Jerry Bruckheimer Films` "G-FORCE" to help spread the word about the
unprecedented All-Star Game, Grand-Slam million-ticket sweepstakes. From Walt
Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films comes "G-FORCE," a 3D high-octane
comedy adventure about a covert government program in which guinea pigs are
trained to work in espionage. The film, opening nationwide July 24, teams up
with MLB for the G-Force Grand Slam Sweepstakes. If a grand slam is hit during
the All-Star Game on July 14, the first million people who have entered on
Disney.com/grandslam will win a free ticket to see "G-FORCE" on its opening day.

David Wright, third baseman for the New York Mets, was not only selected to be
the spokesperson for the G-Force Grand Slam Sweepstakes, he`s been tapped to
play third base for the 2009 National League All-Star team. As such, Wright just
might be the player who hits the Grand Slam that sends a million fans to see
"G-FORCE" on its opening day.

"I`m planning on being the All-Star who sends one million fans to see G-FORCE
with just one swing of the bat," Wright said. "I was thrilled when Disney and
Major League Baseball asked me to be a part of this campaign because I love
working with children and helping them through my foundation."

"David Wright is an All-Star in every sense of the word," said Tim Brosnan,
Major League Baseball executive vice president, business. "Wright's presence
will help expand on a fun and unique program between the most significant
sporting event of the summer and the most anticipated family movie of the
summer."

The program marks the most comprehensive promotional sponsorship of Major League
Baseball by a major motion picture ever and the first movie promoting its debut
during the Major League Baseball All-Star Game since Disney`s "Angels in the
Outfield" in 1994.

The first million people who enter online at Disney.com/grandslam by midnight on
July 14 will receive a code redeemable for one free ticket to the movie on its
opening day (July 24) at participating theaters if a grand slam is hit during
the All-Star Game, which will air live on FOX at 8 p.m. ET on July 14.
Additionally, the more than 46,000 attendees of the All-Star Game, which takes
place in St. Louis` Busch Stadium, will each receive a promotional card with a
ticket code redeemable for a free ticket on opening day if a grand slam is hit.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer brings his first 3-D film to the big screen with
G-FORCE, a comedy adventure about the latest evolution of a covert government
program to train animals to work in espionage. Armed with the latest high-tech
spy equipment, these highly trained guinea pigs discover that the fate of the
world is in their paws. Tapped for the G-FORCE are guinea pigs Darwin (voice of
SAM ROCKWELL), the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster
(voice of TRACY MORGAN), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and
a love for all things extreme; and Juarez (voice of PENELOPE CRUZ), a sexy
martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch,
and a star-nosed mole, Speckles (voice of NICOLAS CAGE), the computer and
information specialist. Along the way, the G-FORCE encounters myriad other
members of the animal kingdom, including pet shop layabout Hurley (voice of JON
FAVREAU) and the rabidly territorial hamster Bucky (voice of STEVE BUSCEMI).

Directed by Academy Award®-winning visual effects master Hoyt Yeatman-G-FORCE
takes audiences on a high-octane thrill ride, proving once and for all that the
world needs bigger heroes.
