June 9, 2010 - Secretariat / poster debuts
Scooped on Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Disney has provided us with the first poster for Secretariat as well as some notes about the film:
- In 1973, Secretariat became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in 25 years, setting race records that still stand today in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes.
- Penny Chenery, the woman that Diane Lane plays in the film (and who is now 87), was an integral resource in the making of the film. She also appears as an extra in one of the film's scenes.
- In 1973, Secretariat graced the covers of three magazines the same week: Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated.
- Director Randall Wallace, whose directorial credits include We Were Soldiers, is the Oscar- and Golden Globe-nominated screenwriter of Braveheart.
- In 1999, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a 33-cent postage stamp with Secretariat's image.
