We have a trio of special featurettes on some much-anticipated offerings.
First up is an interesting look at TRON: LEGACY director, Joseph Kosinski’s futuristic sci-fi epic, OBLIVION. Tom Cruise headlines as a drone repairman controlling a deserted skies after our planet is left on the brink of destruction. However, he soon discovers secrets from his past are about to collide with the present, making him question not only his missionb but the history of mankind. OBLIVION strikes 12th April with Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough co-starring.
Next we have the latest actioner from TRAINING DAY’s Antoine Fuqua, which sees Gerard Butler lead an all-star cast while giving his best John McClane impersonation in OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN. The 300 hunk plays a Secret Service Agent who’s the only one up to the job in saving the President when foreign invaders target the White House. The explosive effort again has Morgan Freeman and Melissa Leo supporting, alongside Aaron Ekhart’s Commander-In-Cheif. It hits the States 22nd March and the UK 17th April.
Finally we have more flesh on show from Harmony Korine’s dark comic-crime caper, SPRING BREAKERS. Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens are the bikini-clad beauties hoping to fund their Spring Break vacation with a series of robberies. The law soon catches up with the college girls but are bailed out by James Franco’s drug-dealer, who sees their potential and puts them to work with his own cruel set of rules. The film is on limited release in the US from Friday while a UK date is slated for 5th April.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
