CHRIS EVANS
TO LEAD 'GIFTED' DRAMA
Our favourite of Hollywood hunks, Chris Evans is one of those big blockbuster stars that also like to give strong dramatic performances and one of such is expected to be seen in the latest movie he has joined: in GIFTED he will play an underachiever named Frank Adler, a man raising his young niece Mary in rural Florida, who is quickly labelled as gifted after she starts school. Frank soon finds himself locked in a custody battle, fighting the girl's mother Evelyn for the right to raise Mary - and he's prepared to sue.The movie is to be helmed by SPIDERMAN director Marc Webb.

'MISS YOU ALREADY' TRAILER
TONI COLLETTE AND DREW BARRYMORE ARE BEST FRIENDS
The second trailer has been released for moving drama starring Toni Collette and Drew Barymore MISS YOU ALREADY out this
November. It is an honest and powerful story following two best friends, Milly (Toni Collette) and Jess (Drew Barrymore), as they navigate life's highs and lows. Inseparable since they were young girls, they can't remember a time they didn't share everything... Secrets, clothes, even boyfriends... But what happens when both are hit with life-altering news - one has cancer, the other gets pregnant. The drama celebrates the bond of true friendship that ultimately can never be broken, even in life's toughest moments.
