PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON 'ASSASSIN'S CREED' EPIC ADVENTURE WITH MICHAEL FASSBENDER, MARION COTILLARD, JEREMY IRONS, BRENDAN GLEESON

'ASSASSIN'S CREED' 
WITH MICHAEL FASSBENDER!
Believe it or not, people, winter is very close and with it the end of the year with festive December movie season in cinemas. Although we don't have any Hobbits or Lord of the Rings to bring up the magic, we will have our dose of epic fun in the big screen adaptation of ultra popular video game ASSASSIN'S CREED with Michael Fassbender as the hooded knife throwing vigilante Callum Lynch which will sweep the movie theatres this Christmas week! Tell me, how excited are you? The talks of possible sequels are already circling around, and some stories say certain scenes for the second part have already been shot during the shooting of the first upcoming movie.

THE STORY

Career criminal Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) is rescued from his own execution by Abstergo Industries, the modern day incarnation of the Templar Order. He is forced to participate in the Animus Project and relive the memories (through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his own genetic memories) of his 17th century ancestor Aguilar de Nerha (also played by Fassy), an Assassin during the Spanish Inquisition. As Lynch continues to experience Aguilar's memories, he begins to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to confront the Templars, age-old enemies of the Assassins, in the present day.

MARION COTILLARD AND JEREMY IRONS  STAR
With Michael Fassbender playing the lead role, the lead female one is portrayed by French star Marion Cotillard! She plays the leading scientist of the Animus project at Abstergo Foundation which is dedicated to the "perfection" of humankind and is owned by her father played by Jeremy Irons. Callum's father is, meanwhile, portrayed by Brendan Gleeson. The $200 million worth movie adventure is directed by Justin Kurzel who already worked with Fassy and Cotillard together on Macbeth. The premiere of the movie has been pushed four times so far before the movie got its Christmas 2016 opening date. The "Leap of Faith" stunt seen on the poster, in which Callum is jumping into air from a tower wasn't done by special effects but by one of the stuntmen who did a record breaking 125 feet high free fall.

DELIGHTFUL 'THIS BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC' ROMANTIC MOVIE TRAILER WITH JESSICA BROWN FINDLAY, JEREMY IRVINE, TOM WILKINSON! 'ALONE IN BERLIN' WW2 TRAILER WITH EMMA THOMPSON, BRENDAN GLEESON

'THIS BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC
TRAILER WITH JESSICA BROWN FINDLAY AND JEREMY IRVINE
The only thing I have for you to cheer up the boring Monday today is the first trailer for delightfully lovely romantic British drama THIS BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC which should enchant cinemas later this year with lovely Jessica Brown Findlay, dashing Jeremy Irvine and acting legend Tom Wilkinson leading the cast!
THIS BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC is a contemporary fairy tale revolving around the most unlikely of friendships between a reclusive, agoraphobic young woman (Jessica Brown Findlay) with dreams of being a children’s book author and a curmudgeonly old widower (Tom Wilkinson), set against the backdrop of a beautiful garden in the heart of London. Bella Brown is a beautifully quirky young woman who dreams of writing and illustrating a successful children’s book. Despite her abandonment as a child, the all consuming OCD, the unfulfilled dream, her awful boss at the library and her paralysing fear of flora and fauna, Bella is down but not out. She has a spark, an edge, a talent and a voice that we can feel from the get go. This girl has a preternatural survival instinct, having been found in the middle of winter in the middle of Hyde Park as a babe. When Bella is forced by her landlord to deal with her neglected garden or face eviction, she meets her nemesis, match and mentor in Alfie Stephenson, a cantankerous, loveless, rich old man who lives next door and is an amazing horticulturist.



'ALONE IN BERLIN' TRAILER
WITH EMMA THOMPSON AND BRENDAN GLEESON
A lot more gloomy is the first trailer for World War II drama ALONE IN BERLIN which arrives next month directed by French actor Vincent Perez and starring Emma Thompson, Brendan Gleeson and Daniel Bruhl.
Based on a true story, which served as an inspiration for Hans Fallada novel, ALONE IN BERLIN is set in 1940 following a working class couple in World War II era Berlin, Otto and Anna Quangel, who decide to resist Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, after receiving the news of the death of their only son. They start writing postcards to urge people to stand against Hitler and the Nazis and protest against them. Escherich is the Gestapo inspector charged with finding the source of the postcards.

She witnesses him being attacked by a group of professional thugs. Shocked, she calls the police and watches, through her binoculars, as help arrives.
