First look at Catherine Zeta Jones and Anthony Hopkins in new movie drama A VISIT TO GRANDPA'S has been issued. It follows a young boy sent to spend one summer with his charismatic and wildly eccentric grandfather (Anthony Hopkins) on a remote Welsh farm. Expecting dull days and strict rules, the boy instead stumbles into a world of delightful chaos and imagination — where outrageous stories are spun, and a world of wonder, memory, and mischief unfolds. What begins as a reluctant visit becomes a magical journey of connection, discovery, and unexpected joy. The film also starring Aneurin Barnard and Geraldine James is currently shooting.

dangerous past as an international cocaine dealer.
As life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn
when she discovers The Seven Demons, a squad of hitmen, have been hired
to kill her. Assuming someone from her past is behind it, Jackie
unleashes her old instincts and embarks on a plan to take down The
Demons one by one before they kill her. However, she soon realises her
own demons are much more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her
trail and her buried secrets ultimately lead her much closer to home,
with surprising consequences

'DAD'S ARMY' POSTERS
WITH CATHERINE ZETA JONES, BILL NIGHY, TOBY JONES
Meanwhile, a number of delightful character posters have been released for new British movie comedy DAD'S ARMY the remake of legendary BBC classic series which will march (or die trying) into cinemas next February with a stellar cast lead by Toby Jones as Captain Mainwaring and Bill Nighy as Sergeant Wilson. They're joined by Corporal Jones (Tom Courtenay), Private Godfrey (Michael Gambon), Private Pike (Blake Harrison) and Private Walker (Danny Mays), plus Catherine Zeta Jones's visiting journalist Rose Winters who's writing an article on the home guard.
BRITISH EMPIRE STRIKES BACK The story is set in the waning days of World War II in the small
village of Walmington-on-Sea, where Captain George Mainwaring (Jones) is
leading a group of volunteers in the Home Guard. In a bizarre twist of
fate, Mainwaring and his men might just become Britain's last line of
defence against the Nazis when they discover a spy in their village.
Check out the first trailer and poster for Bradley Cooper's new movie BURNT (previously known as ADAM JONES) which is out this October. Chef Adam Jones had it all, and lost it. A two-star Michelin rockstar with the bad habits to match, the former enfant terrible of the Paris restaurant scene did everything different every time out, and only ever cared about the thrill of creating explosions of taste. To land his own kitchen and that third elusive Michelin star though, he'll need the best of the best on his side, including the beautiful Helene (Sienna Miller). Also starring Emma Thompson, BURNT is a remarkably funny and emotional story about the love of food, the love between two people, and the power of second chances.
