PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON $200 MILLION EPIC ADVENTURE ALITA BATTLE ANGEL FROM JAMES CAMERON FEATURING A CGI RENDERED LEAD!

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL
 AN ANGEL FALLS, WARRIOR RISES
Alita is finally arriving this February!
This one definitely had to go through a very rough and tough way in order to finally get into cinemas February 14th! ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL took more than two decades to be made: James Cameron wanted to direct it himself and it was his passion project for a long time, but he had to give the helm over to Robert Rodriguez because of his commitments to Avatar sequels. Then there was also lots of trouble finding the actors (Jack Lowden, Douglas Booth and many actresses were in the run for the leads). Now the movie is finally here after the whooping sum of almost $200 million was spent on its

production. Although the first reactions to the movie are positive, it will hardly return even a portion of that money especially after the recent tragic fall of

Mortal Engines, another world building fantasy epic.

ALITA IS A CREATION
 from an age of despair. Found by the mysterious Dr. Ido (Christoph Waltz) while trolling for cyborg parts, Alita (Rosa Salazar) becomes a lethal, dangerous being. She cannot remember who she is, or where she came from. But to Dr. Ido, the truth is all too clear. She is the one being who can break the cycle of death and destruction left behind from Tiphares. But to accomplish her true purpose, she must fight and kill. And that is where Alita's true significance comes to bear. She is an angel from heaven. She is an angel of death. ALITA BATTLE ANGEL follows the story of the titular Alita, a disembodied "core"

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON 'TULIP FEVER' COSTUME DRAMA WITH ALICIA VIKANDER, JUDI DENCH, DANE DEHAAN, CHRISTOPH WALTZ, HOLLIDAY GRAINGER, MATTHEW MORRISON, KEVIN MCKIDD

'TULIP FEVER' PHOTOS
ALICIA VIKANDER & CHRISTOPH WALTZ IN STAR STUDDED MOVIE
Although four long years have passed since it has been shot, period set costume drama TULIP FEVER is only now ready to bloom in cinemas: February 24th will mark the start of its theatre life. It is interesting that its main star Alicia Vikander has in the meantime become one of the most wanted actresses in Hollywood even though she was a relative unknown back when she was cast in the movie instead of Kate Winslet who was the original choice together with Jude Law back in 2004 when the movie was first supposed to be made.

LOVE AND TULIPS
The story of the movie is set in Dutch capital city Amsterdam and follows a beautiful young woman (Alicia Vikander) from the 17th century, married to wealthy merchant (Christoph Waltz), who commissions an artist (Dane DeHaan) to paint her portrait. When the artist arrives, she's smitten, and they plan for a future together by putting their money into the highly speculative tulip market, in which certain flower bulbs were worth huge sums.

JUDI DENCH ALSO IN THE CAST
This $25 million historical drama, directed by Justin Chadwick (who already shot one costume movie The Other Boleyn Girl but it was a major flop both among the critics and the audience), is actually a big screen adaptation of beloved worldwide best selling book by Deborah Moggach also known for her book These Foolish Things which was adapted into classic Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movie. The cast also includes Judi Dench who portrays the Abbess of St. Ursula’s, a rescuer of orphan children. Matthew Morrison appears as drunken bohemian artist Mattheus! Jack O’Connell, Holliday Grainger, Kevin McKidd, Tom Hollander round up the stellar cast and Cressida Bonas plays Mrs. Steen, a merchant’s young wife.

DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON
Tulip mania or tulipomania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age in the 1600s during which contract prices for bulbs of the recently introduced tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then suddenly collapsed! At the peak of tulip mania, in March 1637, some single tulip bulbs sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman. The first tulips came to Europe in 1550s when Ottoman Empire sultan sent first bulbs to Vienna.Tulips were different from any other flower known in Europe at that time.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT WITH NEW TRAILER AND POSTERS ON 'LEGEND OF TARZAN' EPIC ADVENTURE WITH ALEXANDER SKARGARD, MARGOT ROBBIE, CHRISTOPH WALTZ, JIM BROADBENT, SAMUEL L. JACKSON, JOHN HURT, DJIMON HOUNSOU

 'THE LEGEND OF TARZAN'
NEW TRAILER AND POSTERS!
Here's something to cheer up your boring beginning of the week: gorgeous new posters and a brand new, third, positively stunning trailer for $180 million extravaganza LEGEND OF TARZAN, this summer's second biggest epic adventure which will storm into cinemas next month starring Alexander Skarsgard as the legendary Lord of the Jungle, with gorgeous Margot Robbie as the blond new Jane! David Yates is directing the latest adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's novel! With Christoph Waltz playing the main villain Captain Rom, the rest of the cast also includes Djimon Hounsou, Jim Broadbent, Samuel L. Jackson, and John Hurt!

KING OF THE JUNGLE 
It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan left the jungles of Africa, where he was raised by gorillas, behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke (Alexander Skarsgard), with his beloved wife, Jane (Margot Robbie) at his side. Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Captain Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz). But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash. Djimon Hounsou portrays Chief Mbonga, the leader of an African tribe, while  John Hurt appears in the movie as Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter, Jane's father and Tarzan's father in law.
 DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON  
With Captain Rom being Belgian, the movie will have a historical side too, since Belgian kind Leopold II, one of the greatest villains the world has ever seen, launched a shockingly brutal genocide of millions of black people after he conquered the Congo as his own colony in the 1880s! He also left millions of people maimed with their hands cut off. The number of dead people in the exploited Congo was over ten million!
