NEW POSTERS FOR 'ALLIED' WW2 EPIC DRAMA WITH BRAD PITT, MARION COTILLARD, 'LION' WITH DEV PATEL, NICOLE KIDMAN, DAVID WENHAM

NEW 'ALLIED' POSTER

BRAD PITT & MARION COTILLARD

Two new posters for you today, starting with the first one for World War II movie ALLIED starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard which should hit cinemas later this November around the world also starring Matthew Goode.

Set in 1942, it sees Brad Pitt playing an intelligence officer in North Africa who encounters a female French Resistance fighter on a deadly mission behind enemy lines played by Cotillard. When they reunite in London, their relationship is tested by the pressures of war. I must admit that poster looks cheap as hell and beyond.

NEW 'LION' POSTER

 DEV PATEL AND NICOLE KIDMAN

Another touching drama that has just got a new poster is the adaptation of Larry Buttrose novel LION in which Dev Patel plays a grown up version of a five year old Indian boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta, thousands of kilometers from home. He survives many challenges before being adopted by a couple in Australia; 25 years later, he sets out to find his lost family. Nicole Kidman plays his adoptive mother with David Wenham as the father. The movie will start its release November in North America, in December in Europe and from January in UK and Australia and Germany.

BBC TURNS 'THE LUMINARIES' 

INTO GOLD RUSH EPIC TV SERIES

Here's a new period set project for us: BBC 2 is to turn Eleanor Catton's novel THE LUMINARIES into a six part TV series set on the Wild West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island in the boom years of the 1860s gold rush!

The 2013 Man Booker Prize winner starts in 1865, following a defiant young adventurer Anna Wetherell, who has sailed from Britain to New Zealand to begin a new life. There she meets the radiant Emery Staines, an encounter that triggers a strange kind of magic that neither can explain. But Anna must survive the dangerous world, where shipwreck and murder, blackmail and betrayal, greed, gold and false imprisonment all conspire to keep her apart from Emery. The star-crossed lovers begin to wonder: Do we make our fortunes, or do our fortunes make us?
