Pixar latest gets a look, and Alternate Current bring us to re-releases. First a British classic from Warp Films & Film4, then a slick revenge yarn from Entertainment Film Distributors, Vertigo Releasing!!!
'80 for Brady' is directed by Kyle Marvin and written by Sarah Haskins & Emily Halpern. Inspired by the true story of four best friends (Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, Sally Field) living life to the fullest when they take a wild trip to the 2017 Super Bowl LI to see their hero Tom Brady play.
'Scream VI' is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and written by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick. Following the latest Ghostface killings, the four survivors (Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding) leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.
'Elemental' is directed by Peter Sohn and written by John Hoberg, Kat Likkel & Brenda Hsueh. We follow fire element Ember Lumen (Leah Lewis) and water element Wade Ripple (Mamoudou Athie), who meet and fall in love after Wade is summoned by a plumbing accident at a convenience store owned by Ember's father, Bernie (Ronnie del Carmen).
'Dead Man’s Shoes' is directed by Shane Meadows and co-written with Paddy Considine & Paul Fraser. Richard (Paddy Considine) has always protected his little brother Anthony (Toby Kebbell). When Richard leaves the rural village where they have grown up to join the army, Anthony is taken in by Sonny (Gary Stretch), a controlling and vicious local drug dealer, and his gang of lads. Anthony becomes the gang’s pet and plaything, as they initiate him into their sordid ways. 7 years later, Richard returns for revenge.
'Lucky Number Slevin' is directed by Paul McGuigan and written by Jason Smilovic. A case of mistaken identity lands Slevin (Josh Hartnett) in the middle of a war being plotted by two of the city’s most infamous crime bosses: The Rabbi (Ben Kingsley) and The Boss (Morgan Freeman). Slevin is under constant surveillance by relentless Detective Brikowski (Stanley Tucci) as well as the infamous assassin Goodkat (Bruce Willis) and finds himself having to hatch his own ingenious plot to get them before they get him.
