WELCOME TO THE HIGH LIFE  
London, 1975. Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) is a young doctor seduced by the lifestyle in a HIGH RISE, an isolated community, cut off from the rest of society in their luxury tower block, and its creator, the architect Anthony Royal (Jeremy Irons). Taking up residence on the twenty-fifth floor, Laing discovers a world of complex loyalties, and also strikes up a relationship with Royal’s devoted aide Charlotte (Sienna Miller). After Laing befriends Richard Wilder (Luke Evans), a documentary filmmaker relegated to the second floor who is determined to provoke the class injustices inherent in the HIGH RISE, a dangerous social situation develops and the high-rise eventually fragments into violent tribes.

DISNEY'S FIRST TRAILER FOR

Disney has revealed the first trailer for their fairy tale movie ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS which is out next May! Alice (Mia Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father's footsteps and sailing the high seas.

The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana (Anne Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time.

MINDBLOWING 'PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES' TRAILER IS HERE WITH LILY JAMES, DOUGLAS BOOTH, JACK HUSTON, MATT SMITH! LUKE EVANS, HENRY CAVILL, NICHOLAS HOULT IN 'SAND CASTLE'!

'SAND CASTLE' REUNITES

LUKE EVANS & HENRY CAVILL

Well, we can only hope that the movie won't be a shameless propaganda for US army and their aggressive invasions, but two of our most beloved movie stars, Luke Evans and Henry Cavill will star together in SAND CASTLE Iraq set movie alongside Nicholas Hoult! This will be their second time to star together after Tarsem Sing's magnificent epic adventure IMMORTALS in which Evans was the powerful supreme God Zeus while Cavill was the brave Greek hero Theseus! 

'SAND CASTLE' PLOT
The plot of SAND CASTLE centres on Matt Ocre (Nicholas Hoult), who is part of a mission to repair a broken water system in the dangerous and unstable Iraqi village of Baqubah. While the people of Baghdad welcome the Americans as saviours, the villagers resist their presence and Matt and his unit must try to convince the community that they are part of the solution, not the problem, in order to save the town and get out alive. Luke Evans will be playing the sergeant in charge of Ocre’s unit and Henry Cavill is the special forces captain running the operation in Baqubah.

'PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES' TRAILER IS HERE!

WITH LILY JAMES, DOUGLAS BOOTH, JACK HUSTON, SAM RILEY

Well, it starts delightfully and idyllically and then it just all goes straight into zombie hell: that is how you could describe the first trailer for PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES which brings horror fun to cinemas next February starring  Lily James as Elizabeth Bennett, Sam Riley as Mr. Darcy, Bella Heathcote, Douglas Booth as Mr Bingley, Jack Huston as Mr Whickam, Charles Dance, Lena Headey, and Matt Smith as Mr. Collins! The 19th century courting  between Elizabeth and Darcy is sadly interrupted by the ''sorry stricken'' (aka the Victorian zombies) who plague their shire so it is up to her, Mr Darcy and her sisters to stop the highly inappropriate gory madness! Based on Seth Grahame Smith's novel, the movie stays far away from being campy!

'BEAUTY AND THE BEAST' 

LUKE EVANS TO SING TWO SONGS

Being wonderfully blasphemous and delightfully irreverent as we truly are, we're not sending you to Church this Sunday but to our own enchanting hunkfest! Starting with our deeply beloved Welsh superstar Luke Evans. Now, as some of you know, HOBBIT and DRACULA star has the most amazing singing voice (check out his song from RENT in the clip below) and I myself have been begging him to record an album for years now, but it seems we will hear that stunning voice of his on the big screen since Disney has revealed that he will have two songs in their live action adaptation of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in which he plays charmingly narcissistic Gaston alongside Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Dan Stevens, Ewan McGregor and Kevin Kline. Legendary Alan Menken is writing the music and Luke has revealed, speaking for 'Collider' that his two songs are 'incredibly unique and different'! Bill Condon is directing.
