Brimming with fantastical creatures, palaces and beautiful forests, the world of Terabithia is brought to life by the amazing Academy Award®-winning visual effects wizards at Weta Digital ("The Lord of the Rings," "King Kong").
Grbavica: The Land of My Dreams
Studio: Strand Releasing
Director: Jasmila Žbanić
Screenwriter: Jasmila Žbanić
Starring: Mirjana Karanovic, Luna Mijovic
Genre: Drama, Foreign
Plot Summary: Set in a contemporary Sarajevo still reeling from the aftermath of war, "Grbavica: The Land of My Dreams" is a textured and authentic testament to the innate drive to triumph over conflict. Throughout the film, Jasmila Zbanic indeed reveals the women of Grbavica to be a community of strong-willed survivors. Esma (Mirjana Karanovic) is a single mother who lives with her rebellious twelve-year-old daughter, Sara (Luna Mijovic), in the Grbavica district of Sarajevo, a neighborhood used as an internment camp during the conflict in the nineties. In a nuanced, beautifully rendered performance, Karanovic portrays a woman who has surrendered to life’s graver indignities, while consciously affirming her existence through small triumphs.
Breach
Studio: Universal Pictures
Director: Billy Ray
Screenwriter: Billy Ray, Adam Mazer, William Rotko
Starring: Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe, Laura Linney, Dennis Haysbert, Kathleen Quinlan, Gary Cole, Caroline Dhavernas, Bruce Davison, Mary Jo Deschanel, Gary Cole
Genre: Thriller
Plot Summary: Inspired by true events, "Breach" is a dramatic thriller set inside the halls of the FBI-the gatekeeper of the nation's most sensitive and potentially volatile secrets.
When young Eric O'Neill (Phillippe) is promoted out of his low-level surveillance job and into the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, his dream of becoming a full-fledged agent is on the verge of becoming reality. Even more impressive, O'Neill is hand picked to work for renowned operative Robert Hanssen (Cooper) within "information assurance," a new division created to protect all classified FBI Intelligence.
But O'Neill is quickly confronted with the true reason behind his hire: Hanssen is the sole subject of a long-term, top-secret investigation, a suspected mole made all the more dangerous by the sheer global import of the information he is charged with protecting. The Bureau asks O'Neill to use Hanssen's growing trust and slowly draw the traitor out of deep cover. Engaged in a lethal game of spy-versus-spy without the benefit of a cover story or backup, O'Neill finds himself fighting to bring down Hanssen before the treacherous double-agent can destroy O'Neill, his family and the nation they are both sworn to serve.
Following his success with the electrifying and acclaimed "Shattered Glass," writer/director Billy Ray explores more deeply the disillusionment and questionable moral mentorship of a young idealist in "Breach". The film is produced by Bobby Newmyer ("Training Day"), Scott Strauss ("Mindhunters") and Scott Kroopf ("The Last Samurai"). Universal Pictures will release the film in North America and Kimmel International will distribute globally.
