If you ever thought people who take small boats out into the middle of the ocean are completely nuts, then Adrift is here to show you that you are completely correct.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘From the director of Everest and starring SHAILENE WOODLEY (Big Little Lies, The Fault in our Stars) and SAM CLAFLIN (Journey’s End, Me Before You, The Hunger Games films), ADRIFT is based on the incredible true story of two young adventurers whose chance encounter leads them first to love, and then to a fight for survival. Setting off on the journey of a lifetime across the Pacific Ocean, Tami Oldham (Woodley) and Richard Sharp (Claflin) are pushed to their limits as they sail directly into one of the most catastrophic storms in recorded history.
‘In the aftermath, Tami awakens to find Richard badly injured and their boat in ruins. With no hope for rescue, Tami must find the strength and determination to save herself and the only man she has ever loved. ADRIFT is an unforgettable story about the resilience of the human spirit and the remarkable power of love. ADRIFT is directed by BALTASAR KORMÁKUR (Everest, 2 Guns, The Deep).’
The film is due in US cinemas in June 1st, before arriving in UK cinemas on June 29th. Take a look at the final trailer below. [Read more…]
If you ever thought people who take small boats out into the middle of the ocean are completely nuts, then Adrift is here to show you that you are completely correct.
Synopsis: ‘Based on RC Sherriff’s play and novel of the same name JOURNEY’S END is set in March 1918 as C-Company, led by a war-weary Captain Stanhope (Sam Claflin) arrives in northern France to take its turn in the front-line trenches. Told that a German offensive is imminent Stanhope drowns his fears in whisky whilst the officers (Paul Bettany, Stephen Graham, Tom Sturridge) and their cook (Toby Jones) attempt to distract themselves in their dugout with talk of food and life before war.
I’ve seen Sam Claflin in person a couple of times, and he’s always struck me as a genuinely nice man. Now he’s gone up even further in my estimation by suggesting he wouldn’t mind getting steamy on screen with the Hemsworth brothers.
During World War II the UK, those who weren’t fighting had to make all sorts of cutbacks, with food rationed, blackouts ordered at night and limits on nearly everything. However, cinema was seen as so important to raising morale that the government invested large amounts of money in uplifting movies. It certainly worked, as more cinema tickets were sold per year in Britain between 1942 and 1946 than at any other time in history.
Synopsis: ‘Often times you find love where you least expect it. Sometimes it takes you where you never expected to go… Louisa “Lou” Clark (Clarke) lives in a quaint town in the English countryside. With no clear direction in her life, the quirky and creative 26-year-old goes from one job to the next in order to help her tight-knit family make ends meet.
On November 19th we’ll get to see how The Hunger Games series comes to an end with Mockingjay – Part 2. It’s certainly been quite a ride to get here, with some really good movies which have become box office titans.
Youtube has revamped the look of their videos, although we’re presuming that wasn’t done in preparation for the release of the first full The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 Trailer. However the two have coincided, and you can take a look below.
