Dying of the Light


In cinemas and on digital platforms on January 2nd, 2015

Directed by the legendary Paul Schrader and executive produced by cinematic wunderkind Nicolas Winding Refn, DYING OF THE LIGHT, the first essential thriller of 2015, explodes onto cinema screens and premium digital platforms on January 2nd, 2015 courtesy of Signature Entertainment.

Evan Lake (Nicolas Cage – On Frozen Ground, Face/Off) is a desk-bound Langley CIA agent, forced into retirement by signs of early onset dementia. At the same time he discovers that his former nemesis, Jihadist Muhhamed Banir (Alexander Karim – Zero Dark Thirty, TV’s Tyrant), is not dead as has been assumed for the last two decades, but is alive and receiving experimental medical treatment. Banir's exact location is unknown but with the help of a disgraced young agent (Anton Yelchin – Odd Thomas, Star Trek), Evan sets out to track down and confront him before it is too late for both of them. A supremely classy cast is rounded out by French cinema icon Irene Jacob (Othello, The Inner Life Of Martin Frost).

Beating Homeland at its own game and taking a remarkably prescient and refreshingly original look at the cat and mouse thriller, DYING OF THE LIGHT sees Cage deliver a blistering, unforgettable performance as a man driven to obsession by his past and by what his own future holds.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies


From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” the third in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and the Company of Dwarves. The Dwarves of Erebor have reclaimed the vast wealth of their homeland, but now must face the consequences of having unleashed the terrifying Dragon, Smaug, upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.

As he succumbs to dragon-sickness, the King Under the Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield, sacrifices friendship and honor in his search for the legendary Arkenstone. Unable to help Thorin see reason, Bilbo is driven to make a desperate and dangerous choice, not knowing that even greater perils lie ahead. An ancient enemy has returned to Middle-earth.  Sauron, the Dark Lord, has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide—unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends as five great armies go to war.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies opens nationwide across the UK on 12th December 2014.
