Q&A WITH ERIC CLAPTON & DIRECTOR LILI FINI ZANUCK BROADCAST LIVE TO CINEMAS FROM THE BFI SOUTHBANK JANUARY 10, 7PM

HI FILM FANS, This film brochure sees us into Oscar season, with some absolutely amazing films on the horizon.

Curiosity abounds over ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD, the circumstances around the reshoots have really put the film on a tight deadline. Christopher Plummer has already been Golden Globe nominated for his role in the action thriller. THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI is an outstanding drama with some awards worthy performances.

The new film from Steven Spielberg THE POST stars American acting royalty Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep and covers the Washington Post uncovering a war conspiracy. Gary Oldman will chew his way through awards season with his performance as Winston Churchill in DARKEST HOUR. Alexander Payne’s new

comedy drama DOWNSIZING sees Matt Damon shrunk to 4 inches tall in the near future.

For families there’s two movies from great animation studios, COCO from the geniuses at Pixar and EARLY MAN from Wallace and Gromit creators Aardman.

As well as a great line-up for our weekly Saturday Morning Pictures.

Into February there’s more great drama with Colin Firth in THE MERCY, Daniel Day Lewis in PHANTOM THREAD and the new film from Clint Eastwood 15:17 TO PARIS.

MY PICK

I have seen THREE BILLBOARDS and it’s incredible. Can’t recommend it highly enough. But am also very excited to see the new film from Paul Thomas Anderson PHANTOM THREAD. James, Film Officer

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

DIRECTOR Michael Gracey | STARRING Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Zac Efron | SPECIFICATION (PG) USA

STARRING

2017. 105 Mins

SYNOPSIS Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.

HUGH JACKMAN

BUZZ Hugh Jackman has become a fantastic movie star. He

can sing, he can dance, he can act! Is there anything he can’t do. This is his first musical since LES MISERABLES and it looks visually stunning. Containing great big song and dance numbers in the old fashioned musical sense. Think HELLO DOLLY and OKLAHOMA. This is the sort of original musical that doesn’t come along very often anymore so grab it with both hands and enjoy it while you can!

SYNOPSIS Rome 1973. Masked men kidnap the teenage

grandson of Jean Paul Getty - the richest man in the world, yet a notorious miser. When the oil magnate refuses to pay a single dollar for the boys release, his mother goes to desperate lengths to ensure the safe return of her son. It’s a race against time as the mob captors become more volatile and brutal.

PRISONERS

BUZZ Most of the buzz around this film has been the last

minute recasting of Christopher Plummer as J. Paul Getty (replacing Kevin Spacey). Director Ridley Scott had barely a month to reshoot all of the scenes and re-edit the film. It looks like a real edge of your seat thriller to start the year with a bang!

Britain, Winston Churchill must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.

DUNKIRK

BUZZ Gary Oldman is tipped for big awards for his

performance as Churchill. Although war movie fatigue may have set in after DUNKIRK and CHURCHILL, the word is that this is the real crowd-pleaser of the bunch. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE director Joe Wright returns to WWII again after his stunning Dunkirk scenes in ATONEMENT.

three billboards with a controversial message aimed at the local police dept who have failed to find the killer of her daughter. Tensions in the town ratchet up as the revered police chief and the grieving mother both fight for justice.

FRANCES MCDORMAND

BUZZ This is one of those films where all the elements line-up perfectly. The script is brilliant - haunting yet humourous, amazingly deft and subtle direction coupled with noteperfect performances by the entire cast. I’d put a tenner on Frances McDormand winning Best Actress! Simply fantastc achievement for McDonagh after IN BRUGES and SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS.

DIRECTOR Stephen Spielberg| STARRING Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep | SPECIFICATION (12A), USA 2017. 116 Mins SYNOPSIS A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents

pushed the country’s first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between journalist and government. Inspired by true events at The Washington Post.

BUZZ This is pretty much a dream project. The world’s biggest movie director with two of Hollywood’s finest actors. Tom Hanks gives a reliably superb performance and Meryl Streep is her usual brilliant self. This film has already been picking up awards and will undoubtedly receive Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.There’s also a brand new score by master composer John Williams to look forward to.

creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of Dug, along with sidekick Hognob as they unite his tribe against a mighty enemy Lord Nooth and his Bronze Age City to save their home.

TOM HIDDLESTONE

BUZZ New feature from WALLACE & GROMIT creators Aardman Animation. Aardman have been lovingly creating iconic British animations for over 45 years and are absolute experts at making hilarious films for audiences of all ages. This charming adventure looks set to join the ranks with THE WRONG TROUSERS and CHICKEN RUN as a future classic. There’s a quintessentially British cast as always.

EDDIE REDMAYNE

TIMOTHY SPALL

DIRECTOR Alexander Payne | STARRING Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Kristen Wiig | SPECIFICATION (15), USA 2017. 135 Mins

SYNOPSIS Social satire set in the near-future where

scientists have worked out a way for the growing human population to all fit on earth - Miniaturisation! Paul Safranek and his wife Audrey make the decision to ‘downsize’ to 4 inches tall and move to a small community. But the paradise they were sold might not be all it was cracked up to be...

BUZZ Alexander Payne follows up his acclaimed NEBRASKA

and SIDEWAYS with this offbeat comedy. Matt Damon excels as the lead character who discovers the size of his heart and conscience once he is shrunk! Christoph Waltz gives an amazing performance as Damon’s eccentric neighbour who treads a fine line in legality on the small world.

AMY

Box Office Supervisor I’ve been excited about this Oscar tipped movie for MONTHS since seeing the trailer - this is a fresh BIG budget ‘miniature’ film reminiscent of ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’ and ‘The Borrowers’, but this one is for the adults. Move over Rick Moranis; Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig are here to take your tiny crown!

DIRECTOR Saul Dibb | STARRING Asa Butterfield, Sam Claflin, Paul Bettany, Toby Jones | SPECIFICATION (12A), UK 2017. 108 Mins

SYNOPSIS Set over 4 days in March 1918 in the trenches on the front line, a small group of soldiers wait to be bombarded by enemy artillery, anticipating certain death. The story charts the tension and claustrophobia of the officers’ dug-out as new recruit, 18-year-old Lieutenant Raleigh joins the company commanded by 20 year old Captain Stanhope, his former childhood friend and hero, who has changed almost beyond recognition.

BUZZ Following great reviews from the London Film Festival, Saul Dibb follows up SUITE FRANCAIS with this adaptation of RC Sherriff’s much loved WWI play. A fantastic all-star British cast bring the story to life with an amazing realism in the photography.

SPOTLIGHT Journey’s End was first performed on the stage in 1928 and has since been adapted for film four times, most memorably by James Whale in 1930. Although RC Sherriff struggled to get the play to the stage, being told that ‘people don’t want war plays’, since it’s first production it has rarely been off the stage.

Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector, and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.

BUZZ This new film from Pixar studios and TOY STORY 3

director Lee Unkrich has already broken box office records in America and looks to be another pixar classic. Pixar always manage to find an amazing concept that shouldn’t work and find the human emotion within to create fantastic worlds and stories. I can’t wait for this.

Rigoletto, court jester to the libertine Duke of Mantua, is cursed by the father of one of the Duke’s victims for his irreverent laughter. When the Duke seduces Rigoletto’s daughter Gilda, it seems the curse is taking effect…

ROYAL OPERA EXHIBITION ON HOUSE SCREEN CEZANNE: PORTRAITS TOSCA OF A LIFE One can’t appreciate 20th century art without understanding the significance and genius of Paul Cézanne.

Featuring interviews with curators and experts, and correspondence from the artist himself, the film takes audiences beyond the exhibition to the places Cézanne lived and worked and sheds light on an artist who is perhaps the least-known of all the impressionists – until now.

A candle-lit church, Scarpia’s gloomy study with its hidden torture chamber and the false optimism of a Roman dawn: this handsome production throws into relief the ruthlessly taut drama, as the tension is wound up towards a fateful conclusion. Puccini’s meticulously researched score is infused with the same authentic detail, from distant cannon fire during the Act I Te Deum to tolling church bells and the sounds of a firing squad.

ROYAL OPERA HOUSE THE WINTER’S TALE Christopher Wheeldon presents the story of the destruction of a marriage through consuming jealousy, the abandonment of a child and a seemingly hopeless love.

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

BUZZ This amazing true story is told with care and attention

for it’s characters by director James Marsh (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING). Colin Firth’s performance is picking up awards buzz and Rachel Weisz has been getting great notices as well.

If you don’t know this true story it will surprise you and if you do know it, then seeing the events unfurl as the movie goes on will be a real treat. One of those stories that you think is too crazy to be true.

SYNOPSIS The real-life story of three men whose brave

act turned them into heroes during a highspeed railway ride.

August 21, 2015, the world watched in stunned silence as the media reported a thwarted terrorist attack on a train bound for Paris, an attempt prevented by three courageous young Americans traveling through Europe. Throughout the harrowing ordeal, their friendship never wavers, making it their greatest weapon and allowing them to save the lives of the more than 500 passengers on board.

BUZZ Clint Eastwood has continued to make vital, important

films and this, his 36th feature film at 87 years old, is no different. Eastwood took the fascinating decision to cast the three main heroes with the actual people involved to give the film a sense of realism that actors couldn’t. This is as much a tale about friendship as it is about bravery.

SYNOPSIS Set in the glamour of 1950’s post-war London,

renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock and his sister Cyril are at the centre of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutants and dames with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma, who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love.

BUZZ A new film from Paul Thomas Anderson is always a

cinematic event. The acclaimed director has previously made THERE WILL BE BLOOD and THE MASTER. This has the added prestige of being the last film of Daniel Day Lewis. He has announced his retirement and intends to move into the world of fashion which he discovered whilst researching his role in PHANTOM THREAD.

SPOTLIGHT So, this is to be the last film for Daniel Day Lewis.

He is already Golden Globe nominated and an Oscar nomination is expected. He has taken extended breaks before, even becoming an apprentice shoemaker in the 90’s. But this retirement is permanent… for now.

judgmental snob discovers her husband has been having an affair with her best friend and is forced into exile with her bohemian sister who lives on an impoverished inner-city council estate. She reluctantly gets dragged to a community dance class where she starts to find her way through life and maybe... romance.

BUZZ A charming British comedy with a really great cast.

Imelda Staunton is becoming as iconic a British actor as Judi Dench or Maggie Smith - she was fantastic in National Theatre’s FOLLIES last year. Putting a hugely positive spin on retirement and a new lease of life.

DIRECTOR Guilermo Del Toro | STARRING Sally Hawkins, Richard Jenkins, Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon SPECIFICATION (15), USA 2017. 123 Mins

SYNOPSIS An other-worldly fairy tale, set against the

backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1962. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa is trapped in a life of isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda discover a secret classified experiment.

BUZZ Sally Hawkins wordless performance as the cleaner

who forms a relationship with a strange creature is generating Oscar talk and both Richard Jenkins and Octavia Spencer provide amazing support. The cold war setting is beautifully realised with outstanding set design and photography. All of Guillermo del Toro’s influences come to fruition in this perfect culmination of his directorial style.

MILAN

Digital Marketing Officer The Shape of Water looks like a beautifully captivating film, which will immerse all your senses. It is about a muted woman, Elisa, falling in love with a mysterious, scaled creature that lives in a water tank. This strange fairytale seems to balance the monstrous element with a touch of realism, which is done through the universal connecting factor, love.

of the world who heads into the ring for one last fight to preserve his legacy in the sport, but after suffering a serious head injury he then faces a bigger personal battle. Trying to get back to physical fitness, there is also the impact the injury has on his marriage, his friendships and his family.

BUZZ An emotional study of the impact of sports injuries, not

only on the individual but those around them as well. Paddy Considine proves an assured director letting the excellent performances do the work over showy camera work and effects. There are moments of sadness, happiness and fear as you realise what people are capable of. Not just a great boxing movie, but a great movie overall.

SPOTLIGHT After a decade of being one of the UK’s most dependable actors, Paddy Considine has turned his hand to directing, following up on his excellent directorial debut TYRANNOSAUR. His style shows grace and a deep understanding for his characters. We can’t wait for his next film.
