The Establishing Shot: LAST NIGHT DVD & BLU-RAY RELEASE 17 OCTOBER

Set in New York City, Last Night is a tightly woven tale exploring the psyches of four people over one life defining evening, beginning with a married couple that while apart for one night, is confronted by temptation that may decide the fate of their marriage. Joanna (Keira Knightley, Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) and Michael Reed (Sam Worthington, Avatar, Terminator: Salvation) are 7 years into a successful and happy relationship. They are moving along in their lives together until Joanna meets Laura (Eva Mendes, Hitch, Bad Lieutenant), the stunningly beautiful work colleague whom Michael never mentioned.

While Michael is away with Laura on a business trip, Joanna runs into an old but never quite forgotten love, Alex (Guillaume Canet, Tell No One, The Beach) and agrees to have drinks with him. As the night progresses and temptation increases for the couple, each must confront who they are inside and outside of their relationship. Last Night is ultimately a film about choices - the choice you make to be with someone, to give yourself physically and emotionally, and how to survive all three. Last Night is the directorial debut of Iranian-American writer Massy Tadjedin (The Jacket, Leo)

The Establishing Shot: PVIPE MUSIC SIGNS WITH INGROOVES/UNIVERSAL AND BRINGS 2PAC'S ROAD DOG ALONG FOR THE RIDE

PVIPE Music, a division of The PVIPE Group, has signed a digital distribution pact with INgrooves/Universal Music that will strengthen the company's hand in gaining widespread exposure for its artists to the huge consumer base in cyberspace.
David Marshall Pryce, CEO of The PVIPE Group, Phoenix VIP Events and PVIPE Music, says, "The bottom line is that INgrooves/Universal wants to do business with people like us. People who are marketing and promoting records with sweat equity, industry know-how and an extensive network on the promotion side of the business."

PVIPE Music's artists are diversified to include: HipHop, rap/R&B, country/rock, pop/alternative and Christian rock, just to name a few. First out in a few weeks is Big Syke, a rapper who recorded with 2Pac on his multi-platinum album All Eyez on Me and other projects.

"My deal with PVIPE allows me to be in control of my own destiny," Big Syke says. "PVIPE Music is not like any other label that I've dealt with. The way my deal is structured I can do just about anything I want to do."

Darrell Thompson, a veteran entertainment lawyer with professional ties to major artists including Jay-Z, the Black Eyed Peas, Teddy Riley, and most recently, Tyrese, negotiates the deals.

"There are no more borders in the music business," Thompson said, echoing PVIPE's strategy. "The technology that has transformed the industry has seen to that. Going to London, Africa, Japan or the Caribbean in search of product and business is not a stumbling block, provided you can bring that cultural sensibility to a mass market. How PVIPE brings that to the table is through David's marketing experience. He is very, very good at what he does."

In celebration of all of these pacts, PVIPE Music, along with Black Radio Exclusive (BRE) Magazine (Pryce and his wife are on the cover of the September issue) and Episential Skin Care (another of Pryce's companies), will hold a party in Hollywood later this month.

The Establishing Shot: MIMIC -SPECIAL EDITION OUT ON BLU-RAY 31 OCTOBER

Science fiction and horror combine in time for Halloween as MIMIC: SPECIAL EDITION, from superstar director Guillermo Del Toro, is released on Blu-ray for the first time on 31 October, 2011, courtesy of Studiocanal.

Originally released in 1997, this effectively creepy sci-fi horror was Del Toro’s first foray into American cinema and provided English-speaking audiences with an early glimpse of the genius that was to follow in modern classics as diverse as Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy and Blade II. This brand new version, re-cut by Guillermo Del Toro himself, is a revelation!

Cockroaches are spreading a deadly disease around Manhattan, claiming the lives of the city’s children. Entomologist Susan Tyler (Mira Sorvino - Mighty Aphrodite, Reservation Road) and her husband Peter Mann (Jeremy Northam – Enigma, Gosford Park) use genetic engineering to create the Judas Breed to kill off the deadly cockroaches. However, this deadly strain of insect evolves over time, growing as big as people and learning to mimic their movements. The perfect killer is born and humanity is its hunting ground...

A success in its own right, MIMIC: SPECIAL EDITION nevertheless transforms Del Toro’s original into a new feature, much closer to his original vision. What’s more, packed with brand new extra features, MIMIC: SPECIAL EDITION is a genuine gift to horror and Del Toro fans this Halloween.

Release Date: 31 October, 2011

Mimic
Three years ago entomologist Dr. Susan Tyler genetically created an insect to kill cockroaches carrying a virulent disease, now the insects are out to destroy their only predator, mankind!

Director: Guillermo del Toro
Writers: Donald A. Wollheim (short story "Mimic"), Matthew Robbins (screen story)
Stars: Mira Sorvino, Jeremy Northam and Alexander Goodwin

Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman star in The Change-Up, from director David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers), writers Jon Lucas & Scott Moore (The Hangover) and producer Neal Moritz (Fast & Furious, Click). The R-rated comedy takes the traditional body-switching movie, ties it up tightly and throws it off a cliff.

Growing up together, Mitch (Reynolds) and Dave (Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they’ve slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch’s stress free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true.

Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave’s worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other’s bodies and proceed to freak the &*#@ out.

Despite the freedom from their normal routines and habits, the guys soon discover that each other’s lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed. Further complicating matters are Dave’s sexy legal associate, Sabrina (Olivia Wilde), and Mitch’s estranged father (Alan Arkin).

The Establishing Shot: THE FUTURE TRAILER

Sophie and Jason are strange the way all couples are strange when they’re alone. They live in a small LA apartment, have jobs they hate, and in one month they’ll adopt a stray cat named Paw Paw. Like a newborn baby, he’ll need around-the-clock care – he may die in six months, or it may take five years.

Despite their good intentions, Sophie and Jason are terrified of their looming loss of freedom. So with just one month left, they quit their jobs, and the Internet, to pursue their dreams – Sophie wants to create a dance, Jason wants simply to be guided by fate. But as the month slips away, Sophie becomes increasingly, humiliatingly paralyzed. In a moment of desperation, she calls a stranger, Marshall – a square, fifty-year-old man who lives in the Valley. In his suburban world she doesn’t have to be herself; as long as she stays there, she’ll never have to try (and fail) again.
Living in two terrifyingly vacant and different realities, Sophie and Jason must reunite with time, space and their own souls in order to come home.

Release Date: 4 November, 2011

The Establishing Shot: TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SMASHES BOX OFFICE!

TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SMASH!

STUDIOCANAL spies bright new era with company's biggest ever UK & Ireland opening weekend and number one bow for TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY

The newly re-branded UK arm of European powerhouse STUDIOCANAL stormed out of the blocks this weekend as TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, the first film to carry the company's new banner, debuted at number one at the UK and Irish Box Office, becoming the third biggest 3 day September opening on record.

The picture, a Working Title production, fully financed by STUDIOCANAL, delivered the latter's biggest ever three day UK & Ireland opening figure with £2.805m from 382 sites for a per screen average in excess of £7200 and crowned a mighty year for the company becoming its second number one movie of the past 12 months (after UNKNOWN) with box office takings in 2011 already making it the biggest in its 11 year history.

Speaking on Monday STUDIOCANAL UK Chief Executive Danny Perkins commented "We're delighted to be able to celebrate such a terrific launch for both TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY and the new STUDIOCANAL brand in the UK. These outstanding opening weekend figures are testament to the quality of the film that our friends at Working Title have delivered, the tireless support and availability of this excellent cast and director and to the hard work, creativity, skill and passion that the STUDIOCANAL team have poured into a film that we are immensely proud to release."

Working Title co-chairman Tim Bevan said “This is a fantastic result and all of the film makers are extremely grateful to STUDIOCANAL for doing a great job. Films like this are very difficult to get made and when they connect with the audience like this the success is all the sweeter”

Olivier Courson, Chairman and CEO of STUDIOCANAL commented "I am thrilled that Tinker Tailor has received such a great reception from cinemagoers and reviewers this weekend. At STUDIOCANAL, we are all very proud to have been a part of this film which has brought together the best of European cinema from producers, director, literature, cast and crew.”

Sales of the John le Carre book also saw a significant increase following the film's UK film premiere (Tuesday) which publishers expect to result in a high bestseller list placing when figures are announced this week.

Speaking about the movie in an earlier statement le Carre had said "The film, through my very personal prism, is a triumph. And if people write to me and say, ‘How could you let this happen to poor Alec Guinness,’ I shall reply that, if ‘poor Alec’ had witnessed Oldman’s performance, he would have been the first to give it a standing ovation.

It’s not the film of the book. It’s the film of the film, and to my eye a work of art in its own right. I’m very proud to have provided Alfredson with the material, but what he made of it is wonderfully his own."

The spy thriller features a stellar cast including Gary Oldman, Kathy Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Konstantin Khabensky, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Roger Lloyd Pack, and Mark Strong. Directed by Tomas Alfredson, it is a Working Title production for STUDIOCANAL.

Set in the 1970s, TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY finds George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a recently retired MI6 agent, doing his best to adjust to a life outside the secret service. However, when a disgraced agent reappears with information concerning a mole at the heart of the Circus, Smiley is drawn back into the murky field of espionage. Tasked with investigating which of his trusted former colleagues has chosen to betray him and their country, Smiley narrows his search to four suspects - all experienced, urbane, successful agents - but past histories, rivalries and friendships make it far from easy to pinpoint the man who is eating away at the heart of the British establishment.

The screenplay is by Peter Straughan and Bridget O’Connor and the film, which was shot in London, Budapest and Istanbul is produced by Working Title’s co-chairmen Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner and Robyn Slovo. The executive producers are Debra Hayward, Liza Chasin, Douglas Urbanski, Peter Morgan, Olivier Courson, Ron Halpern and John le Carré.
