Red 2 trailer
We are super pumped up about Red 2. If you thought that the original Red was wild, just check out the trailer for Red 2 - this sequel is going to be twice as amazing and twice as... explosive! So, here's a short synopsis of what you can expect:
In Red 2, the high-octane action-comedy sequel to the worldwide sleeper hit, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives - including former colleague Marvin (John Malkovich), ever-deadly sharp-shooter Victoria (Helen Mirren) and Frank's beloved Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) - for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device.
To succeed, they'll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the next-generation weapon. It's a mission that takes them to Paris, London and Moscow, where they cross paths with Frank's seductive former flame Katja (Catherine Zeta-Jones), as well as Bailey (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant scientist from Frank's past. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world-and stay alive in the process. Australian release announcement coming soon.

Sport, Sex and Speed
Rush
Based on the true story of a great sporting rivalry between handsome English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth), and his methodical, brilliant opponent Niki Lauda, (Daniel Bruhl). Rush follows their polar opposite personal styles on and off the track, their loves and the risks they took to become world's best Formula 1 drivers. Two time Academy Award winning director Ron Howard, teams up with writer Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen) two time Academy Award nominee (could this be his third?) and brings us one of the best, fast paced, action packed and exhilarating true stories the world of sport has ever witnessed. It's James Hunt vs. Nikki Lauda! It's McLaren versus Ferrari!
Privileged, charismatic and handsome English playboy, James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) could not be more different from his reserved and methodical opponent, Austrian born Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl). They competed viciously against each other until Lauda's superior business acumen and surgeon like precision behind the wheel propelled him all the way to Formula 1; eventually landing him the number one spot at Ferrari. However it was not long before unruly golden boy James Hunt fought his way into Formula 1, and into the hearts of a nation. Polar opposites pitted against each other in the most dangerous sport in the world, Hunt and Lauda were pushed to the breaking point of their physical and psychological endurance.
