Alita: Battle Angel - From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (Avatar) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City), comes Alita: Battle Angel, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment.

As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Keean Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it is only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past – she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control. If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she’s grown to love.

But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw's sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves.

Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred (Elisabeth Moss) is a Handmaid in the Commander’s household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her. The Twilight Zone - Next stop ahead The Twilight Zone. CBS All Access' upcoming reimagining of the original series, which premiered in 1959, will debut on April 1, 2019. Jordan Peele will serve as host and narrator of the new series, a role made famous by creator Rod Serling, who used socially conscious storytelling to explore the human condition and culture of the times.

Criterion Details April 2019 Blu-ray Titles[teaser]Jackie Chan's Police Story/Police Story 2, Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise, and more are all in the works for Blu-ray.[/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Criterion is preparing Night on Earth, Stranger Than Paradise, Diamonds of the Night, A Face in the Crowd, Police Story/Police Story 2, and My Brilliant Career for Blu-ray throughout the month of April. Night on Earth (April 9) - Five cities. Five taxicabs. A multitude of strangers in the night. Jim Jarmusch assembled an extraordinary international cast of actors (including Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Beatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni) for this quintet of transitory tales of urban displacement and existential angst, all staged as encounters between cabbies and their fares. Spanning time zones, continents, and languages, Night on Earth winds its course through scenes of uproarious comedy, nocturnal poetry, and somber fatalism, set to a moody soundtrack by Tom Waits. Jarmusch’s lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seat makes for one of his most charming and beloved films, a freewheeling showcase for the cosmopolitan range of his imagination. High-definition digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Jim Jarmusch, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray Selected-scene commentary from 2007 featuring director of photography Frederick Elmes and location sound mixer Drew Kunin Q&A with Jarmusch from 2007, in which he responds to questions sent in by fans Belgian television interview with Jarmusch from 1992 PLUS: A booklet featuring essays by authors and critics Thom Andersen, Paul Auster, Bernard Eisenschitz, Goffredo Fofi, and Peter von Bagh, and the lyrics to Tom Waits’s original songs from the film Order the Blu-ray Stranger Than Paradise (April 9) - With this breakout film, Jim Jarmusch established himself as one of the most exciting voices in the burgeoning independent-film scene, a road-movie poet with an affinity for Americana at its most offbeat. Jarmusch follows rootless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie), his pal Eddie (Richard Edson), and his visiting sixteen-year-old cousin Eva (Eszter Balint) as they drift from New York’s Lower East Side to the snowy expanses of Lake Erie and the drab beaches of Florida, always managing to make the least of wherever they end up. Structured as a series of master-shot vignettes etched in black and white by cinematographer Tom DiCillo, Stranger Than Paradise is a nonchalant masterpiece of deadpan comedy and perfectly calibrated minimalism. High-definition digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Jim Jarmusch, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray Permanent Vacation (1980, 75 minutes), Jarmusch’s first full-length feature, presented in a high-definition digital restoration supervised by the director Kino ’84: Jim Jarmusch, a 1984 German television program featuring interviews with cast and crew from Stranger Than Paradise and Permanent Vacation Some Days in January, 1984, a behind-the-scenes Super 8 film by Tom Jarmusch U.S. and Japanese trailers PLUS: A booklet featuring Jarmusch’s 1984 “Some Notes on Stranger Than Paradise,” critics Geoff Andrew and J. Hoberman on Stranger Than Paradise, and author and critic Luc Sante on Permanent Vacation Order the Blu-ray Diamonds of the Night (April 16) - With this simultaneously harrowing and lyrical debut feature, Jan Němec established himself as the most uncompromising visionary among the radical filmmakers who made up the Czechoslovak New Wave. Adapted from a novel by Arnošt Lustig, Diamonds of the Night closely tracks two boys who escape from a concentration-camp transport and flee into the surrounding woods, a hostile terrain where the brute realities of survival coexist with dreams, memories, and fragments of visual poetry. Along with visceral camera work by Jaroslav Kučera and Miroslav Ondříček—two of Czechoslovak cinema’s most influential cinematographers—Němec makes inventive use of fractured editing, elliptical storytelling, and flights of surrealism as he strips context away from this bare-bones tale, evoking the dizzying plight of consciousness lost in night and fog. New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray Interview from 2009 with director Jan Němec A Loaf of Bread, Němec’s 1960 student thesis film, based on a short story by Arnošt Lustig Arnošt Lustig Through the Eyes of Jan Němec, a short documentary on Lustig from 1993 New interview with film programmer Irena Kovarova New video essay on the film’s stylistic influences by scholar James Quandt New English subtitle translation PLUS: An essay by film critic Michael Atkinson Order the Blu-ray A Face in the Crowd (April 23) - A Face in the Crowd chronicles the rise and fall of Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes (Andy Griffith), a boisterous entertainer discovered in an Arkansas drunk tank by Marcia Jeffries (Patricia Neal), a local radio producer with ambitions of her own. His charisma and cunning soon shoot him to the heights of television stardom and political demagoguery, forcing Marcia to grapple with the manipulative, reactionary monster she has created. Directed by Elia Kazan from a screenplay by Budd Schulberg, this incisive satire features an extraordinary debut screen performance by Griffith, who brandishes his charm in an uncharacteristically sinister role. Though the film was a flop on its initial release, subsequent generations have marveled at its eerily prescient diagnosis of the toxic intimacy between media and politics in American life. New, restored 4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray New interview with Ron Briley, author of The Ambivalent Legacy of Elia Kazan New interview with Andy Griffith biographer Evan Dalton Smith Facing the Past, a 2005 documentary featuring actors Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal, and Anthony Franciosa; screenwriter Budd Schulberg; and film scholars Leo Braudy and Jeff Young Trailer PLUS: An essay by critic April Wolfe and a 1957 New York Times Magazine profile of Andy Griffith Order the Blu-ray Police Story/Police Story 2 (April 30) - The jaw-dropping set pieces fly fast and furious in these breathtakingly inventive action comedies, two smash hits that made Jackie Chan a worldwide icon of daredevil spectacle. The director/star/one-man stunt machine plays Ka-Kui, a Hong Kong police inspector whose methods are, ahem, unorthodox; the phenomenal Maggie Cheung, in a star-making role, plays his much-put-upon girlfriend, May. Packed wall-to-wall with astoundingly acrobatic fight choreography, epic explosions, charmingly goofball slapstick, and awesomely 1980s electro soundtracks, Police Story and Police Story 2 set a new standard for rock-’em-sock-’em mayhem that established Chan as a performer of unparalleled grace and daring and would influence a generation of filmmakers, from Hong Kong to Hollywood. New 4K digital restorations of Police Story and Police Story 2 Alternate 5.1 surround and English-dubbed soundtracks for both films Hong Kong–release version of Police Story 2, presented in a high-definition digital transfer for the first time New programs on Chan’s screen persona and action-filmmaking techniques featuring author and New York Asian Film Festival cofounder Grady Hendrix Archival interviews with Chan and actor and stuntman Benny Lai Television program from 1964 detailing the rigors of Peking-opera training, akin to the education that Chan received as a child Chan stunt reel Trailers New English subtitle translations More! PLUS: An essay by critic Nick Pinkerton Order the Blu-ray My Brilliant Career (April 30) - For her award-winning breakthrough film, director Gillian Armstrong drew on teenage author Miles Franklin’s novel, a celebrated turn-of-the-twentieth-century Australian coming-of-age story, to brashly upend the conventions of period romance. Headstrong young Sybylla Melvyn (Judy Davis, in a star-making performance), bemoans her stifling life in the backcountry, where her writerly ambitions receive little encouragement, and craves independence above all else. When a handsome landowner (Sam Neill), disarmed by her unruly charms, begins to court her, Sybylla must decide whether she can reconcile the prospect of marriage with the illustrious life’s work she has imagined for herself. Suffused with generous humor and a youthful appetite for experience, My Brilliant Career is a luminous portrait of an ardently free spirit. New 2K digital restoration, approved by director Gillian Armstrong, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray Audio commentary from 2009 featuring Armstrong New interview with Armstrong Interview from 1980 with actor Judy Davis New interview with production designer Luciana Arrighi Trailer PLUS: An essay by critic Carrie Rickey Order the Blu-ray You can find the latest specs for all of the titles listed above linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where they're indexed throughout April.Posted Thu Jan 24, 2019 at 08:30 AM PST by: -

The Ecto-1 Returns in First Teaser for New Sequel to Original GHOSTBUSTERS[teaser]Something strange is coming to your neighborhood in 2020.[/teaser] As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Jason Reitman (Up in the Air, Juno) has announced plans to direct a new Ghostbusters film. Though plot details have not been revealed yet, the project will be a sequel to the original two films from the 1980s, and is set to hit theaters in 2020. “I’ve always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan, when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans," Reitman told EW. "This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the '80s happened in the '80s, and this is set in the present day." Check out the announcement teaser from EW below! In addition to directing, Jason Reitman is also onboard as co-writer for the currently untitled film along with Gil Kenan (Monster House). Jason Reitman is the son of Ivan Reitman, the director of Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989). Ivan will also serve as a producer on the upcoming movie. This new project will be a sequel to the first two installments and not a reboot like director Paul Feig's Ghostbusters (2016). With that said, casting for the new movie has not been announced and it's not yet clear if Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, or Ernie Hudson will reprise their roles as the original Ghostbusters. Beyond the new live-action Ghostbusters sequel, Sony is also developing an animated entry in the franchise from an entirely different creative team. The animated Ghostbusters movie is set to release sometime after Reitman's film. Source: Entertainment WeeklyPosted Wed Jan 16, 2019 at 10:05 AM PST by: -

Stan Winston's Animatronic T-Rex Attacks in JURASSIC PARK Behind-The-Scenes Clip[teaser]Ever wonder how filmmakers rehearse for a dinosaur attack? Check out this fun behind-the-scenes clip![/teaser] The Stan Winston School of Character Arts has posted a fun behind-the-scenes video showcasing some of the practical animatronic and stunt work done for Steven Spielberg's The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Recorded back in July of 1996 at the Stan Winston Studio, the clip features one of the film's stunt crew members rehearsing the Dr. Burke death scene. Serving as a test victim for the movie's animatronic T-rex, the stunt performer is seen being lifted up and thrashed about by the dinosaur's massive bite -- offering an amusing showcase of the studio's impressive ingenuity. Check out the clip below! As detailed in a related blog post, Stan Wintston's team created two full-size partial-body T-rex puppets for the scene. Unlike the full-body version created for the first film, each rig used in The Lost World only reached from the head to mid-torso, covering just what viewers would need to see in the shot. Meanwhile, scenes that showed the creatures' whole body relied upon CG instead. To provide an enhanced sense of forward and backward motion, the practical T-rexes were then mounted to motor-driven carts, allowing the team to move the heavy rigs across eighty feet of track on the set. And thanks to this freedom of motion, the crew could actually ram the animatronic puppets into the RV featured in the sequence, allowing the dinosaurs to physically smash up the vehicle for real. "I think out of everything on this movie, we had the most fun smashing up the RV with the two T-rexes," said effects supervisor Shane Mahan "At first, we were hesitant, thinking that we had to be careful with the rigs. But it got to the point where we were just, 'Ah, to hell with it,' and we just demolished that trailer with the T-rex rigs. That scene wasn't faked. Those T-rexes were really slamming into that thing, breaking glass and shaking it. I think the scene really works because we went for it like that. You can tell that something truly violent is happening."
