Release Date: June 27, 2007 (Live Free or Die Hard), June 29, 2007 (Ratatouille and Evening)
LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD
Cast: Bruce Willis, Justin Long, Maggie Q, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Timothy Olyphant
Synopsis: An attack on the vulnerable United States computer infrastructure begins to shut down the entire nation. The Mysterious figure behind the shattering scheme has figured out every digital angle - but he never figured on an old-fashioned, 'analog' fly-in-the-ointment: John McClane.
RATATOUILLE
Cast: Janeane Garofalo, Peter O'Toole, Brad Garrett, Ian Holm, Will Arnett
Synopsis: Academy Award®-winning director Brad Bird
('The Incredibles') and the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation
Studios ('Cars,' 'Finding Nemo') take you into an entirely new and
original world where the unthinkable combination of a rat and a
5-star gourmet restaurant come together for the ultimate
fish-out-of-water tale.
In the hilarious new animated-adventure,
RATATOUILLE, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite
his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a
decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city
of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made
famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent
dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris'
most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with
Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing
talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a
hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the
culinary world of Paris upside down.
Remy finds himself torn
between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous
existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and
having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a
chef.
EVENING
Cast: Claire Danes, Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, Natasha Richardson, Toni Collette
Synopsis: Evening unites a stellar cast, and is based on the beloved novel by Susan Minot and adapted for the screen by Ms. Minot and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham ( The Hours), under the direction of Lajos Koltai (Fateless), who was previously an Academy Award-nominated cinematographer. Evening is a deeply emotional film that illuminates the timeless love which binds mother and daughter – seen through the prism of one mother's life as it crests with optimism, navigates a turning point, and ebbs to its close. Two pairs of real-life mothers and daughters – Vanessa Redgrave and Natasha Richardson, and Meryl Streep and Mamie Gummer – portray, respectively, a mother and her daughter and the mother's best friend at different stages in life. Overcome by the power of memory, Ann Lord (Ms. Redgrave) reveals a long-held secret to her concerned daughters; Constance (Ms. Richardson), a content wife and mother, and Nina (Toni Collette), a restless single woman. Both are bedside when Ann calls out for the man she loved more than any other. But who is this 'Harris,' wonder her daughters, and what is he to our mother? While Constance and Nina try to take stock of Ann's life and their own lives, their mother is tended to by a night nurse (Eileen Atkins) as she journeys in her mind back to a summer weekend some fifty years ago, when she was Ann Grant (Claire Danes)… …a young woman who has come from New York City to be maid of honor at the high-society Newport wedding of her dearest friend from college, Lila Wittenborn (Ms. Gummer). The bride-to-be is jittery, and turns to her maid of honor rather than her own mother (Glenn Close) for support. Ann stays close to her friend, yet is even closer to Lila's irrepressible brother Buddy (Hugh Dancy). Unexpected feelings surge forth once Ann meets wedding guest Harris Arden (Patrick Wilson), a lifelong friend and intimate of the Wittenborn family. Ann's love for Harris will change her life, and those of her daughters, forever.
