Elizabeth The Golden Age

Woman Warrior Queen

Reprising the roles they originated in seven-time Academy Award®-nominated "Elizabeth," Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush return for a gripping historical thriller laced with treachery and romance--"The Golden Age." Joining them in the epic is Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh, a dashing seafarer and newfound temptation for Elizabeth.

"The Golden Age" finds Queen Elizabeth I (Oscar®-winner Cate Blanchett) facing bloodlust for her throne and familial betrayal. Growing keenly aware of the changing religious and political tides of late 16th century Europe, Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by the Spanish King Philip II (Jordi Molla)--with his powerful army and sea-dominating armada--determined to restore England to Catholicism.

Preparing to go to war to defend her empire, Elizabeth struggles to balance ancient royal duties with an unexpected vulnerability in her love for Raleigh. But he remains forbidden for a queen who has sworn body and soul to her country. Unable and unwilling to pursue her love, Elizabeth encourages her favorite lady-in-waiting, Bess (Abbie Cornish), to befriend Raleigh to keep him near. But this strategy forces Elizabeth to observe their growing intimacy.

As she charts her course abroad, her trusted advisor, Sir Francis Walsingham (Academy Award® winner Geoffrey Rush), continues his masterful puppetry of Elizabeth's court at home--and her campaign to solidify absolute power. Through an intricate spy network, Walsingham uncovers an assassination plot that could topple the throne. But as he unmasks traitors that may include Elizabeth's own cousin Mary Stuart (Samantha Morton), he unknowingly sets England up for destruction.

"The Golden Age" tells the thrilling tale of an era ... the story of one woman's crusade to control love, crush enemies and secure her position as a beloved icon of the western world.

The Final Season

How do you want to be remembered?

In the small town of Norway, Iowa, everyone comes together for high school baseball. But life throws curve balls; and the passionate young players, rookie coach Kent Stock (Sean Astin), and the hometown fans find that life's greatest challenges strike off the diamond. The Final Season is the true story of a coach who inspired his team and brought hope to a town when they needed it most.

Kent Stock (Sean Astin) had some mighty big cleats to fill when he stepped in for Jim Van Scoyoc (Powers Booth), head coach of the Norway Tigers, the most formidable high school baseball team in the history of Iowa. A school with only 100 students in a town of 586 people, the beloved Tigers won 20 State Championships in 26 years and the admiration of the entire town. Claiming that Norway grew ballplayers "like corn," Coach Van Scoyoc picked a winning team of 14 boys year after year, young men who grew up watching their older brothers, family and friends win state titles before them, and like a lucky glove passed down through generations, the coveted championship trophy was now theirs to win.

But in 1991 the Norway School Board decided it was going to merge Norway with a nearby high school in Madison, thereby shutting the school forever and crushing the town's hope of keeping their baseball tradition alive. Turning a deaf ear on the community's cries of protest, town officials refused to renew Coach Van Scoyoc's (Boothe) contract, and hired Kent Stock (Astin), a former girls volleyball coach, to lead the team in their final season.

Suddenly apathy instead of cheers met the Norway Tigers and their coach. Rumor had it that a Tee Ball player had a better chance of hitting a Nolan Ryan fastball than the Norway Tigers had of taking their 20th State Championship. Even the boys on the team had given up, fumbling grounders and dropping flies that they could have once fielded in their sleep.

But the rookie coach wasn't about to let the Tigers or the town give up. Like the champion he expected each one of them to be, Stock challenged the boys with words to live by: "Ask yourself one question," he said. "How do you want to be remembered?" Their collective answer made the Tigers start acting like the accomplished ballplayers they knew how to be. And as the team rallied, so did the town. The players, the coach and all of Norway began to believe that the Tigers had one more victory in them before the school closed forever. How did the Norway Tigers want to be remembered? As winners!

Based on the true story of one of the greatest dynasties in high school baseball history, The Final Season is about digging deep within to find the courage to triumph against all odds.

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?

...Because no one inspires me more. ...Because we complete each other's sentences. ...Because two are stronger than one. ...Because every moment we share is better than the last.

Following the success of his previous films DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN, MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION and DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS, Tyler Perry returns with his fourth feature film, TYLER PERRY'S WHY DID I GET MARRIED?

A big-screen adaptation of Perry's hit stage play of the same title, TYLER PERRY'S WHY DID I GET MARRIED? is an intimate story about the difficulty of maintaining a solid love relationship in modern times. This heartwarming and often hilarious story looks at four couples on vacation struggling with issues of commitment, betrayal, redemption and the road to forgiveness.

When these eight married college friends reunite for their annual retreat in the snowcapped mountains of Colorado, they come expecting fun and relaxation, but get a completely unexpected surprise. Career-drive Dianne (SHARON LEAL) and her supportive, but fed-up husband, Terry (TYLER PERRY), are joined by popular psychologist and best-selling author Patricia (JANET JACKSON) and her architect husband Gavin, (MALIK YOBA), who share a secret tragedy that finally comes to light, while Angela (TASHA SMITH) and Marcus (MICHAEL JAI WHITE) argue constantly, but remain in love. Also in attendance is their good friend Sheila, (JILL SCOTT) a sweet woman with a distorted self-image stemming from weight issues that are exacerbated by her emotionally abusive and philandering husband, Mike (RICHARD T. JONES).

Unlike any other year, this trip changes the dynamic of the group with two new additions: Sheila's supposed girlfriend, Trina (DENISE BOUTTE), who is secretly sleeping with her husband; and Troy (LAMMAN RUCKER), an ex-Wall Street stockbroker who has put his career on hold to care for an ailing father.

Nothing could create more drama then placing these ten people in a secluded cabin for a long weekend with all of the dirty laundry waiting to come out. Everybody's asking 'WHY DID I GET MARRIED?'

We own the night

Two brothers on opposite sides of the law. Beyond their differences lies loyalty.

Bobby Green (Joaquin Phoenix) has turned his back on the family business. The popular manager of El Caribe, the legendary Russian-owned nightclub in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach, he has changed his last name and concealed his connection to a long line of distinguished New York cops. For Bobby, every night is a party, as he greets friends and customers or dances with his beautiful Puerto Rican girlfriend, Amada (Eva Mendes), in a haze of cigarette smoke and disco music.

But it's 1988, and New York City's drug trade is escalating. Bobby tries to keep a friendly distance from the Russian gangster who is operating out of the nightclub - a gangster who is being targeted by his brother, Joseph (Mark Wahlberg), an up-and-coming NYPD officer, and his father, Burt (Robert Duvall), the legendary deputy chief of police.

Columbia Pictures' and 2929 Productions' "We Own the Night," an emotional crime thriller about a man who has chosen to hide his past only to discover that he has to confront an inevitable future, takes its title from the motto of the 1980s-era NYPD street crimes unit. Written and directed by James Gray ("The Yards," "Little Odessa").
