On June 22nd E1 Entertainment will release Franklyn:
"Produced by Oscar winning producer Jeremy Thomas, the ambitious and highly accomplished debut feature from writer-director Gerald McMorrow, FRANKLYN, is an intelligent and thought-provoking fantasy thriller that invites favourable comparisons to the visionary works of Terry Gilliam, Ridley Scott, Alex Proyas and Richard Kelly.
Depicting an intriguing tale of four souls whose lives span two parallel worlds and are intertwined by fate, romance and tragedy, the film features an impressive cast that includes hot young actors Ryan Phillippe, Eva Green, Sam Riley alongside seasoned veterans Bernard Hill, Susannah York and Art Malik.
Jonathan Preest (Phillippe) is a masked vigilante detective operating within the futuristic, dystopian metropolis of Meanwhile City, a city under totalitarian religious control. His current quest is to seek out his nemesis, The Individual, who Preest holds responsible for the death of a young girl. Meanwhile, in contemporary London, three people are living out their daily lives completely unaware that their destinies link them not only to each other but also to Preest.
Milo (Riley) is a heartbroken twenty-something, recently jilted just before his wedding, who yearns for the purity of first love and believes he may have found it when he reconnects with his childhood sweetheart, Sally (Green). Emilia (also played by Green) is a troubled art student whose latest project dangerously involves documenting her own suicide attempts on video. Peter Esser (Hill) is a man of faith who, in desperation, has travelled from Cambridge to search for his estranged and mentally disturbed son who has gone missing amongst the homeless shelters of central London. As the lines between their respective worlds begin to blur, Preest, Milo, Emilia and Esser each receive a glimpse at the inner workings of fate and its ability to transcend and affect vastly different environments and existences."

With a strained relationship with the rest of his family and resentful of virtually everything he sees in the neighbourhood, Walt does his best to keep to himself, until one night he catches Thao (Bee Vang), the teenage son of the Hmong family who live next door trying to steal his prized possession - a mint condition 1972 Grand Torino. Unbeknown to Walt, Thao has been forced into the crime by the violent gang that infest the neighbourhood and when Walt stands in the way of their attempted heist he unwittingly becomes the reluctant hero of the neighbourhood, especially to Thao’s mother and older sister, Sue (Ahney Her), who insist that Thao work for Walt as a means of making amends for his actions.
Drawn against his will into a closer relationship with Thao's family, Walt soon takes on a new understanding of the Hmong people, and a mutual respect develops into an unlikely friendship.

On June 29th Optimum Home Entertainment will release Che Part 1 and Part 2 as a boxset featuring both parts or as individual releases:
"On November 26, 1956, Fidel Castro sails to Cuba with eighty rebels. One of those rebels is Ernesto “Che” Guevara, an Argentine doctor who shares a common goal with Fidel Castro - to overthrow the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che proves indispensable as a fighter, and quickly grasps the art of guerrilla warfare. As he throws himself into the struggle, Che is embraced by his comrades and the Cuban people. Partly based on his own memoirs (Reminisces Of The Cuban Revolutionary War), Che Part 1 tracks his rise in the Cuban Revolution, from doctor to commander to revolutionary hero.
Che Guevara was a man of extreme integrity who believed that life should be motivated by moral incentive as appose to material gain. It was a belief that made him instrumental in the 1959 Cuban uprising and the historic siege on Batista’s regime. It was also a belief that would lead him into the relentless, savage terrain of the Bolivian jungle and towards his tragic demise. Che Part 2 is a poignant and masterful portrayal of a complex icon that constantly challenged himself and the world around him."

"A decade has passed since John Connor (Nick Stahl) helped prevent Judgment Day and save mankind from mass destruction. Now 22, Connor lives "off the grid" - no home, no credit cards, no cell phone and no job. No record of his existence. No way he can be traced by Skynet - the highly developed network of machines that once tried to kill him and wage war on humanity. Until... ...out of the shadows of the future steps the T-X (Kristanna Loken), Skynet's most sophisticated cyborg killing machine yet. Sent back through time to complete the job left unfinished by her predecessor, the T-1000, this machine is as relentless as her human guise is beautiful. Now Connor's only hope for survival is The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), his mysterious former assassin. Together, they must triumph over the technologically superior T-X and forestall the looming threat of Judgment Day...or face the apocalypse and the fall of civilization as we know it."

On June 1st Film4 will release Trainspotting - Ultimate Collector's Edition:
"Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), a young man with few prospects and fewer ambitions, lives in economically depressed Edinburgh. Like most of his friends, Renton is a heroin addict who loves the drug's blissful nothingness; financing his habit also provides excitement and challenges that his life otherwise lacks. Renton's two best friends are also junkies: Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), a snappy dresser obsessed with James Bond, and Spud (Ewan Bremner), a guileless nerd who suggests Pee Wee Herman's debauched cousin. Renton and his pals also hang out with Begbie (Robert Carlyle), a borderline psychotic who loathes junkies even though he drinks like a fish. After one too many brushes with the law, Renton kicks heroin and moves to London, where he finds a job, a flat, and something close to peace of mind. However, Sick Boy, Begbie, and Spud all arrive at his doorstep on the trail of a big score, leading Renton back into drugs and crime."

On June 1st Film4 will release Shallow Grave - Special Edition:
"The feature film debut of Scottish director Danny Boyle was a dark, hip, Generation X comedy about a trio of Edinburgh roommates whose narcissistic greed fuels murder and betrayal. Boisterous journalist Alex (Ewan McGregor), flirtatious doctor Juliet (Kerry Fox), and meek accountant David (Christopher Eccleston) possess very different personalities, but the roommates are bonded in mutual, self-absorbed cynicism. Seeking a fourth boarder to share the rent for their stylish flat, they cruelly dismiss several candidates before settling on Hugo (Keith Allen), whose air of detachment meets the roommates' standard of coolness. Hugo's reserve masks criminal involvement, however, as the roommates discover when they find him dead in bed from a drug overdose, with a valise containing enormous amounts of cash. Their nascent greed overwhelms them, and the trio dismembers and buries Hugo, stealing his money. Only David, who understands finance, seems to realize that someone's eventually going to seek out such a large sum. As both drug dealers and police get closer to figuring out the friends' secret, shy, nerdy David becomes violently paranoid, while Juliet's allegiance switches back and forth between her roommates."

'Digging Your Own Grave' documentary directed by Kevin Macdonald

On June 15th Entertainment In Video will release He’s Just Not That Into You:
"Since the age of five, Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) has been told that when men act like jerks, it means they like her. Years later and Gigi just wants a man who says he'll call - and, unlike her latest date, Conor (Kevin Connolly) - actually does. Gigi gets some advice from woman-conquering bar owner, Alex (Justin Long), who prides himself on understanding the ins and outs of the dating scene. While Alex tells Gigi to stop sitting by the phone, Gigi’s co-worker, Beth (Jennifer Aniston), wonders if she should call it off after seven years of committed singlehood with her boyfriend, Neil (Ben Affleck). He however doesn't think there's a single thing wrong with their unmarried life.
Meanwhile, another of Gigi’s colleagues, Janine (Jennifer Connelly), is not sure if she can trust her husband, Ben (Bradley Cooper), who can't quite trust himself around the free-spirited Anna (Scarlett Johansson). Would-be singer Anna can't decide between sexy married Ben, or her straightforward but dull standby, Conor, who in turn can't get over the fact that he can't have her. And Anna’s friend Mary (Drew Barrymore), who's found an entire network of loving, supportive men, just needs to find one who's straight."
