"From director F. Gary Gray and writer Kurt Wimmer, this tense, brutal and thought-provoking thriller has shades of The Usual Suspects and Se7en. Also starring are Colm Meany, Bruce McGill, Leslie Bibb and Michael Irby.
HOW DO YOU STOP A KILLER WHO IS ALREADY BEHIND BARS? Clyde Shelton (Butler) is a family man whose wife and daughter were brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice (Foxx) a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor is assigned to the case. Against his will, Rice is forced to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice.
Fast forward ten years…The man who got away with murder is found dead and Shelton coolly admits his guilt. He then issues a warning to Rice: either fix the justice system, or key players in the trial will die.

On March 29th Lionsgate will release The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus:
"One of the most imaginative releases of recent years, this film marks the last appearance of Heath Ledger and was directed by veteran visionary Terry Gilliam. Sumptuous and colourful, this complex movie has an A-list cast – also starring Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell, Lily Cole, Verne Troyer, Tom Waits and Christopher Plummer as Dr Parnassus.
The immortal Dr Parnassus (Plummer) holds the key to the Imaginarium, a wonderful place hidden in a ‘pop up’ travelling theatre, where people can explore the very depths of their imagination. But the Doctor has more hidden depths than his friends in the theatre troupe are aware of and his immortality has come at a price – the soul of his daughter Valentina (Cole). Unless Parnassus (Plummer) and Tony, the mysterious amnesiac whom he befriends (portrayed by Ledger plus Depp, Farrell and Law) can coax a few more souls to lose themselves in the Imaginarium, Valentina will become the prize in a deal that Parnassus has made with the Devil himself, Mr Nick.
