Dauntless: The Battle of Midway is out on Blu-ray from 21st October. 

And to celebrate we have a great competition for you and 2 copies on Blu-ray to give away.

Synopsis
June 1942, and the Japanese Navy has swept across the Pacific. In an effort to change the course of the war, a United States carrier group is positioned off the coast of Midway, tasked with springing a trap on the enemy. During this pivotal battle, the two-man crew of a U.S. Navy dive bomber is forced to ditch in the sea.

Set adrift, the men look towards their comrades for rescue; namely, the ragtag crew of a PBY Catalina, who are sent to search for survivors. Amid the vast openness of the Pacific, with days passing and the chance of rescue fading, the men are forced to face their own mortality.

Based on a true story from World War II, Dauntless: The Battle of Midway stars Judd Nelson (TV’s Empire, New Jack City) and C. Thomas Howell (TV’s SEAL Team, The Punisher) and is a tense, exhilarating story with stunning action sequences.

3 From Hell - Trailer


Sequel to the Devil's Rejects which brings back Baby Firefly (Sheri Moon Zombie), Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), and Otis Firefly (Bill Moseley).

Directed by Rob Zombie.

'3 From Hell' is a three night Fathom Event which is in theaters September 16, 17, and 18, 2019.

ITV announces details for new factual drama White House Farm


ITV’s six part factual drama, White House Farm, produced by New Pictures revolves around one fateful night in August 1985 when five members of the same family were murdered at an Essex farmhouse;  Sheila Caffell, her twin six-year-old sons, Daniel and Nicholas, and her parents, Nevill and June Bamber.

The series will seek to provide fresh insight into this family tragedy and the contested accounts of the events that took place at White House Farm. Based on extensive research, interviews and published accounts including, ‘The Murders at White House Farm’ by Carol Ann Lee with additional material from ‘In Search of The Rainbow’s End’ by Colin Caffell, husband of Sheila and father to Daniel and Nicholas Caffell.

Essex Police initially believed that Sheila, who had mental health problems, had murdered her own family before turning the gun on herself. But Detective Sergeant Stan Jones had doubts about the murder-suicide theory, and about Sheila’s brother Jeremy Bamber, who first called the police to the farm. Eventually it was Jeremy Bamber who was charged and convicted of the murders of his own parents, sister and nephews. Bamber is currently serving life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. He is one of the few prisoners in the UK subject to a whole-life order. Bamber still maintains his innocence.

Freddie Fox takes the role of Jeremy Bamber with Mark Addy as DS Stan Jones and Stephen Graham as DCI ‘Taff’ Jones. Gemma Whelan, Mark Stanley, Alexa Davies, Cressida Bonas, Alfie Allen, Amanda Burton and Nicholas Farrell also take roles in the drama.

White House Farm will air on ITV in early 2020.

BBC Four acquires Norwegian drama Wisting


BBC Four has acquired ten-part Norwegian crime drama Wisting from Banijay Rights.
The drama, which stars Sven Nordin and Carrie-Anne Moss, is based on the best-selling books The Caveman and The Hunting Dogs by writer Jørn Lier Horst. Set in the unique and stunning landscape of Norway, this series follows homicide detective William Wisting as he wrestles with the most challenging and shocking case of his career: a wanted American serial killer preying amongst them.

Hollywood actress Carrie-Anne Moss, known for her roles in the Matrix and more recently Marvel’s Jessica Jones, plays FBI Agent Maggie Griffin alongside British actor Richie Campbell (Anuvahood, The Frankenstein Chronicles) who plays Special Agent John Bantham. The pair are brought in to help Wisting and his team apprehend the infamous killer who has eluded capture for years. Leading Norwegian theatre and film actor Sven Nordin (Valkyrien) stars as Detective William Wisting.

Meanwhile, Line - Wisting’s intrepid journalist daughter - is chasing headlines, leading her straight into the path of the serial killer.

Suddenly, an old case comes back to haunt Wisting, and a dreadful accusation is hurled at him. How will Wisting save other lives when he finds himself suspended and fighting for his own reputation, career and life?

Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, says: 
"Wisting has already been a tremendous success in Norway, and we have no doubt that BBC viewers will be equally engaged by such a likeable, emotionally complex lead character, and a compelling plot full of twists and turns."

Chris Stewart, Commercial Director, Scripted, comments,
“Wisting is a multi-layered drama, that is sure to keep BBC audiences in suspense throughout. It’s a classic cat-and-mouse thriller interwoven with some scintillating character performances from a stellar cast. I’m sure the UK audience will embrace this fantastic screen adaptation with equal enthusiasm."

BBC Radio 2 reveals the official biggest studio albums of the 21st century for National Album Day


To mark National Album Day on Saturday 12 October, Paul Gambaccini will present a very special Pick Of The Pops, from 1pm-3pm on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, counting down the 40 biggest studio albums of the millennium so far.

The chart, compiled by the Official Charts Company, is based on the number of physical sales as well as digital downloads and streams since the 1st January 2000.

Adele’s 2011 album 21 is Number One in the chart, with her 2015 album 25 coming in at Number Three, and a total of three albums ranking within the Top 40 most popular records of the 21st century.

Ed Sheeran also has two albums, x and ÷, in the Top 10. James Blunt, Michael Bublé, Dido, David Gray, Leona Lewis, and Amy Winehouse all feature in the Top 10, which is 50% male/female.

Over 70% of artists featured in the Top 40 and all artists in the Top Five are British.

Jeff Smith, Head of Music, Radio 2 and 6 Music says: “We are delighted to reveal the nation’s 40 favourite albums of the millennium here on Radio 2 for National Album Day 2019 and it’s heartening to see so many British artists in the chart, proving that home-grown music is still as popular as ever. ”

Speaking before the show, Paul said: "Here comes your running total of the top forty biggest albums of the 21st century so far! Even with streams factored in to what is called equivalent sales, the first decade of the century has outperformed the second by 28 albums to 11. The remaining album is a hangover from the 1990s. What is it? We'll find out together on our Pick Of The Pops special on the 12 October. And, of course, we'll find out which artist has two of the top three and who has the most entries in the top forty. This is the kind of suspense I like!"

From directors Joe Bland and Grant Martin comes a visionary new sci-fi thriller that will proves everything we know about the weather is… wrong. Josiah Authier and Grant Martin star in Ellipse, an exhilarating new science-fiction survival jaunt on DVD and Digital November 5.

When a man has lost everything, it’s easy to self-destruct.

Because of his self-destructive coping methods, a simple fly-by soon turns into an emergency crash landing… leaving a man and his dog in dire straits.

Dogwoof releases UK trailer and poster for The Amazing Johnathan Documentary


Benjamin Berman’s acclaimed feature directorial debut starts as the story of The Amazing Johnathan, an extraordinary magician who built a career out of shock and deception in the 1980s, which transforms into a bizarre story about the unravelling of the documentarian.

After Johnathan is diagnosed with a terminal heart condition and given one year to live, he’s forced to retire his act. Cut to three years later: Johnathan is not dead, much to everyone’s amazement, and documentarian Ben Berman films the illusionist on an epic comeback tour. But as their mutual journey kicks off, Johnathan drops a bombshell that sends the film spiraling into uncertainty. Embracing this unforeseen obstacle, Ben delves deeper to determine what is truth and what is illusion. Built into the heart of this quick-witted and highly Meta story is an indelible commentary on the process and ethics of making a documentary today. Issues of negotiation and access become the central threads that reveal, and further cloud, our understanding of this elusive protagonist.
