A gripping thriller inspired by the true events of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris, the film depicts the most daring rescue mission ever attempted.
Narcos and Elite Squad helmer José Padilha’s newest taut political thrilller is officially taking the market stage after wrapping principal photography in the U.K. and in Malta. Tentatively named the Untitled Entebbe Project for Participant Media and Working Title Films, Lionsgate is presenting the film to sell to non-output territories at the European Film Market this week in Berlin as one of two titles on its slate with the other being alien invasion sci-fi, Captive State, as of last month.
Academy Award® nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Golden Globe Award nominee Daniel Brühl (Captain America: Civil War) star in the film from a screenplay by Gregory Burke, bringing to focus the longstanding conflict between Israel and Palestine through the story of a daring military rescue following the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris. Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes), Ben Schnetzer (Snowden), Lior Ashkenazi (Footnote), and Denis Ménochet (Inglourious Basterds) round out the film’s international cast.
Participant Media who financed through Amblin Partners, produced the film with Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, and producers Kate Solomon, Michelle Wright and Ron Halpern. Participant’s Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King are executive producing with Olivier Courson, Jean-Claude Darmon, Angela Morrison, Liza Chasin, and Jo Burn.
Focus Features will release the film in North America while eOne slates the film for releases United Kingdom, Australia/New Zealand, Spain and throughout the Benelux union.
HBO’s Game Of Thrones is one of those shows I usually end up having to watch in pieces, particularly because there simply aren’t enough hours of the day for me to enjoy much of anything. Thankfully however, I did get to enjoy the most recent episode featuring actor Pedro Pascal in last week’s episode (and I will not say what I saw, but if you saw it too, know that I felt your pain).
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years – and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.
Director Josè Padilha‘s newest film, Robocop, is set to release in North America on February 12, 2014. Promotion is underway for the new film with sets of viral ads and posters, including the international poster you can see on the left for the film’s Chinese release.
Today, IGN has unveiled the first fill clip of the film, which sees lead actor Joel Kinnaman donning the all-black suit as the eponymous half-man/half-machine crime fighter. The suit’s change in color was among one of the things mentioned in a recent interview with production designer Martin Whist published at Comic Book, in discussing what drew his inspiration for the film’s look in relation to the aerodynamics of costume, and much more. “…There are two RoboCop designs in our film.” he says. “The first is very much an homage in color and in design to the first film. I wanted to keep the hash marks on the shoulders and breastplate. The way the original suit was painted was groundbreaking at the time, how, in different lights, different hues of magenta and steel blue come out. The second was the black one, where we were making it a little more current, bringing it into the current visual vernacular of our world, thinking of the design of the original Alien and stealth bombers…”.
Adapted for the screen by writer Joshua Zetumer for a 2D and IMAX release, Robocop stars Kinnaman along with Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jay Baruchel, Jennifer Ehle and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. The film is produced by Marc Abraham and Eric Newman, and executive produced by Bill Carraro and Roger Birnbaum.
