Eddie The Eagle
Release date: 1st April 2016, previews 28th - 31st March 2016
Running time: 106 Minutes
Kingsman's Taron Egerton plays a plucky British ski jumper in this heartfelt underdog story.
The year is 1988. The Winter Olympics is underway in Calgary and competing in the fearsome ski jump is sportsman Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards (Taron Egerton), the first British person ever to do so. With his glasses and lack of sporting finesse, Eddie is seemingly not cut out for the challenge but nevertheless showcases a determination to succeed. In fact, this irrepressible underdog spirit is set to transform him into the most unlikely of British sports stars. Based on the true story of the real-life ski jumper Eddie the Eagle, a man whose catalogue of failures turned him into an overnight news sensation, this is an endearing movie about triumphing against impossible odds.
Directed by Dexter Fletcher, responsible for critically acclaimed, homegrown hits Wild Bill and Sunshine on Leith, the film co-stars X-Men megastar Hugh Jackman as Eddie's no-nonsense trainer Bronson Peary.

However, Mowgli's life is threatened by ferocious, man-eating tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba). With the help of jaguar mentor Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) and loyal bear Baloo (Bill Murray), Mowgli must discover the strength to embrace his destiny and stand up to the fearsome Khan once and for all.

Tina Fey stars in a hilarious true-life drama about a TV journalist thrown in the deep end as a war reporter.
In 2002, US TV correspondent Kim Barker (Tina Fey) is looking to shake up her staid life a little. So when her network boss asks for volunteers to cover the war in Afghanistan, she quickly volunteers. Trouble is, Kim has little idea what she's getting into. Completely inexperienced and unable to speak the language, she struggles with local customs and falls foul of the regional US military commander (Billy Bob Thornton). But she also bonds with a straight-talking English reporter (Margot Robbie), who's one of the few other women in the war zone, and falls for a hunky Scottish journalist (Martin Freeman).
Adapted from the real Kim Barker's memoir The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days In Afghanistan and Pakistan, this rib-tickling fish-out-of-water comedy is directed by duo behind Focus and Crazy, Stupid, Love.
