CloverfieldCloverfield, the
most anticipated
blockbuster of
2008. On DVD
from 9 June...


FROM J.J. ABRAMS, The extraordinary talent that brought us Lost and director Matt Reeves, comes Cloverfield, one of the most terrifying, groundbreaking and critically-acclaimed thrillers to hit the big screen this year.

On the eve of his departure for Japan, Rob (newcomer Michael Stahl-David) sees his going-away party as an opportunity to confess unresolved feelings and tie-up loose ends. However, his agenda takes an unexpected turn when a jolt shakes the revellers.

The crowd quiets down to watch news reports of an earthquake, then rushes to the roof to assess the damage. A fireball explodes on the distant horizon. A power failure follows. Confusion gives way to panic as the partygoers stumble through the blackout and into the streets.

Shot entirely through the group's camcorder, the shaky camera action further heightens the sense of terror as the six young friends attempt to stay one step ahead of an unknown — and seemingly unstoppable — force that is rampaging its way through New York City.

Cloverfield is an exhilarating movie experience that will leave you on the edge of your seat as you get drawn into this spine-tingling action thriller. The two-disc Special Edition is jam packed with over two hours of bonus materials.

NEVER FORGET, the acclaimed musical based on the songs recorded by Britain's favourite boy-band, is taking to the road for a sell-out tour of the UK, before making its West End Premiere, opening in London at the Savoy Theatre on 7 May 2008.

And to coincide with the tour, the Never Forget Live DVD, will be available courtesy of Universal Pictures UK.

The show was recorded live at the Manchester Opera House during the Summer 2007 tour that was enjoyed by more than 100,000 people in Cardiff, Manchester, Stoke, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The stage production, which features the incredible catalogue of songs recorded by Take That, is a feel-good romantic comedy about love, friendship, ambition and betrayal.

With an original story written by BAFTA award-winner Danny Brocklehurst (Shameless, Sorted, Clocking Off) and Guy Jones and Ed Curtis, Never Forget is a brand new musical about the unlikeliest of Take That tribute bands.

Set in Manchester, Never Forget follows the roller-coaster journey of young hero Ash Sherwood, an aspiring singer-songwriter with dreams of making it big. When mounting debts threaten the future of his mum's pub, Ash, along with his fiancée Chloe, realises he needs to make something happen — and quickly.

Along the way, Ash and his new band mates soon discover that pretending to be someone else can sometimes help you discover who you really are.

Packed with all the classic Take That songs, the show includes the Number One smash hits Relight My Fire, Pray, Back For Good, Babe and, of course, Never Forget.

This spectacular stage musical boasts technology never before seen on the West End stage. The show features a moving curtain of rain, water animation and a 10-foot high, 28-foot wide wall of fire. Former Take That Manager Nigel Martin Smith said: "I thought the show was fabulous. It was so theatrical, just like the boys always were. It captured what Take That was all about — it was about having fun."

The Show: 7 May 2008 to Jan 2009 London West End. Contact The Savoy on 0870 168 747.

No Country For Old MenNo Country
For Old Men...


VOTED BEST PICTURE at this year's Academy Awards and acclaimed winner of four Oscars, No Country For Old Men is a gripping tale of stolen money, murder and mayhem.

Based on the celebrated novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy, it features an all-star cast with stunning performances from Tommy Lee-Jones (The Fugitive), Josh Brolin (Grindhouse), Kelly MacDonald (Trainspotting) and an Academy Award-winning performance from Javier Bardem (The Sea Inside).

In the parched scrubland and panoramic skies of West Texas, bloodshed and mayhem erupt after Vietnam veteran turned hunter, Llewellyn Moss (Josh Brolin) stumbles across the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong.

Amid the bloodied crime scene he finds a pickup truck loaded with heroin and two million dollars in cash, but when he flees with the money he sets off a chain of unremitting violence that not even the law, represented by disillusioned Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee-Jones), can bring to an end.

Before long, hunter Moss has become the hunted, pursued from both sides of the law. Scrambling to hang on to his money and his life, he is relentlessly stalked by emotionless killing machine Anton Chigurh, brilliantly portrayed by Javier Bardem, Best Supporting Actor BAFTA and Academy Award winner, who is intent on recovering the loot at any cost.

This gritty game of cat-and-mouse will take you to the edge of your seat and beyond — right up to its heart stopping final moment.

No Country For Old Men is Joel and Ethan Coen's most gripping and accomplished film to date which also won them this year's Best Director BAFTA. No Country For Old Men will be available to buy on DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment from 2 June 2008.
