Once anchored by the love and comforts of their 11-year marriage, Audrey is now adrift. Impulsively, she turns to Jerry Sunborne, a down-and-out addict who has been her husband’s close friend since childhood. Desperate to fill the painful void caused by her husband’s death, Audrey invites Jerry to move into the room adjacent to their garage in the hope that he can help her and her children cope with their sudden loss. Jerry is facing a daily battle to stay off drugs, but in his unexpected role as surrogate parent and friend to Audrey’s son and daughter he finds a core of inner resilience.

Sleuth is a 2007 film directed by Kenneth Branagh based on 2005 Nobel Laureate in Literature Harold Pinter's screenplay adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play Sleuth, by Anthony Shaffer.

The premise of the story is on his sprawling country estate, an aging writer (Caine) matches wits with the struggling actor (Law) who has stolen his estranged wife's heart. The trailer is below.

I'm Not There is a biographical film reflecting the life of musician Bob Dylan.

"The film is going be inspired by Dylan's music and his ability to re-create and re-imagine himself time and time again," according to key producer, Christine Vachon. Some of Dylan's actual music will be used, such as his "Ballad of a Thin Man

The Good German

November 23rd 2006 05:43

The Good German is a 2006 feature film adaptation of a novel by Joseph Kanon Directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, and Tobey Maguire, the film uses archival Russian footage and archived film from Corbis -- edited to blend with scenes shot on soundstages and on Universal Studios' backlot -- to tell a tale which on the surface is a murder mystery, but which weaves elements hinting at NASA's origins -- and the American postwar employment of Nazi rocket scientists. Shot in Technicolor, (which allowed the use of faster film than available black-and-white film stocks, and afforded the ability to use green screen techniques) the film was reduced in post-production -- through the use of a D.I. -- to grainier black and white, to blend with the (carefully restored) archival material. It will be released in America on December 8th. The Australian release date is March 8th next year.

Jacob ('Jake') Geismar, an American war correspondent -- played by George Clooney -- returns to Berlin during the Potsdam negotiations between the Allied powers near the close of World War II. Jacob witnesses his murdered driver, (a black-marketeering American soldier, played with a furious intensity by Tobey Maguire) , being fished from a river eddy, suspiciously adjacent to the Potsdam conference grounds. The corpse is discovered to be in possession of 100,000 German reichsmarks -- which are later revealed to have been printed by the U.S occupying forces

The film tells the untold story of the birth of the Central Intelligence Agency. It will be released in the USA on December 22nd. The Australian release date is February 8th, 2007.

The value of secrecy -- commitment to honour and discretion -- has been embedded in Edward Wilson (Matt Damon) since childhood. As a dedicated, optimistic student at Yale University, he is recruited to join the Order of Skull and Bones, a secret society designed to breed the world leaders of tomorrow. Wilson's acute intelligence, immaculate reputation, and sincere belief in American values render him a prime candidate for a career in intelligence. During the Second World War, Bill Sullivan (Robert De Niro) recruits him to the new Office of Strategic Services, a precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency. As one of the Office's covert founders, duplicity is required of Wilson as he navigates a world where nothing can be accepted at face value
