Although John is now a bachelor, Ted has settled down with Tami-Lynn, the trashy woman of his dreams. As marital problems begin to affect the newlyweds, Ted and Tami-Lynn decide to have a baby in order to save their marriage. Their hopes are crushed when the Commonwealth of Massachusetts declares Ted to be not a person, but property, and therefore ineligible to adopt. He is fired from his job at the grocery store and summarily informed that his marriage has been annulled. Angry and dejected, Ted channels his frustration and asks his best pal to help him sue the state and win him the rights that he deserves.

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton tells the story of how these youngsters revolutionised music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.
After U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott is killed in Afghanistan, Max, his highly trained service dog, is too traumatised to remain in service. Back in the U.S., Kyle’s family adopts the dog, but teenage brother Justin (Josh Wiggins) has problems of his own and doesn’t want the animal. However, Max may be Justin’s only chance to learn what really happened to his brother. With the help of a dog-savvy friend, Justin and Max begin to bond, and set out to unravel the mystery of Kyle’s death.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE From exposing the mole who framed him for murder to stopping a madman’s global nuclear war, if Mission: Impossible has proven anything, it’s that for Ethan Hunt, Impossible is nothing. WORDS LEE CURTIS
EPIC STUNTS
Each Mission Impossible film has its defining action moment, and while these could easily be accomplished with CGI and stunt doubles, Cruise carries out nearly all the jaw-dropping stunts himself, including... • Escaping a collapsing aquarium and 16-ton torrent of water • Dangling from a cliff-face • Laying beneath a jack-knifing lorry • Climbing the world’s tallest building And as every film seeks to outdo the last, Rogue Nation sees Cruise clinging to the outside of an airplane as it takes off and climbs to 5,000 feet.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION RELEASED 31 JULY / Director Christopher McQuarrie / Starring Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg / Genre Action, Adventure, Thriller
I
“
t’s not as if any mission is gonna be rougher than the last one, is it?” Benji Dunn’s desperate plea that concluded the previous film becomes somewhat ironic as Ethan Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force (IMF) return to action, facing greater threats, bigger stunts, and louder explosions in what promises to be their most impossible mission yet. Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt for a fifth instalment in the Mission: Impossible franchise. This time, with
the IMF still operating under the Ghost Protocol contingency, their leader must call in favours for one final but epic mission: to prove the existence of the Syndicate - a rogue organisation of terrorists as highly skilled as the IMF and dedicated to a new world order - and stop them at any cost. In addition to tackling this “antiIMF”, Hunt and his team must recruit lethal British agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), whose true loyalties are unknown. Other returning cast members include Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner and Ving Rhames. Expect daring escapes (such as Cruise hanging off a plane midair), explosive action sequences, and Cruise’s own breathtaking stunts to keep the adrenaline flowing. July / August 2015 15

ake a group of young outsiders, all of whom possess different yet invaluable talents, and set them to work on unlocking the enigmas of inter-dimensional travel. Then cast those individuals into a devastating intergalactic void filled with untold mortal dangers. What happens when only four return home? Gifted (or perhaps cursed) with unimaginable powers, this group of scarred scientists and broken explorers find themselves reborn, their bodies and minds irreversibly altered and enhanced beyond all recognition. The group must confront and grapple with their new abilities; however, what they discovered on that planet threatens to haunt their new existence and doom the earth. Despite being Marvel Comics’ first team of superheroes - The Fantastic Four first graced newsstands with their genetically altered presences in 1961, two years prior to The Avengers’ unveiling - their previous cinematic exploits have been underwhelming. Uninspired casting and generic storytelling of the previous films flung the group into a z-list superhero limbo. Fans were left distraught over the mishandling of their heroes, while Hollywood studios were unwilling to risk light box-office takings and further negative reviews. However, as many comic book characters have previously proven - especially those with nipples on their batsuits - there’s always a way out of the Blu-ray bargain bin darkness and into the summer blockbuster light. Ironically, several relaunches of popular characters have highlighted the best way to achieve this is by telling a darker, grittier story that
focuses not just on awe-inspiring feats of mental and physical strength, but the depths of genuine human emotion. Fantastic Four looks sure to employ this formula while also mixing in a few unexpected ingredients. Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, and Jamie Bell star as Reed Richards, Johnny Storm, Sue Storm, and Ben Grimm, respectively. Accomplished Brit actor Toby Kebbel steps into the egomaniacal boots of one of the Marvel Universe’s most despicable villains, Doctor Doom, promising a controversial shake-up of the character’s origins and agenda. The Machiavellian and often mystical Doctor Victor von Doom is no more; in his place is Victor Domashev, an anti-social hacker who leaves a trail of online destruction under the simple pseudonym Doom. However, after an alliance with his four former acquaintances comes to a shocking end, that devastation will reach far beyond lines of binary code and science lab walls. In spite of the secretive nature of 20th Century Fox’s reboot and the mysteries surrounding what the plot will truly entail, comic book lovers will be fully aware of the highly influential nature of The Fantastic Four throughout many major Marvel events. Interestingly, director Josh Trank (Chronicle) has cited that alongside offering up a much gloomier incarnation of the ensemble, elements of cult horror cinema have seeped into the film to heighten audiences’ understanding of the terrifying transformations many characters undergo after journeying to the notorious Negative Zone. Perhaps this exciting and hard-hitting new direction can finally situate Marvel’s most enduring group at the forefront of silver screen superhero action. A door to a fearful new world has been opened. Now, we must defend our own.

FIGHT THE FUTURE RELEASE DATE 3 JULY / Director Alan Taylor / Starring Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, Arnold Schwarzenegger / Genre Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
J
udgement Day cannot be stopped. For decades, humanity has been forced to wage a war for survival not just on the devastated battlefields of a future Earth, but across time itself. Genisys begins in 2029 with the
resistance on the verge of triumph. Knowing the stories of his childhood, John Connor sends Kyle Reese back in time to protect his mother. But the past Kyle finds is very different to the one it should be. Sarah Connor isn’t a shy waitress, but instead an orphan, raised since the age of 9 by a reprogrammed T101 (Schwarzenegger). With the timeline in tatters, Kyle, Sarah and the aging machine must survive the coming onslaught - the
TERMINATOR GENISYS original Terminator, a T1000, and something new and even more terrifying: somewhere between man and machine, the T3000 is the ultimate hunter, a hybrid Terminator created from none other than the leader of the resistance, John Connor himself. Genisys attempts to break new ground. With Arnie ‘back’ once again, a blockbuster budget, it looks set to relaunch the iconic franchise in a thrilling new direction.
2009 2003 1991 1984 TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY THE TERMINATOR A cyborg from the future is sent back to kill the mother of the resistance leader.
Once sent to kill Sarah, the Terminator must now protect her and John from an advanced terminator made of liquid metal.

Set in the future. On the eve of the resistance’s final offensive, John Connor discovers a humanmachine hybrid - but can it be trusted?

BOND IS BACK
SPECTRE RELEASE DATE 23 OCTOBER / Director Sam Mendes / Starring Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, Ralph Fiennes / Genre Action, Adventure, Thriller
After the astonishing success of Skyfall, the most successful British film of all-time, director Sam Mendes returns to cinema’s longest running action franchise for its 24th instalment; Spectre. When a cryptic message arrives at restructured MI-6, James Bond (Daniel Craig) must explore his past once more as he seeks to locate a sinister terrorist organisation. While the new M (Ralph Fiennes) fights a political battle to save the British Secret Service, Bond faces one of his toughest assignments yet as he peels back layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE and its menacing leader Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz). Spectre picks up where its predecessor left off, but also integrates the other films from Daniel Craig’s tenure - Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace and, most excitingly for Bond fans, goes back to where it all began with a compelling fresh take on Bond’s earliest and most iconic villain. 20 July / August 2015

RELEASE DATE 25 SEPTEMBER / Director Anton Corbijn / Starring Joel Edgerton, Robert Pattinson, Ben Kingsley / Genre Biography, Drama
RELEASE DATE 30 OCTOBER / Director Sarah Gavron / Starring Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Meryl Streep / Genre Drama
Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan will star as renowned Magnum photographer Dennis Stock and Hollywood legend James Dean in Anton Corbijn’s next feature film Life. Stock was 26, old before his time and already tied down to family life. Into his buttoned-down world came fledgling star James Dean, a free spirit who would change popular culture from suits to jeans and from matinee idols to teenage heartthrobs. The assignment would change Stock’s life and provide the world with some of the most iconic images of the age.
Suffragette is a thrilling drama that tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, women who were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal State. These women were not primarily from the genteel educated classes, they were working women who had seen peaceful protest achieve nothing. Radicalised and turning to violence as the only route to change, they were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality - their jobs, their homes, their children and their lives.

LIFE BEYOND THE GLADE THE MAZE RUNNER: THE SCORCH TRIALS RELEASE DATE 11 SEPTEMBER / Director Wes Ball / Starring Nathalie Emmanuel, Dylan O’Brien, Aidan Gillen / Genre Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller Welcome to The Scorch; a savage wasteland where even the air you breathe kills you. Devoid of life and filled with sporadic electrical storms and city-swallowing dunes, The Scorch is a dystopic region devastated by the catastrophic sun flares. But that isn’t even the half of it. It’s also toxic, as a deadly airborne virus kills anyone who breathes it. Worst of all, it slowly eats away at victims’ brains and turns them into insane, rage-filled cannibals. These Cranks rule the Scorch, and on top of all these new dangers, make the maze look like a walk in the park.
A
devastating solar flare has transformed the world into a dusty, lifeless, Mad Max-esque wasteland and it’s the last thing Thomas and his fellow Gladers hoped to see after escaping the maze. Solving the maze was supposed to be the end, but our heroes soon discover that it’s only the beginning as they face another life-threatening trial in Phase Two of WCKD’s experiment. As the project to weed out the weak and reveal those strong enough to lead humanity’s
next chapter escalates, the Gladers are left entirely to their own devices and given two weeks to race across one hundred miles of scorched earth to reach their Safe Haven. After his successful debut with the previous instalment, returning director Wes Ball unites the stars and surviving cast members of The Maze Runner with a host of new actors, including Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito, and Game of Thrones’ Aiden Gillen as WCKD’s rat-faced Assistant Director Janson, for the adaptation of the second book in James Dashner’s trilogy.
