Synopsis: Humanoid Kainan (James Caviezel) tumbles down from space into the world of the Norwegian Vikings. His spaceship has crashed. Taken hostage by the local warrior clan, he tries to warn his captors that he has not come to Earth alone.

“My people call it a Moorwen. Believe me, the first time I saw one, I didn’t know what I was looking at. It was just a smudge of light in the darkness… it kills men, beasts, everything – and it smells like death.”

They dismiss his stories as “some lies about a dragon,” but when they are finally confronted with the Moorwen, they begin to understand the terror that is driving Kainan. Together they decide and plot to destry the monster. But apparently its not as easy as it seems, they learn.

“Outlander is a full-blown epic with all the trimmings; The Sea, under water flexography, a CGI creature, a Viking village, animals, children. The film was shot in the frozen north of Canada, in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.

“I really thought it was cool. For a guy like me and for my writing partner Dirk Blackman who both like genre films, Beowulf is the progenitor of all western monster movies. You look at James Cameron’s Aliens or Lord of the Rings, they all have their roots back in Beowulf. That story has become so embedded in so many ways in pop culture – this story of a mother monster, a baby monster, a Viking. Science-fiction is our way of buying into that so we gave the story the science fiction twist. Also, Dirk and I really like mixing genres. We even coined our own phrase – Sci-mythic.” says Director Howard McCain.

The movie will simultaneously release in Hindi and will be called Kurukshetra. It is also being dubbed in Tamil and Telugu.

From the director of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ comes yet another outstanding romantic comedy based on a novel by John Grogan that has broken all records at the U.S. box office. ‘Marley & Me’, directed by David Frankel, starring Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson & Eric Dane released in the US on Dec 25th, 2008 with a collection of $14.75 Million — the largest Christmas Day opening in motion picture history.

The comedy grossed a best-in-show $106.7 million in 11 days & ranks as the third-highest grossing dog movie on record. ‘Marley & Me’ is releasing in India on February 6th 2009.

Synopsis:

As the snow falls on their wedding night, newlyweds John and Jenny Grogan (OWEN WILSON and JENNIFER ANISTON) decide to leave behind the harsh winters of Michigan and head south to begin their new lives in West Palm Beach, Florida. They obtain jobs as journalists at competing local newspapers, buy their first home, and begin to make their way through the challenges of a new marriage, new careers and, possibly, the life-changing decision to start a family.

Unsure of his preparedness for raising children, John confesses his fears to his friend and fellow journalist Sebastian, who comes up with the perfect solution: John should get Jenny a puppy. “There’s nothing to it,” says Sebastian. “You walk ‘em. You feed ‘em, you let ‘em out now and then.”

Then came Marley.

The Grogans adopt the cute, twelve pound yellow Labrador, who in no time at all, grows into a 100-pound steamroller of unbridled energy that turns the Grogan home into a disaster area. He flunks obedience school, chews off dry-wall, takes a bite out of the sofa, overturns garbage cans, steals a Thanksgiving turkey, consumes pillows and flowers, drinks toilet water, and chases the UPS guy. Even a newly-purchased, expensive necklace isn’t safe from Marley’s voracious antics.

Amidst the mayhem he generates through the years, Marley sees the Grogans through the ups and downs of family life, through job and home changes, and most of all, through the myriad challenges of a growing family. As John and Jenny come to realize, Marley – “the world’s worst dog” – somehow brings out the best in them.
