GONE BABY GONE – Ben Affleck makes an unforgettable directorial debut with Miramax Films' Gone Baby Gone, a gripping, critically hailed action drama coming to DVD and Blu-ray Disc® on February 12, 2008 from Miramax Home Entertainment.
The superb cast includes Casey Affleck (Ocean's 11 Franchise, Good Will Hunting), Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby, The Shawshank Redemption) Ed Harris, (National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Apollo 13), Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible III, The Bourne Supremacy) and Amy Ryan ("The Wire"). Affleck, (Hollywoodland) and Aaron Stockard wrote the script based on Dennis Lehane's (Mystic River) riveting crime novel about a pair of young Boston detectives racing to find a missing girl on the gritty back streets of Boston. Filled with pulse-pounding action, spellbinding suspense and shocking plot twists, Gone Baby Gone is a film audiences will want to watch again and again.
When four-year-old Amanda McCreary is abducted from Boston's working class Dorchester neighborhood, the girl's aunt and uncle (Amy Madigan and Titus Welliver) hire private detectives Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck) and Angie Gennaro (Michelle Monaghan) to track her down. With the grudging cooperation of Jack Doyle (Morgan Freeman), head of the Boston police department's missing children's division, the pair prowls the ugly underbelly of the city, uncovering a disturbing tangle of secrets. Realizing that everyone around them has undisclosed motives for finding the girl, the detectives ultimately risk everything—their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives, to solve the case.
BECOMING JANE – One of the world's most beloved authors comes into her own in Becoming Jane, a startlingly modern romantic comedy from Miramax Films, on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on February 12, 2008 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. A charming and funny celebration of the love affair that inspired Jane Austen's unforgettable novels, Becoming Jane arrives just in time for Valentine's Day.
Becoming Jane boasts a stellar cast that includes three-time Teen Choice Award nominee Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada, The Princess Diaries franchise), James McAvoy (The Last King of Scotland, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), James Cromwell, (Babe), Maggie Smith, (Harry Potter), Julie Walters (Billy Elliot). Directed by Julian Jarrold (Kinky Boots), Becoming Jane tells a story as dramatic and romantic as any that Austen wrote, about a young woman who dared hope to marry for love.
Becoming Jane enchanted critics with its imaginative and amusing story of star-crossed lovers. Karen Durbin of Elle says the movie is "Witty and thrilling. Anne Hathaway is as bright and elegant as Austen herself." "A magnificent journey to the world of Jane Austen," says Jim Ferguson, Dish Network, who calls Becoming Jane "a love story for the ages." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times dubs the film "A movie every Janeite will want to see."
When 20-year-old Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) meets up with the roguish Tom Lefroy (McAvoy), sparks begin to fly. Initially repelled by his arrogance, the emerging writer slowly realizes that she has finally found a man who appreciates her intellect as well as her beauty. As her parents (Julie Walters and James Cromwell) arrange a wealthy, aristocratic husband for her, Jane begins a clandestine romance with Lefroy. The young man proposes marriage, but his wealthy guardian, who holds his purse strings, disapproves of Jane's outspoken manner and ambition to be a writer, and threatens to cut Tom off. In a world where marriage determines a woman's fate, will they risk everything, including family and friends, for the sake of romance?
