Majestic hits with latest Hollywood blockbusters
By Susiths R. Fernando
Following the success of films like 'Water' and
'Superman Returns', a set of the latest Hollywood blockbusters are
lined up to be released at Majestic Cinema Colombo.
'Superman Returns' will be followed by Oliver
Stone's 'World Trade Center', a movie revolving around the 9/11
attack.
Originally released on August 18, 2006, ‘World
Trade Center’ is one of the newest films starring Nicolas
Cage, Michael Pena, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Maria Bello and Stephen Dorff.
The true story of Will Jimeno and John McLoughlin,
two Port Authority police officers who rushed into the burning World
Trade Center on 9/11 to help rescue people, but became trapped themselves
when the tower collapsed. A race against time ensued to free them
before their air ran out.
World Trade Centre is produced by Donald J. Lee
Jr, Norm Golightly, Michael Shamberg.
The 'World Trade Centre' will be followed by box
office hit ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest’.
Released worldwide on July 7 2006, the film stars Johnny Depp, Orlando
Bloom, Keira Knightley and Jack Davenport.
Directed by Gore Verbinski the action- adventure
is produced by Bruce Hendricks, Mike Stenson and Chad Oman.
Captain Jack Sparrow is caught up in another tangled
web of supernatural intrigue. Although the curse of the Black Pearl
has been lifted, an even more terrifying threat looms over its captain
and scurvy crew: it turns out that Jack owes a blood debt to the
legendary Davy Jones, Ruler of the Ocean Depths, who captains the
ghostly Flying Dutchman, which no other ship can match in speed
and stealth.
Unless the ever-crafty Jack figures a cunning
way out of this Faustian pact, he will be cursed to an afterlife
of eternal servitude and damnation in the service of Jones.
This startling development interrupts the wedding
plans of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who once again find themselves
thrust into Jack's misadventures, leading to escalating confrontations
with sea monsters, very unfriendly islanders, flamboyant soothsayer
Tia Dalma and even the mysterious appearance of Will's long-lost
father, Bootstrap Bill. Meanwhile, ruthless pirate hunter Lord Cutler
Beckett of the East India Trading Company sets his sights on retrieving
the fabled "Dead Man's Chest." According to legend, whoever
possesses the Dead Man's Chest gains control of Davy Jones, and
Beckett intends to use this awesome power to destroy every last
Pirate of the Caribbean once and for all. For times are changing
on the high seas, with businessmen and bureaucrats becoming the
true pirates--and freewheeling, fun-loving buccaneers like Jack
and his crew threatened with extinction.
At $135,634,554 domestically in its opening weekend
and Walt Disney Pictures' summer blockbuster was the fastest motion
picture to reach $100 million, accomplishing the feat in two days.
The film is imported and distributed by the Cinema
Entertainment (Pvt) Limited (CEL).
