The stars of New Line Cinema's "The Final Destination" take an
escalator ride to Hell.
In the strangest cinematic battle of 2009, studios are going head-to-head with two of the highest-profile horrors of the year. Will death come full circle to unmask Michael Myers? Only time will tell...
“The Final Destination”
New Line Cinema's fourth entry in the “Final Destination” franchise – and the first one exhibited in 3D – kicks things off on the race track as Nick O'Bannnon (Bobby Campo) has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. Successfully persuading his friends to leave before his nightmare becomes a reality, death returns to knock each of them off one-by-one.
“Halloween II”
Rob Zombie follows up his revisioning of the story behind fictional serial killer Michael Myers' past with Dimension Films' “Halloween II.” It is that time of year again and the sleepy town of Haddonfield, Illinois suddenly receives a visit from an old resident bent on taking care of some unfinished family business. Unleashing a trail of terror, Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) will stop at nothing to bring closure to the secrets of his twisted past.
“Taking Woodstock”
Ang Lee directs Focus Features' “Taking Woodstock,” a comedy inspired by the true story of Elliot Tiber and his family, who inadvertently played a pivotal role in making the famed Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the happening that it was. Set in 1969, the flick stars Demetri Martin as Elliot a young man who is forced to help his parents run the dilapidated motel The El Monaco. With the bank about to foreclose Elliot reaches out to the producers of a hippie music festival thinking it could drum up some much-needed business. Little does he know that half a million people are on their way to the culture-changing phenomenon.
“Play the Game”
Showhand Cinema Releasing's “Play The Game” is a romantic comedy that tells the story of a young ladies man named David (Paul Campbell) who teaches his lonely, widowed grandfather (Andy Griffith) how to play the dating game, while playing his best games to win over the girl of his own dreams (Marla Sokoloff). Although David's "foolproof" techniques fail in his own pursuit of love, they quickly transform his grandfather into the Don Juan of the retirement community as student becomes master.
“Cold Souls”
Paul Giamatti portrays an actor named Paul Giamatti in Samuel Goldwyn Films' "Cold Souls." He enlists the help of a high-tech company that extracts, deep-freezes and stores people's souls to boost happiness levels. However, when he is the unfortunate victim of "soul-trafficking" Giamatti's journey takes him all the way to Russia in hopes of retrieving his stolen soul from an ambitious but talentless soap-opera actress. David Strathairn, Dana Korzun and Emily Watson also star in the flick.
