Tweet

"Concrete Utopia” stars Lee Byung-hun, Park Seo-jun and Park Bo-young have a special message for their Filipino fans. Watch the video:

Directed by Um Tae-hwa, Concrete Utopia is loosely based on Part 2 of the hit webtoon “Joyful Outcast” (“Pleasant Neighbors”) and stars an ensemble of A-list Korean actors including Lee Byung-hun, Park Seo-jun, Park Bo-young, Park Ji-hu, Kim Do-yoon and Kim Sun-young. It is a disaster thriller about the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. The film will follow the story that begins when the survivors gather at Hwang Gung Apartments, the only building left standing in an earthquake-ravaged Seoul.

The film is a sobering parable, following its characters’ gradual descent into ruthless tribalism in a way that eerily mirrors so many contemporary global events.

Concrete Utopia opens in Philippine cinemas September 20. Can’t wait? Catch a sneak preview today. Sneak previews are available only until September 12.

Walt Disney Pictures upcoming animated adventure, “Frozen,” directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan,” “Surf's Up”) and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, “Wreck-It Ralph”), and produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Winnie the Pooh,” “The Princess and the Frog”). The film features music from Tony® winner Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q”) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (“In Transit”).

The film "Frozen" seems like one cool comedy. Walt Disney Animation Studios was adapting Hans Christian Anderson's tale The Snow Queen filled you with awed anticipation as they show "rife with religious symbolism, and about a young girl who must rescue her friend who was taken by the evil queen. The studio has turned the story into a laugh-a-line family adventure in which a normal girl must face off with her 'evil' sister when said evil sister's ability to shoot snow from her hands threatens to cloak the land in eternal winter.

 In “Frozen,” when a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna (voice of Kristen Bell), a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna's sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, an amazing and comedic snowman named Olaf, Everest-like conditions and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.

Opening across the Philippines in 3D and 2D on Nov. 27, “Frozen” will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.

The 3D, CG-animated family comedy “Arthur Christmas,” an Aardman production for Sony Pictures Animation, at last reveals the incredible, never-before-seen answer to every child's question: “So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?” The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic – a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero: Santa’s youngest son, Arthur. When this amazing operation misses one child out of hundreds of millions, the least capable Claus embarks on a hilarious, exciting rogue mission against the clock to deliver the last present before Christmas morning dawns.

“The movie is really funny and very clever – in just the way that all Aardman material is,” James McAvoy says, who provides the voice of Arthur. “It’s ingenious, inventive, irreverent, different, and funny – I suppose that’s what drew all of us to do it.”

The film also stars Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, and Ashley Jensen. Directed by Sarah Smith. Produced by Peter Lord, David Sproxton, Carla Shelley and Steve Pegram. Written by Peter Baynham and Sarah Smith. Co-Producers are Chris Juen and Peter Baynham. Co-Director is Barry Cook.

Opening across the Philippines in December, “Arthur Christmas” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Visit www.sonypictures.com.ph to see the latest trailers, get free downloads and play free movie games.
