Sugar Trailer

Sugar is a drama film written and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Algenis Perez Soto stars here as Miguel Santos (Sugar), and the film follows his journey through life as a struggling baseball player, determined to become a star.

Sugar lives his life in poverty, but his goal in life is to achieve great success. The film is not strictly a sports flick, but instead focuses on Sugar’s journey, his struggle, and also his dreams.

Sugar will hit UK cinemas on June 5th 2009, and was first shown at the Sundance Film Festival back in January 2008.

Here’s the official trailer for Sugar:

Inglourious Basterds Secures a Summer Release

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is to open at the cinemas on August 21st 2009. The film, which stars amongst others Brad Pitt, is split into five chapters and focuses on two converging storylines. One storyline the film follows is about a group of prisoners that have banded together in order to battle a group of Nazis, and the other looks at a Jewish woman with an aim to avenge the death of her parents at the hands of the said Nazi group.

Tarantino, whose last film was Death Proof, is definitely taking a drastic change in direction with his latest film, and it’ll be interesting to see what he makes of this one. Inglourious Basterds is certainly a film with fantastic potential, and it could yet turn out to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer.

Inglourious Basterds is all set to go head to head with Final Destination 4: Death Trip 3D, and will certainly be one to watch out for this summer. Samuel L. Jackson’s narration will surely be excellent, and I feel that this is definitely something that will add strength and depth to the film.

Tarantino hopes to have Inglourious Basterds finished and ready for showing the Cannes Film Festival in May.
