Trailer Tuesday: American Sniper (2014)

After directing the slightly disappointing Jersey Boys (2014) - click here to see my review - Clint Eastwood is back in the directorial chair. His new film, American Sniper, is set to be a much greater success. And if the trailer is anything to go by, it certainly will get audiences hooked.

The movie is based on Chris Kyle's autobiography of the same title. The Navy S.E.A.L has been acknowledged as the deadliest sniper in American military history. His confirmed kill count reached 160 deaths out of 255 claimed kills. He served four tours during the Iraq War and was awarded with various medals for his service.

Bradley Cooper plays Kyle and the movie spans his military career. Sienna Miller also stars as Kyle's wife, Taya Renae Kyle. 

The trailer is very tense and I am definitely intrigued to find out more.

The movie will be released in the States on Christmas Day, but UK audiences will have to wait until 16th January 2015.

Trailer Tuesday: The Imitation Game (2014)

A new week, a new Trailer Tuesday. Ticket Stub's choice today is The Imitation Game which tells the story of Alan Turing and the pioneering Enigma machine which helped crack the impossible German code during the Second World War.

The film stars the mighty Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing. Other cast members include Keira Knightley, Charles Dance, Mark Strong and Rory Kinnear. The British film looks to be a tense and dramatic depiction of the code breaking at Bletchley Park - a place well worth the visit if you get the chance.

The film is to have its European premiere at the BFI London Film Festival in October. Festival director, Clare Stewart, has more details below:

"We are thrilled to announce one of the most anticipated films of the year – The Imitation Game – as this year’s BFI London Film Festival Opening Night gala. Featuring extraordinary performances from the British talent in front of the camera and vividly directed by Morten Tyldum, The Imitation Game does cinematic justice to Alan Turing’s vision, determination and personal story as well as his enduring impact on British history and contemporary life."

The Imitation Game looks to be a brilliant British drama for the autumn.
