WITH EWAN MCGREGOR
It is a very slow weekend in news business, so I will entertain you with posters and trailers for two new dramas, beginning with THE BIRTHDAY
CAKE which has Ewan McGregor, Val Kilmer, Penn Badgley and Shiloh Fernandez in the cast. The film, which is currently out in USA, UK and Russia, begins with the 10th anniversary of Giovanni's (Shiloh Fernandez) father's death, Giovanni reluctantly accepts the task of carrying on the family tradition of bringing a cake to the home of his Uncle Angelo, Brooklyn's last Mafia boss, for a celebration. Just two hours into the night, Giovanni's life is forever changed and he's forced to grow up after witnessing murder, violence, chaos and the truth about what happened to his father. Check out the trailer below:

JUNIPER TRAILER & POSTER
WITH CHARLOTTE RAMPLING
Meanwhile, a new poster has been released for Charlotte Rampling's drama JUNIPER for which the spy has shown you a trailer
a few months ago. The film, both written and directed by Matthew Saville (he previously directed fantasy shows Spartacus and Legend of the Seeker Down Under), only has a New Zealand release date in late August, but it did visit a number of movie festivals. Here is the plot of the film which also stars Marton Csokas, George Ferrier and Carlos Muller: When a self destructive teenager is suspended from school and asked to look after his feisty alcoholic grandmother as a punishment, the crazy time they spend together turns his life around.
