Adam – Win x4 Sets of Fox DVD Bundles
July 31, 2009
The story of two strangers, one a little stranger than the other.
Fox Searchlight Pictures proudly announces the UK release of ADAM, starring Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne, in cinemas nationwide from Friday 7th August 2009.
Winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, ADAM has been selected as the Closing Night film of the Edinburgh International Film Festival on Saturday 27th June.
Romance can be risky, perplexing and filled with the perils of miscommunication – and that’s if you aren’t ADAM, for whom life itself is this way. In this heartfelt romantic comedy, Hugh Dancy (THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB, CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC) stars as Adam, a handsome but intriguing young man who has all his life led a sheltered existence – until he meets his new neighbour, Beth (Rose Byrne, “Damages,” 28 WEEKS LATER, KNOWING), a beautiful, cosmopolitan young woman who pulls him into the outside world, with funny, touching and entirely unexpected results. Their implausible and enigmatic relationship reveals just how far two people from different realities can stretch in search of an extraordinary connection.
ADAM is written and directed by Max Mayer, whose TV credits include THE WEST WING and ALIAS, and co-stars Peter Gallagher and Amy Irving.
We have x4 Sets of fantastic Fox DVD Bundles up for grabs to lucky GG readers, all you have to do to enter is leave us a comment below! Easy!
Winners will be chosen at random on or after September 1st 2009. Good luck!

PASSENGERS DVD Competition!
July 28, 2009
Released on DVD & Blu-ray 27th July, 2009
The line between this world and the next, is about to be crossed
After a horrific plane crash, a young therapist, Claire Summers (Oscar Nominee Anne Hathaway), is assigned by her mentor (Andre Braugher) to counsel the flight’s five remaining passengers. Claire’s difficulties in taking on such an assignment are made all the more complex when she’s confronted by Eric (Patrick Wilson), a passenger who refuses her help and instead uses the crash as an excuse to break the rules and openly court her. As Claire struggles to maintain a professional distance from Eric, her other patients struggle with recollections of the accident which are at odds with the airline’s official explanation. After their memories of a possible mid-air explosion surface, the passengers begin mysteriously disappearing, and Claire suspects the airline is behind it. Determined to uncover the truth, Claire is drawn deeper into a conspiracy—and deeper into a relationship with Eric—that will soon collide in an explosive twist of fate.
Mandate Pictures’ thriller Passengers stars Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada, Brokeback Mountain) and is directed by Rodrigo Garcia (Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, Nine Lives) from a screenplay by Ronnie Christensen. Patrick Wilson (The Watchmen, Little Children), David Morse (The Crossing Guard, The Green Mile), Andre Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street, Poseidon), Clea DuVall (Identity, 21 Grams), and two-time Oscar®-winner Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters, Bullets over Broadway) round out the cast.
Passengers is produced by Keri Selig (The Stepford Wives, Three To Tango), Matthew Rhodes (Southland Tales), Judd Payne (Southland Tales), and Julie Lynn (10 Items or Less, Nine Lives). Mandate’s Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane executive produce with Kelli Konop and Mary Lee co-producing.
