A new look at Walter Salles’ adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s classic has arrived, so we can get another hint at the tone of the film and it’s rather sepia colour palette. The film follows Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), an aspiring New York writer who meets Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a devastatingly charming ex-con, who’s married to the very liberated and seductive Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Sal and Dean bond instantly. Determined not to get locked in to a constricted life, the two friends cut their ties and take to the road with Marylou. Thirsting for liberty, the three young people head off in search of the world, of other encounters, and of themselves. It’s currently due out on the UK on October 12th.

The Iceman is based on the true story of notorious contract killer Richard Kuklinski, nicknamed ‘The Iceman’. Michael Shannon stars as the real-life hitman who in 1986 was convicted of murdering 100 men for various crime organizations around the New York area. The twist to Kuklinski’s story was that he was also a devoted husband and father whose family was unaware of his real profession until his arrest, he was also a bona fide serial killer, having started killing people long before he took it up as a profession.

When Jimmy is brutally murdered by two hooded figures, the residents of the Serenity House tower block are witnesses to the killing but, fearing retribution, are too scared to give detectives any information and the police investigation is going nowhere. One year later, someone has decided to take justice into their own hands. Picked off one by one, the tenants of the tower block are under threat from a mystery sniper who has set deadly traps throughout the building keeping them prisoners in their own homes. Unsure of why they have been targeted, the group put their differences aside and undertake daring attempts to escape the building. But with every exit leading to another death, will they ever escape? The movie stars Sheridan Smith, Russell Tovey and Jack O’Connell. It hits UK cinemas on September 21st.

The Company You Keep debuts soon at TIFF, and as a result the first trailer for the movie has arrived, which sees Shia LaBeouf trying to track down Robert Redford, who also directs. The drama is Redford’s first time in front of a camera since 2007’s Lions for Lambs, and sees him playa former Weather Underground militant  who’s been wanted by the FBI for 30-years, but is forced out of hiding and on the lam when a young journalist (LaBeouf) uncovers his true identity. The script is adapted from the novel of the same name by Neil Gordon. No UK release date is currently set.

It seems The To Do List is fed up with Valentine’s Day movies that are all schmaltzy and romantic, and so sets out its stall for something more real. It follows the story of Brandy Klark (Plaza), a Type-A, overachiever who comes up with a “to-do list” featuring all the risqué extra-curricular activities she missed out on in high school and wants to complete before college. It should be out early next year, but check out the reb band trailer.

Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way – on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina’s led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see – the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that accompanies these wonders in his life. But it doesn’t take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina’s meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris’s dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge… The film is due out November 30th.
