    Star Movies & Star Movies Select HD lines up two premieres

    MUMBAI: Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD is all set to premiere two family movies this festive season. While Star Movies will air Penguins of Madagascar on 25 December at 1 pm and 9 pm, Star Movies Select HD will air Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day on 26 December at 9 pm.

     

    Penguins of Madagascar is directed by Simon J. Smith and Eric Darnell and features penguins namely Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private joining forces with a chic undercover organisation, The North Wind to stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine from destroying the world. 

     

    This 3D animated action comedy adventure film star the voices of Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Conrad Vernon, Christopher Knights, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Malkovich and Ken Jeong.

     

    The troop will hide Christmas gifts on the channel’s Twitter handle for the fans. The onlookers have to spot the gift and tweet about it using the #PenguinsOnStarMovies handle. The chosen few who crack the code of the movie get a chance to win a gift of their choice.

    Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day from Disney follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander played by Ed Oxenbould as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he’s not alone when his mom played by Jennifer Garner, dad enacted by Steve Carell, brother played by Dylan Minnette and sister played by Kerris Dorsey all find themselves living through their own terrible day.

  • Wyatt Russell, son of Kurt, to joining Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill in ’22 Jump Street’

    Wyatt Russell, son of Kurt, to joining Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill in ’22 Jump Street’

    MUMBAI: Wyatt Russell, the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, is joining Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in 22 Jump Street, the sequel to Sony’s hit action comedy 21 Jump Street.

     

    Phil Lord and Chris Miller are back in the director’s chair for the movie, which moves the undercover cop conceit from high school to college.

     

    The part is a major coup for Russell, who up until now has been known for his minor league hockey career. (In fact, he played a hockey player in last year’s Judd Apatow comedy This Is 40.) But he has been slowly making in-roads into screen work, with recent credits that include Cowboys & Aliens and Love and Honor, a drama that also starred Liam Hemsworth and Teresa Palmer.

     

    His part in Jump Street is sizable: He plays a frat brother who bonds with Tatum’s character and is the lead suspect in the case.

     

    Russell, repped by UTA, is currently shooting Cold in July opposite Michael C. Hall and will also play the role of Bobby Orr in the indie hockey movie Turk opposite Ed Burns and Logan Marshall Green.
