  • Movies NOW and MNX to premiere zombie comedy ‘Little Monsters’

    Mumbai: Movies NOW and MNX are all set to bring the Indian television premiere of zombie comedy film “Little Monsters” on 27 June, Sunday, at 1pm and 9pm. Starring the Academy Award-winning actor Lupita Nyong’o in the lead role, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2019.

    Written and directed by Abe Forsythe, the horror-comedy is about a kindergarten children’s field trip to a farm gone wrong. Their visit to the petting zoo happens to be next door to a U.S. Military base experimenting with regeneration, they find themselves overrun by an invasion of man-eating undead humans. Nyong’o plays Miss Caroline, the teacher, who teams up to save the children from a zombie apocalypse.

    Also starring Alexander England, Kat Stewart, Diesel La Torraca, and Josh Gad, the film is dedicated to Forsythe’s son Spike, whose first day of kindergarten inspired parts of the story. Spike also appears as a ‘school kid zombie’ in the film.

    A frenetic zombie horror coupled with pitch-perfect comic timing, “Little Monsters” promises viewers humorous gags, suspenseful scares, fleshy gore, and quite surprisingly, a dash of heartfelt sentiment.

    ‘The Jungle Book’ to premiere on three Star channels on 27 November

    MUMBAI: Star Movies has been home to the biggest blockbusters that have enthralled audiences over the years. Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD are all set to bring the beloved childhood classic – Disney’s The Jungle Book to audiences in India.

    Some stories leave a lasting impression on our minds while some fade away. Jungle Book is the former; a story that has kept us spellbound with every adaptation, be it TV or film. Academy Award winning director Jon Favreau brings to life Disney’s The Jungle Book as a benchmark of how CGI films have developed over the years. Disney’s The Jungle Book will premiere on Star Movies, Star Movies HD and Star Movies Select HD on 27 November (Sunday,) at 1pm and 9pm.

    The film’s cast includes three Oscar winners: Ben Kingsley, Lupita Nyong’o and Christopher Walken; and an Oscar nominee: Bill Murray. Featuring Neel Sethi as Mowgli with voices from Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, Scarlet Johansson, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’o and many more, the film rings true to Rudyard Kipling’s timeless tale. All the characters in the movie played an instrumental role in helping Mowgli make the jungle his home. Whether it was Raksha who took care of him as her own; Bagheera who protected him from the sinister Shere Khan or the free spirited Baloo- they formed a family like no other. Disney’s The Jungle Book is about values as much as it is about the grandeur of film-making.

    With a worldwide gross of over US$ 963.7 million, the film is the year’s highest grossing Hollywood film in India and second biggest grossing film of 2016 (Hindi and English including).

    Visually stunning, Jon Favreau’s re-telling of a classic pays tribute to the original adventure of one of your most beloved childhood stories.
