  • Come As You Are

    Come As You Are

    Eureka Entertainment have announced that they have acquired the rights to Come As You Are (Hasta La Vista), Geoffrey Enthoven’s film about love, unconditional friendship and lust, based on the experiences of Asta Philpot – an ardent campaigner for disabled people.

    Three guys in their twenties love wine and women but they are still virgins. Under the guise of a wine tour they embark on a journey to Spain hoping to have their first sexual experience. Joseph is blind, Lars is confined to a wheelchair and Philip is paralysed from the neck down, but they’re not going to let anything stand in their way…

    Come As You Are is a charming, funny and commercial feel good foreign language film which will appeal to fans of the award winning comedy dramas The Intouchables, Rust and Bone & The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Come As You Are won the Audience Awards at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2012, the European Film Awards 2012 and the Montreal World Film Festival 2012 as well as the Grand Prix des Amerique and a special jury mention at the Montreal World Film Festival 2012.

    Ian Sadler, Sales Director for Eureka Entertainment commented “In 2012 the people of London, the country and the world marvelled at the achievements of the Paralympians. Come as You Are is an extremely moving and inspiring film and we hope that with its release we can help to continue to break down barriers and continue to raise awareness of the challenges, rights and needs of disabled people in the UK.”

    Come As You Are (Hasta La Vista) will be released theatrically in key cities around the UK and Eire on 7 June 2013 and will celebrate its Charity Premiere on 5 June in central London.

  • Top 20 Movie Icons

    Top 20 Movie Icons

    Film Distributors’ Association (FDA) today announces the results of a substantial poll to determine UK cinema audiences’ favourite movie icons of all time.

    The top twenty spans seven decades of the cinema, from the 1940s to the 2000s. It embraces a ‘who’s who’ of stylish screen heroes – and some villains – who have made an indelible impression on audiences’ hearts and minds in successive generations to earn their places in cinematic folklore.

    The poll is published to coincide with today’s launch of the UK cinema line-up for summer 2013, which includes a range of favourite movie icons revitalised for contemporary audiences, including The Lone Ranger, Superman/Clark Kent (in Man of Steel), the Wolverine (from the X-Men universe), the Star Trek crew and, a decade after Monsters, Inc., Mike and Sulley return in Monsters University.

    The survey was conducted online for FDA by Show Film First Ltd. in two stages – firstly to seek a long list of public nominations of characters who had come to personify essential qualities of the cinema itself; and then a vote for the top twenty. More than 2,000 people aged 15 and over contributed nominations, while more than 7,000 participated in the second-stage vote in April 2013. Here is the full chart:

  • Happy Birthday Quid!

    Happy Birthday Quid!

    Did you know that the pound coin turned 30 on Sunday? They’ve  found some fantastic research comparing the cost of everyday items from the coin’s inception, in 1983, to today. For example, did you know that in 1983, you could get almost six Mars bars for a pound, with only around one for a pound today.

    There’s a great interactive web page, where you can find out more, and even design your own pound coin – which is pretty addictive!

    There’s also a quiz – do you know which film franchise was bought for under a pound? Or which famous movie location was bought for a quid?
