LEGEND ushers in the new year with ten adrenaline-fuelled channel premieres, including Peter Weir’s much acclaimed war drama GALLIPOLI, which solidified Mel Gibson’s stature as a leading man. Other well-known directors featured this month are The Fast and Furious helmer Rob Cohen with military science fiction action thriller STEALTH, Mike Figgis, who teams up with an outstanding Richard Gere for psychological crime thriller INTERNAL AFFAIRS, and Saturday Night Fever director John Badham, with American political thriller NICK OF TIME, starring Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken.
Other channel premieres include the box-office smash MECHANIC: RESURRECTION, the sequel to The Mechanic, starring Jason Statham, and submarine suspenser HUNTER KILLER, starring Gerard Butler and Gary Oldman. The magnificent Oldman pops up again in gangster drama LAWLESS, which also stars Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce.
Then there is alien invasion thriller BATTLE LOS ANGELES, the darkly gripping Western THE LAST SON, starring Sam Worthington, Thomas Jane, and Heather Graham, and spy thriller SURVIVOR, starring Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan and Roger Rees in his final film role.
