The Sweeney

Nick Love’s reworking of the classic British cop drama stars Ray Winstone and Ben Drew (Plan B) as Flying Squad detectives Jack Regan and George Carter. Expect plenty of high-octane car chases, punch-ups, gun fights and painfully London accents. Hayley Atwell, Damian Lewis and Steven Mackintosh also feature.

Paranorman

This horror-themed stop-motion animation follows a young boy called Norman Babcock who can communicate with the dead. Having worked on the art department for Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride as well as Coraline, Chris Butler has now penned his first screenplay feature, which he has directed along with Sam Fell.

Premium Rush

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in this story about a bike courier who inadvertently becomes involved in a scandal while on a delivery. He is pursued by a corrupt cop (Michael Shannon) and must use all of his trickery to make it through New York in one piece.

To Rome With Love

Woody Allen returns with another travelogue-comedy after the excellent Midnight In Paris, this time set in Rome. A typically all-star cast sees Alec Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg, Penelope Cruz, Ellen Page and Roberto Benigni star amongst numerous others.

Hope Springs

Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep star in this comedy about a couple who, after many years of marriage, have found their sex lives wither and die, along with most of their happiness. They seek a week-long relationship counselling service from a professional doctor, played by Steve Carell.
