In Black Butterfly Antonio Banderas plays Paul, a down-on-his-luck screenwriter who picks up a drifter (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and offers him a place to stay. Soon enough just how bad an idea that was becomes abundantly clear…

Black Butterfly is a remake of the French thriller, Papillon Noir by Herve Korian; a version that starred ex-footballer Eric Cantona. May this Brian Goodman directed version please be worthy.

Piper Perabo, Nathalie Rapti Gomez and Timothy Martin also star.

Black Butterfly Release Dates: 20017 (US)…

Today’s movie comes in the shape of a TV mini-series. I don’t ordinarily feature mini-series on here but this trailer…!

British actor Malachi Kirby, Matthew Goode, Forrest Whitaker and Anna Paquin are the stars of Roots – to name just a few. Based on the book by Alex Haley, Roots presents a portrait of American slavery, following the journey of one family, their will to survive and transcend their circumstances.

As many will be aware, this is not the first dramatisation of Alex Haley’s best selling book. The previous version starred LeVar Burton and was released in 1977 to great critical acclaim. I’ll be watching because this trailer looks great and Roots is based on Haley’s own family history.

Other cast members include Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Anika Noni Rose and Tip “T.I.” Harris.
