The Company you Keep

Jim Grant (Robert Redford) is a civil rights lawyer and single father raising his daughter in the tranquil suburbs of Albany, New York.

His world is turned upside down, when brash young reporter Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf), exposes Grant’s true identity as a former 1970s anti-war radical fugitive wanted for murder.

After living for more than 30 years underground as a lawyer, Grant must now go on the run.

He is the centre of a nationwide manhunt and with the FBI in hot pursuit, he sets off on a cross-country journey to track down the one person that can clear his name.

Shepard knows the significance of the national news story he has exposed and for a journalist, this is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Hell-bent on making a name for himself, he is willing to stop at nothing to capitalize on it. He digs deep into Grant’s past.

Despite warnings from his editor and threats from the FBI, Shepard relentlessly tracks Grant across the country.

It opens on July 19.

I Give it a Year

A comedy that lifts the veil on the realities of the first year of marriage.

Since they met at a party, ambitious high-flyer Nat (Rose Byrne) and struggling novelist Josh (Rafe Spall) have been deliriously happy despite their differences. Josh is a thinker, Nat’s a doer, but the spark between them is undeniable.

Their wedding is a dream come true, but no one – family, friends and even the minister who marries them – is convinced that they will last.

Josh’s ex-girlfriend, Chloe (Anna Faris), and Nat’s handsome American client Guy (Simon Baker) could offer attractive alternatives.

With their first anniversary approaching, neither wants to be the first to give up, but will they make it?

The film also features Stephen Merchant, Minnie Driver and Jason Flemyng.

It opens on July 19.
