Anna Foerster directs this action-horror, the latest instalment in the Underworld series, following Selene (Kate Beckinsale) as she is caught in the midst of the unending conflict between the Lycan and Vampire factions. The Lycans are preparing to mount a terrible and final war against the Vampires, intent on completely destroying them. At the head of this force there is an ambitious leader named Marius (Tobias Menzies) who intends to harvest the blood of Selene, a pure Vampire, to achieve unrivalled power. Selene and her allies must find a way to stop Marius if they are to have any chance of survival. To this end, Thomas (Charles Dance) sends Selene north to uncover a power that may save them from destruction, but time is running out, as the power her blood offers is desired by the Vampires too. The cast also features Theo James, Lara Pulver and Trent Garrett.

Roland Emmerich directs this political thriller based around the notion that William Shakespeare was not in fact the author of the canon of plays attributed to him. In Elizabethan England, political intrigue abounds as the Tudors and the Cecils battle it out over the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Joely Richardson/Vanessa Redgrave), and the Essex Rebellion mobilises against her. Enter the dashing and wildly talented Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (Jamie Campbell Bower/Rhys Ifans), who not only fathers an illegitimate son in a clandestine incestuous relationship with Queen Elizabeth, but is also the secret author of the plays labeled with the name of William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall).
