Featuring an all-star cast, The Northman is an epic revenge thriller that explores how far a Viking prince will go to seek justice for his murdered father.
Double bill of futuristic horror films. In 'The Purge' (2013),
Ethan Hawke stars as the head of a family forced to fight for their
lives. With crime in America spiralling out of control and prison
populations soaring, the government of the day implements a drastic
new initiative to address the problem. For a 12-hour period once a
year, all crime, including murder, is legal, as the police and
other emergency services stand down for the night, allowing the
population to regulate itself. 'The Purge' is deemed a success due
to plummeting crime levels and record low unemployment figures. But
after placing their upmarket home under its yearly lockdown, James
and Mary Sandin (Hawke and Lena Headey) and their family find
themselves under siege from a crazed group of masked killers when
their teenage son (Max Burkholder) offers shelter to the mob's
terrified prey. In 'The Purge: Anarchy' (2014), following on from
events in the previous film, a year has passed and the time for
society to purge itself of all murderous and violent urges has come
back around. Desperate to get home to their children before 'The
Purge' commences, a young couple (Zach Gilford and Kiele Sanchez)
find themselves stranded when their car breaks down, leaving them
at the mercy of a mob of masked attackers. Meanwhile, a man (Frank
Grillo) looking to avenge the murder of his son becomes the
reluctant protector of a mother and daughter (Carmen Ejogo and Zoe
Soul) on the run. Can they all survive the night?
With disarming emotional honesty, Ethan Hawke's first novel
captures that agitated, electric moment between youth and adulthood
when every new feeling becomes a source of mystery and wonder, and
every experience seems overlaid with staggering possibility or
certain doom. Hawke's narrator will be disconcertingly familiar to
anyone who has ever felt the fierceness of young love: Meeting
Sarah catapults William into a world of shame and ardor and
unspeakable tenderness, and in six head-spinning months he comes to
know both the restless, overmastering ache of first love and the
wild and ruinous grief it leaves behind.
Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke, in the most disturbing role of his career, stars in a new psychological thriller from Blumhouse and the director who brought you Sinister and Doctor Strange.
Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.

Security for presidential candidate Charlene Roan (Elizabeth
Mitchell). With Charlene the front runner in the election race due

and ensure she survives the upcoming Purge, the one night where
lawless violence and chaos prevail. When an unfortunate turn of
events results in the pair being cast out onto the streets of D.C.
on the night of the Purge, they must seek help from a band of
anti-Purge rebels in order to survive.
A collection of irreverent and poetic short works from legendary actor Vincent D’Onofrio This is not a story woven around plot, characters, and contrivance. Rather, it is what acclaimed actor Vincent D’Onofrio’s mind produces when on idle, when he is not thinking about servicing a story. His words are, in the purest sense, ideas that fall unexpectedly upon his head, “like an apple from a tree―dropping all at once,” though less about gravity and Newton’s apples, and more about levity. D’Onofrio’s thoughts and images―presented here in all their uninhibited glory―are humorous, honest, abundant, raw, and unfiltered. And all exceedingly enjoyable. The unique design―a paperback with flaps and Chinese binding, all contained in a full-color, hardcover slipcase―offers the book an artistic, collectible feel.

Set against the quiet and unassuming city of Huntsville, Texas,
Jack "Meadowlark" Johnson, and his teenage son, Cooper embark on a
journey of epic proportions. Told over the course a single day,
this electrifying graphic novel recounts Cooper's struggle to
survive the increasingly catastrophic consequences of his father's
mistakes and the dangers they have brought home to his estranged
family. As Cooper and his father desperately navigate cascading
threats of violence, they must also grapple with their own
combative, dysfunctional, but loving relationship. Drawing on
inspiration from the authors' childhoods in Texas, their
relationships with their own sons and from ancient myths like The
Odyssey that resonate throughout the ages, this contemporary crime
noir is a propulsive coming-of-age tale of the shattering
transition into manhood. While both father and son strive to
understand their place in the world and each other's lives, tension
and resentment threaten to boil over. As emotionally evocative as
it is visually stunning, this captivating graphic novel will appeal
to fans of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men and Terrence
Malick's Badlands.
A beautifully crafted debut from one of the brightest young stars
of American cinema. There's nothing more exhilarating than falling
in love for the first time. And nothing more confusing... 'William
is 20; sexy, confident and easy. Then he meets Sarah and falls in
love, and his confidence and ease, upon which his sexiness rests,
are called into question. Sarah is troubled, obviously so, but
William is so besotted he fails to notice or to care... Obsessive
first love is an enduring - and difficult - subject for first-time
novelists, but Hawke has managed to encapsulate well the
characteristics of a love affair doomed by one-sidedness and the
psychological breakdown which follows it... His writing is
searingly open; his prose, full of freshness of love and the agony
of loss, is beguiling. The Hottest State captures beautifully the
awfulness of being captured.' Mary Loudon, The Times
The year is 1872. The place, the Apache nations, a region torn
apart by decades of war. The people, like Goyahkla, lose his family
and everything he loves. After having a vision, the young Goyahkla
approaches the Apache leader Cochise, and the entire Apache nation,
to lead an attack against the Mexican village of Azripe. It is this
wild display of courage that transforms the young brave Goyakhla
into the Native American hero Geronimo. But the war wages on. As
they battle their enemies, lose loved ones, and desperately cling
on to their land and culture, they would utter, "Indeh," or "the
dead." When it looks like lasting peace has been reached, it seems
like the war is over. Or is it? INDEH captures the deeply rich
narrative of two nations at war-as told through the eyes of Naiches
and Geronimo-who then try to find peace and forgiveness. INDEH not
only paints a picture of some of the most magnificent characters in
the history of our country, but it also reveals the spiritual and
emotional cost of the Apache Wars. Based on exhaustive research,
INDEH offers a remarkable glimpse into the raw themes of cultural
differences, the horrors of war, the search for peace, and,
ultimately, retribution. The Apache left an indelible mark on our
perceptions about the American West, and INDEH shows us why.
'Riveting work' Patti Smith 'Vivid . . . it communicates a real
power' Sunday Times 'A wild ride of a book' Metro Actor William
Harding has been caught cheating on his rock star wife and the
press have descended upon him. Amid the headlines and worldwide
disdain towards him, he takes on the part in Henry IV. He must
examine himself, and who he has become, under the brightest of
lights and the keenest of eyes. 'A considered meditation on the
evil of celebrity and the demanding yet restorative power of
theatre' New Statesman 'An emotional ode to theatre as medicine for
heartbreak, and an interesting meditation on fame' Radio Times 'A
witty, wise heartfelt novel' Washington Post
__________________________ 'Ethan Hawke is a true writer and his
duality as an artist is skilfully reflected in A Bright Ray of
Darkness. Hawke circles, descends, and crawls into his characters
skin. Grimy shadows pass over the footlights, into the bowels of
the theatre, where a struggling actor, perhaps mirroring the
writer, seeks the vine of redemption, and claws his way into
becoming. Bright Ray is a riveting work.' PATTI SMITH The first
novel in nearly twenty years from the acclaimed
actor/writer/director, A BRIGHT RAY OF DARKNESS is a book about art
and love, fame and heartbreak -- a blistering story of a young man
making his Broadway debut just as his marriage implodes. A bracing
meditation on fame and celebrity, and the redemptive, healing power
of art; a portrait of the ravages of disappointment and divorce; a
poignant consideration of the rites of fatherhood and manhood; a
novel soaked in rage and sex, longing and despair; and a passionate
love letter to the world of theatre, A Bright Ray of Darkness
showcases Ethan Hawke's gifts as a novelist as never before.
Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself
after the collapse of his marriage, still half-hoping for a
reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on
as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the
wreckage of his personal life with whisky and sex. What saves him
is the theatre: in particular, the challenge of performing
Shakespeare in his Broadway debut under the leadership of a
brilliant director. Searing, raw, and utterly transfixing, A Bright
Ray of Darkness is a novel about shame and beauty and faith, and
the moral power of art.

'A guide for living an upright and noble life' The New Yorker 'An
easy and endearing read' Publishers Weekly 'Never announce you are
a Knight, simply behave as one. You are better than no one, and no
one is better than you.' On the eve of a battle from which he fears
he may not return, Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke writes a letter to his
children so that he may pass on his-hard won lessons on knighthood.
Drawing on philosophy and the great writings of our time, the
letter provides instructions on living a life full of adventure,
inspiration and, most importantly, love. Rules for a Knight is a
beautiful fable by Ethan Hawke. 'Philosophy lovers will enjoy the
Eastern and Western philosophical musings, but everyone will enjoy
the touching storyline' Metro

In 2002, director Richard Linklater and a crew began filming the
"Untitled 12-Year Project." He cast four actors (Patricia Arquette,
Ethan Hawke, Ellar Coltrane, and Lorelei Linklater) in the role of
a family and filmed them each year over the next dozen years.
Supported by IFC Productions, Linklater, cast, and crew began the
commitment of a lifetime that became the film, Boyhood. Seen
through the eyes of a young boy in Texas, Boyhood unfolds as the
characters-and actors-age and evolve, the boy growing from a
soft-faced child into a young man on the brink of his adult life,
finding himself as an artist. Photographer Matt Lankes captured the
progression of the film and the actors through the lens of a 4x5
camera, creating a series of arresting portraits and
behind-the-scenes photographs. His work documents Linklater's
unprecedented narrative that used the real-life passage of years as
a key element to the storytelling. Just as Boyhood the film calls
forth memories of childhood and lures one into a place of
self-reflection, Boyhood: Twelve Years on Film presents an honest
collection of faces, placed side-by-side, that chronicles the
passage of time as the camera connects with the cast and crew on an
intimate level. Revealing, personal recollections by the actors and
filmmakers accompany the photographs.
