From WILLOW and Jess Hendel comes a powerful and groundbreaking
historical epic about an African warrior in the world of the
Vikings. Lore, legend, and history tell us of the Vikings: of
warrior-kings on epic journeys of conquest and plunder. But the
stories we know are not the only stories to tell. There is another
story, one that has been lost to the mists of time: the saga of the
dark queen. That saga begins with Yafeu, a defiant yet fiercely
compassionate young warrior who is stolen from her home in the
flourishing Ghanaian Empire and taken as a slave to a distant
kingdom in the North. There she is thrust into a strange, cold
world of savage shield maidens, tyrannical rulers, and mysterious
gods. And there she also finds something unexpected: a kindred
spirit. She comes to serve Freydis, a shy princess who couldn't be
more different than the confident and self-possessed Yafeu. But
they both want the same thing: to forge their own fate. Yafeu
inspires Freydis to dream of a future greater than the one that the
king and queen have forced upon her. And with the princess at her
side, Yafeu learns to navigate this new world and grows
increasingly determined to become one of the legendary shield
maidens. For Yafeu may have lost her home, but she still knows who
she is, and she's not afraid to be the flame that burns a city to
the ground so a new world can rise from the ashes. She will alter
the course of history -- and become the revolutionary heroine of
her own myth.

Big budget thriller based on the novel by Richard Matheson. Robert
Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist but even he could not
contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and
man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in
what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years
Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to
find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not
alone. Mutant victims of the plague - The Infected - lurk in the
shadows, watching Neville's every move and waiting for him to make
a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is
driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the
effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is
outnumbered, and quickly running out of time.
