“A Whale Of A Tale” Documentary Release Set

Posted on by

Megumi Sasaki’s award-winning documentary A WHALE OF A TALE will be released on iTunes in the US, Canada and UK on Tuesday, October 30.

In 2010, Taiji, a sleepy fishing town in Japan, suddenly found itself in the worldwide media spotlight. THE COVE, a documentary denouncing the town’s longstanding whale and dolphin hunting traditions, won an Academy Award and almost overnight, Taiji became the go-to destination and battleground for activists from around the world.

Can a proud 400-year-old whaling tradition survive a tsunami of modern animal-rights activism and colliding forces of globalism vs. localism?

A WHALE OF A TALE reveals the complex story behind the ongoing debate. Told through a wide range of characters including local fishermen, international activists and an American journalist (and long time Japanese resident), this powerful documentary unearths a deep divide in eastern and western thought about nature and wildlife and cultural sensitivity in the face of global activism.

Trailer And Poster For “Escape Room”

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

Sony Pictures has released the poster and trailer horror thriller film “Escape Room” which recently moved up its released date from early February to January 4, 2019.

The trailer sees a group of strangers who received an invitation from a mysterious organization called MINOS. The invite sends them to an escape room to play a game: be the first to escape the “most immersive room yet” and they will win a million dollars.

But that won’t be easy because they have to solve riddles to win. Or else they will die.

The film looks both fun and creepy, with some elements from horror films Jigsaw and Cabin in the Woods thrown in the mix, though less gruesome than both, at least from what we’ve seen so far.

Directed by Adam Robitel (Insidious: The Last Key, The Taking of Deborah Logan), from the script by Bragi F. Schut and Maria Melnik, the film star Logan Miller, Deborah Ann Woll, Taylor Russell, Tyler Labine, Jay Ellis, and Nik Dodani.

Here’s the film’s official plot synopsis:
“Escape Room is a psychological thriller about six strangers who find themselves in circumstances beyond their control and must use their wits to find the clues or die.”

Escape Room is set to hit theaters on January 4th, 2019.
