FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Well Go USA picks up Armie Hammer military thriller MINE for North America Dallas, TX (July 7, 2016) – Well Go USA Entertainment announced its acquisition of North American rights for Fabio Guaglione and Fabio Resinaro’s MINE, starring Armie Hammer and produced by Peter Safran’s The Safran Company (THE CONJURING, ANNABELLE, BURIED). MINE is an action-packed military thriller starring Armie Hammer (FREE FIRE, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., THE BIRTH OF A NATION) as a U.S. soldier who, stranded after a mission goes awry, must single-handedly battle for survival against his enemies, the unforgiving desert environment, and the creeping psychological toll of his treacherous situation. The film co-stars Annabelle Wallis (ANNABELLE, THE MUMMY) and Tom Cullen (WEEKEND). A theatrical, digital, and home video release throughout the US and Canada will follow the film’s debut on the fall festival circuit. “An excellent thriller can surprise and shock audiences, and MINE is a great example of that,” said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA Entertainment. “It’s a raw and unnerving genre film with an angle that will resonate with fans,” she said. MINE was written and directed by Fabio Guaglione and Fabio Resinaro and produced by Peter Safran. MINE was produced by The Safran Company in association with Roxbury, Poznan Film Group and Sun Film. Executive producers are Armie Hammer, Miguel Angel Faura, Natalia Safran, Fabio Guaglione and Fabio Resinaro.

TRAINING THE DOCTORS OF THE FUTURE ARE WE AND Medical students from around the metroplex volunteer at Agape as a way to get hands-on training. We're proud that many of them are inspired to continue to work with underserved communities. HEALTHCARE WITH LOVE. EVERYONE INVITED. Synopses for DVD / Blu-Ray / Streaming Titles (completed for 250+ movies across all platforms) Igniting the screen in the role that made him an icon, Donnie Yen (IP MAN 1 & 2, CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON 2) returns to the blockbuster martial arts series as Ip Man, the real-life Wing Chun grandmaster who mentored Bruce Lee. When a ruthless real estate developer (Mike Tyson) and his team of brutal gangsters make a play to take over the city, Master Ip is forced to take a stand against the crooks, thugs, gunmen, and another rival Wing Chun master (Jin Zhang) to protect his students, his city, and his own family. Fists will fly as some of the most incredible fight scenes ever filmed, choreographed by the legendary Yuen Woo Ping (THE MATRIX, KILL BILL), come to life in this genre classic. ------ In this unbelievably tense supernatural thriller, a foreigner’s mysterious appearance in a quiet, rural village causes suspicion among the locals - suspicion which quickly turns to hysteria as the townspeople begin killing each other in brutal outbursts for seemingly no reason. As the investigating officer watches his daughter fall under the same savage spell, he agrees to consult a shaman for answers, - unknowingly escalating the situation into something far more dangerous. Over six years in the making, director Na Hong-jin’s meticulously crafted follow-up to the globally acclaimed THE YELLOW SEA and THE CHASER (his third to premiere at the Festival de Cannes) smashed box office records upon its debut in South Korea, where fans are already making return viewings to catch new clues and debate what’s sure to be the most talked-about ending of 2016. ------ Back with his first film in 8 years, legendary Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien wowed this year's Cannes Film Festival (where he won Best Director) with his awe-inspiring THE ASSASSIN - a wondrous take on the traditional wuxia film. The story is simple, if elusive - in 9th-century China, Nie Yinniang is a young woman who was abducted in childhood from a decorated general and raised by a nun who trained her in the martial arts. After 13 years of exile, she is returned to the land of her birth as an exceptional assassin, with orders to kill her betrothed husband-to-be. She must confront her parents, her memories, and her long-repressed feelings in a choice to sacrifice the man she loves or break forever with the sacred way of the righteous assassins. Rich with shimmering, breathing texture and punctuated by brief but unforgettable bursts of action, THE ASSASSIN is a martial arts film like none made before it. ------ Manufacturing just 50 grams of meth in China will earn you a death sentence. Timmy Choi (Louis Koo) just got caught making tons. Now he's in the custody of Captain Zhang (Sun Honglei), and has one chance to avoid execution - turn informant and help the cops bring down the powerful cartel he’s been cooking for.

David Martin-Jones KEYWORDS Ip Man, Deleuze, recollection-image, martial arts, physical memory, Chinese diaspora. ABSTRACT This article explores how Gilles Deleuze’s conceptualization of the flashback, as ‘recollection-image’, can assist our understanding of the rendering spectacular of physical memory in contemporary Chinese martial arts movies. The focus is a prominent flashback in the climactic duel in the kung fu movie, Yip Man/Ip Man (Yip, 2008). This recollection-image demonstrates how trained bodies in Chinese martial art movies suggest a slightly different understanding of time and affect from that which Deleuze formulated, based on his observation of US and European films. On textual, cultural and historical levels this article explores the usefulness of martial arts movies for developing our understanding of physicality in cinema, and for reconsidering Deleuze’s ideas in light of the Eurocentrism of some of his conclusions.
