  • The Commuter Production Notes
    THE COMMUTER PRODUCTION NOTES RELEASE DATES Australia, New Zealand & Germany (STUDIOCANAL): January 11th 2018 US (Lionsgate): January 12th 2018 UK (STUDIOCANAL): January 19th 2018 France (STUDIOCANAL): January 24th 2018 CONTACTS [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 1 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Following the worldwide success of Unknown, Non-Stop and Run All Night, star Liam Neeson and director Jaume Collet-Serra reunite for a fourth time with explosive thriller THE COMMUTER about one man‘s frantic quest to prevent disaster on a packed commuter train. The screenplay proved irresistible to both the director and star, not just for the bravura of the action and the thrill of the suspense but for the moral conundrum the protagonist is faced with and the consequences it has on him, the passengers on the train and his family at home. “THE COMMUTER asks the audience, if someone asked you to do something that seems insignifi- cant but you’re not sure of the outcome in exchange for a considerable financial reward, would you do it?” says Jaume Collet-Serra. “That‘s the philosophical choice that our central character - a man of 60 who’s just been fired, has no savings and is mortgaged to the hilt - is faced with. Is he think- ing just about himself or is he going to take into consideration the possible moral consequences of what he’s asked to do? That’s the question we want the audience to ask themselves.” For Neeson, it was also the story’s real-time narrative that gives it a thrilling momentum.

    LONDON / CANNES MARKET REPORT 2008 Prepared by Ross Matthews (Senior Investment Manager), Scott Meek and Tait Brady (Evaluation Managers) En route to Cannes, Brian Rosen and Ross Matthews met in London for two days of meetings before heading south to Cannes. These were three primary goals: • Seek out possible sources of Offset cashflow loans, given that the UK industry had settled the early nerves associated with a new initiative, very similar to our own. • Have face-to-face meetings with UK providers of equity and gap already attached to several of our recently approved projects. • Take a reading on the general state of the UK industry, particularly as it has, as we have done, recently shifted from an industry driven by tax incentives to one supported by direct subsidy via a tax offset. Since the demise of Sale and Leaseback, Section 48 and the GAAP schemes replaced by the introduction of a 20% tax offset for British film, the UK industry seems now to have stalled. Production levels are down and by all accounts the industry is hurting. Many UK films now pass the cultural test that determines the offset but shoot off shore in Continental Europe rather than in the UK, as its become cheaper to do so. Although there are a small number of tax effective schemes still in play in the UK, there is a generally held view that the Chancellor’s axe will inevitably fall. The tax driven funding mechanisms still in play are: EIS schemes : this scheme allows investors to write off expenditure which supports start up companies.
