Paramount Vantage unveils their Fall Line-up!

Paramount Vantage just release their fall/’winter schedule for 2008. Out of the Gate we will have two films based on true stories, The Duchess and Defiance.

“The Duchess” is the story of Georgia Spencer, the Duchess of Devonshire, the original royal diva and blood relative to Princess Diana. The Duchess was determined to be a “player” in world affairs and proved it by out-gambling, out-drinking and out-witting most of the aristocratic men around her. The Duchess of Devonshire was instrumental in changes in England by leading the forward thinking Whig Party. But as her popularity and though that her power grew she was still stymied by the one man in England she could not control..her husband the Duke.The Duchess of Devonshire is played by Kiera Knightley,one of her finest roles to date. She is opposite Ralph Fiennes as the rigid and stallworth Duke of Devonshire. The Duchess is a story of an extraordinary woman who rose to fame by staying true to her passions and paid the price for it.

Defiance, based on a true story, is an epic tale of family, honor vengeance and salvation in Eastern Europe during the Nazi regime of World War II. Defiance stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell as three brothers who go from just surviving to avenging the many slaughtered by the Nazis by saving thousand of other’s lives. Tuvia (Craig) is the leader of the resistance and is constantly challenged by both his brothers Zus (Schreiber) and Asael(Bell) who believe their brother’s plans will doom them all. At first the goal was to stay alive, but then word spreads of their daring exploits and they attract more and more men,women and children willing to risk everything for life and freedom. Defiance is directed by Edward Zwick who brought us Blood Diamond and Glory, and looks to have yet another hit on his hands with Defiance.
